Not nearly to the level where Hitler was, but he's still trying....
And the techniques are still the same. Play in onto the fury of the people, promise to make your country great, and make sure you can blame others. That technique is what Trump tries to do.... Many countries have today many laws and bylaws to prevent any leader from being what Hitler was, and that is why Trump cannot be what Hitler was, in the position of country leader, and well, I thank everything I can thank for that one.
But take a speech from Hitler and replace all occurances of the word "Jew" with "Mexican", and everyone would believe the speech to be written by Trump. Take a speech from Trump and replace "Mexican" with "jew" and you'd believe it was written by Hitler. Scapegoating!
Hitler did actively hunt down journalists who were not writing what he wanted. Trump tries to get them accused of fake-news. Both method serve the same goal. Making the press non-free.
"Make America great again" is similar to "Ein Deutschland über alles" (A Germany above everything). A nothing saying slogan, meant to place your nation above all others.
The techniques are the same. Hitler only had the possibilities to turn it into actively killing, but the that is the level of execution, and use those, but that has nothing to do with the strategy behind it.
Scapegoating, silencing the press, and content-less slogans placing the people they represent over the other people. The three KEY elements Hitler used to rise to power and to keep it, and Trump did the same. Of course, Hitler would have killed the "squad", and Trump would not, but what he tried to do "making them leave the country" had the same goal. Make sure they could no longer criticize him. You should think in the goal and strategy behind the deeds. Not the deeds themselves, and then you can understand how things work!
