    @NZedAUS The people of power who backed and propped up Hitler because he was a charismatic boob they thought they could harness and control were just as sorely mistaken. It’s sort of a repeat. I’m not making that comparison in a “Trump is Hitler” Godwin way. I think he’s more a repeat of Mussolini, which is bad enough. It’s just the most poignant other time this sort of move blew up in a bunch of rich/powerful people’s faces equally spectacularly.
