      I know you’re being facetious and asking this from their side, but from our non-Nazi side I highly recommend “The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich” by Shirer which is a great telling of how Hitler rise to power and a study of him and his crew. I’m sure Trump types read these histories to learn and try to pick up where Hitler failed.

        My reading of history is that Hitler failed because he was Hitler.

        He was a powerful orator, and also a narcissistic man baby, high on his own self importance long before he was high on meth/cocaine/heroin/etc.

        He was too paranoid to trust anyone more competent than he was, and he was fucking incompetent.

        I could go on, but in short, Hitler was a conman who tapped into that special hatred that some people have in place of their hearts.

      Yeah there’s a bunch of history books. My mom had a collection of history books on the second world war with accounts of what happened and the atrocities committed.

      You just have to take notes in a notebook and call it Project 2025.

      i mean. i guess. it’s titled “my daddy never hugged me and kept me away from my mom, whom he may or may not have effectively purchased on account of how incredibly impoverished she was”
