ID: A snippet from an old newspaper:

DANES SEE HITLER WAGING TARIFF WAR

Increases Virtually Ban Their Cattle-Scandinavian Papers Call for Reprisals.

Wireless to THE NEW YORK TIMES. COPENHAGEN, Feb. 10.-The recent cancellation of the Swedish- German trade treaty, with the resultant voiding of the most-favored-nation clause, has seemingly been used by the Hitler government as an opportunity to open a tariff war on the Scandinavian countries and the Netherlands.

Another comparison that we don't often talk about is how during the Nazi period there was also opposition to vaccinations.

It was bound to happen. The US almost had a nazi takeover at that time and they just sweeped it under the rug, then brought in more scientist nazis out of fear of missing out on advanced technology.

Also the German Nazis were literally taking notes on the Jim Crow South in the USA for inspiration.

Diffrence is Donald will die in office.

Vance will take over and give the illusion of moderating things. Throwing token gestures out to playcate the masses and throw up a smokescreen to make anyone who sees what will happen look like a tinfoil hat nutjob.

And then he will be so much worse.
