One big difference between Nazi Germany and the US....

[Fil1957]

6. One big difference between us and Nazi Germany is culture. Self governance, freedom of speech and due process have

been part of our dominant culture for the last 250 years with the roots of these arguably going back to 1215 C.E. with Magna Carta.

Other countries that are or became authoritarian do not have this heritage. Germany had been a democracy for only 15 years before Hitler came to power. Russia has a Czar in Putin, (though they call him president) just as they have had for most of the last 500 years.

China has President Jinping, although for all practical purposes he is an emperor, just has China has had for the last 2000 years.

Another big difference is the economy. Hitler was able to come to power because of a poor economy. However with Trump, all the early indications are that we are headed to a deep recession or worse due to his leadership, the opposite of Hitler.

There may be other differences, but those are the two big ones. Hope they'll be enough to save us.
