The kind of insanity that Homegrown Hitler is currently exhibiting seems ominously reminiscent of the latter stages of the original Hitler, when his made up reality was imposed on the world. The difference now is that people in established media are freely saying that he is insane, but the outcome is basically the same: his power is not threatened. Being crazy without consequence is the proof of dictatorship.
And if you wondered how Germany could follow a crazy man even before his power to destroy anyone who dissented was fully established, just look around. Insanity is contagious. There isn't an institution (beginning of course with Congress and its crazed tax bill but including the media) that isn't showing signs of some form of insane behavior.
By now it's becoming clear that we aren't going to get out of this unscathed. The damage is growing and could accelerate beyond anyone's ability to control it.
But let's find comfort in this sweet old song. Try to ignore the visuals.
