You’re exactly right. Which is why my point is that in our two party system, the “left” has to put up an inspiring candidate to beat him. Hitler and Trump are essentially the same archetype, rejected narcissists who prey on people’s fear by feeding them scapegoats. About 30% of the population has narcissistic, authoritarian sentiments at any given time. So for such a person to come to power, they only need to suppress the opposition below a plurality of 30%.
In Nazi Germany, Hitler came to power because the left was fractured by bickering among the many factions. They refused to unite into a coalition to address the problems of the Great Depression.
In MAGA America, we have the two party system which prevents voter fracturing, but the liberals are refusing to embrace the need for change and thus suppressing their own voter base below the 30% by platforming the status quo while people are suffering and unhappy.
