What's to worry about Trump?
I found it truly amazing to read Rich Lorimer's recent letter. Says hem "It is most frightening that Donald Trump is saying what a lot of people are thinking. There is strong similarity to 1936 Germany when the German people elected Adolf Hitler into power."
Go back seven-plus years and one could say the identical thing about then-candidate Obama. Not only that, over the last seven-plus years, some of the very same things Rich mentions about Hitler doing, President Obama's administration has either done already, or wants to do.
Abolish democracy? He's working on it; he does not let the Constitution get in the way of his agenda.
Demolish free speech? Already done that to a limited degree, trying to make it a crime to disagree with anthropogenic global warming, among other things.
Demolish opposition to his party? Done that in a huge way; just watch the reaction to this letter if it gets published.
But what else did Hitler do? He disarmed the people. What's this administration's views on an armed populace? Strikingly similar.
If everyone swooned for Barack Obama and still support him today, then what's to worry about Trump?
