Chip et al,

TRIGGER WARNING - If you are uncomfortable with opinions that differ from
your own, or have not left your echo-chamber due to feeling threatened,
please stop reading.

Undoubtedly you've heard about the Muslim woman attacked by Trump
supporters in SanDiego, or the KKK group in the school in Maryland, or the
swastikas at Long Island community college, or the Church in Mississippi
that was burned, or the anti-muslim literature given to a professor at U.
Oklahoma, or the anti-latino grafitti at Elon University in NC, or the
Mosque in Texas that was burned?  ALL of them were hoaxes, perpetrated by
the 'victim' in an attempt to scare people into voting a specific way.
That was all FAKE NEWS, designed to scare you, and it worked.

I get it.  Really, I do.  You think President Trump is Hitler.  Literally
Hitler, like with a missing testicle and everything.

But think for just a moment.

It wasn't Trump or his supporter who called Steve Harvey a 'Mediocre Negro'
or 'Uncle Tom'.

It wasn't Trump supporters threatening violence because they didn't like
the results of the election.

It wasn't Trump supporters having their own version of kristallnacht after
the election.

Tell me again which side you think lines up with the Nazis?

If you ignored the warning and read anyway, I'm sure you'll be able to find
a coloring book and kitten to reassure you that all is right in the world.

Way too many similarities to 1933 in Germany even to the coziness to the
Russians (Putin, Stalin) before Russia was invaded. Putting Bannon,
Sessions,  and others of their ilk as close advisors is way too similar
to Himmler and Heinrich. Pence w/ his outspoken anti-LGBT  statements
and Indiana state laws.  Mr. Bannon the chairman of Breitbart News
<http://www.breitbart.com/> has for years given voice to anti-Semitic,
racist and white nationalist ideology.  This scrid is not about tax
policy, health care, or education ? even though all those and more are
so important. This is about racism, bigotry, intimidation esp of
females,  and the specter of corruption and possible treason.

My immediate family is a mix of Anglo, Jew, Black, and Native American.
3 out of 4 makes us particularly antsy. Now pics w/ Trump signs on rail
cars  and Auschwitz are appearing on Twitter

Trump throughout the course of his entire election, shifted blame to
Mexicans, Muslims, Blacks, and China for all our problems. Blame the
other (Jews), then there?s no need to blame ourselves. Instill a sense
of unabashed nationalism and people will uber enthusiastically follow
the Fuhrer.  (Big Brother- 1984).  Within 3 months the Nazi-led
Reichstag forced a bill through to give minority elected Chancellor
Hitler unlimited power.  The rest is history.

When the Munich tax office reminded Hitler in 1934 that he had never
paid any income tax and now owed them more than 400,000 Reichsmarks,
pressure was brought to bear and before long they had agreed to write
off the whole sum and destroy all the files on Hitler?s tax affairs.

The United States has much stronger institutions than Germany did in the
1930s, or Russia does today. Both Clinton and Obama in their speeches
stressed the importance and strength of these institutions. The problem,
however, is that many of these institutions are enshrined in political
culture rather than in law, and all of them?including the ones enshrined
in law?depend on the good faith of all actors to fulfill their purpose
and uphold the Constitution.
