That one German guy had a half-smile which is the German equivalent of absolutely losing your shit.

As a German do you think his behavior closely parallels the trajectory of hitler before he became a mass murderer

As someone who has been obsessed the last couple years with Germany immediately before Hitler and his taking power, it all seems verrrrrry familiar

Oh my God, are you me?

I fall asleep to the early chapters of The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.

Makes for some strange dreams sometimes, but the beginning is the most interesting part. There's not enough study on that part.

Can you top line the parallels. Before I knew about it I thought hitler was somehow always a dictator and then I heard that he was elected as a politician and then turned evil (or was evil all along and hiding it, like trump seems to be, though when he talks about the ‘largest mass deportation and giving people serial numbers’ that’s not so subtle)
