What do you think of the current resurgence of white nationalism and anti-Semitism in the U.S.?

As an alternate question, what do you think of an education system that seemingly failed to provide a balanced history of Nazi Germany to the the "alt-right" demographic?

Trump wasn't mentioned in that comment, however dour my opinion of him is.

I don't believe I've ever been accused of hysterics before. Maybe you're seeing things you should be reflecting on instead.

I can't pretend to answer this for OP, but comparing the two is absurd. Hitler was capable, and rose to power through an understanding of the processes; and manipulation of governmental institutions.

Donald Trump is probably going to inspire a shift in the idiomatic definition of "trump" to mean incompetent failure rather than flawless victory. His grasp of the Constitution and federal government is on the level of a middle school child, not an intelligent and capable leader.

None of this is meant as praise towards Hitler. His failings we're just as pronounced despite his capacity for leadership.

The Doctor would know what to do, and it would be an elaborate trip to some strange world where there is something that shouldn't be and you would be immersed in a field state that causes your body to degenerate and then you would turn into a time lord and The Doctor will have to break that time stream and you would be right back to where you were, and would simply decide you weren't in the mood and pretend to have a headache. Seems like it would work right?

It's never been evidenced by government leaders as wholly and completely as the recent statements made by the President. Or perhaps you want to rationalize a comparison of people responsible for founding this nation and people who's primary goal was to dismantle it?

Good luck with that. I'll be ever so interested to see what kinds of casuistry you can strum together on that front.
