The world is very different even if history can repeat, you cannot repeat things in a completely different time and expect the same outcomes. I see the strong parallels as well, but I would be cautious to simply predict too eagerly because the previous part of the graph fit so well atm

This is assuming that MAGA would READ...comprehend...and have an attention span that could finish this important novel. I'm taking odds they can't/won't. If there is an oddity, and one or two DO read it, they'll declare it FAKE and/or "just like Biden"...or some such nonsense. It's a sickness.

Its an excellent book. Richard Evans three parter; The Third Reich is also a must read. It goes into huge detail about how the Nazis rose up from nothing and how they solidified their power through every element of German society.

History is screaming at us to pay attention. Read and re-read this book last year. Sad thing is that all the institutions set up to prevent another WWII are now being casually tossed aside. Never forget? We've forgotten.

I have read it. The similarities between then and now are scary. It is like we are living in Germany of the mid to late 1930’s.

Tremendous book. The part I talk about most is how Shirer feelt the need to insert himself in the book, back when that was not done, becaues he left Germany on vacation and realized from the media there that everything the media in Germany had been telling people for years was a lie. Cf. Fox News.

Agreed. Also "It Can't Happen Here" by Sinclair Lewis is remarkable in that it happened very much how he predicted. It's fiction, but ought to have been a warning.
