and the rise of the nazi's. There is one where they do re-enactments of actually transcripts from the Nuremberg Trails to show how this happened from the point of view of the nazi's themselves.

The best one though ok there are two and both are multi part programs. Don't recall the exact names. One was about how it happened using home films and the theme The world saw blah blah about Germany. But if you were German this was how it was. I think that one is on the history channel. The other one is on AHC and all these mental doctors and historians and various other experts literally go through everything about hitler.

And yeah, 2016 USA sure does start to look a like 1933 Germany. And on some levels orange man is similar to hitler. But I would argue that truth be told he is more like the deuce from Italy. Of course he could easily become more like hitler if given power long enough.

But orange man does at least right now appear to lean fascist. And the USA is sadly at a turning point. One that our conditions are rip for fascism to happen. And when it starts, it moves fast. We must be careful not to repeat 1933 Germany's mistake.

Still a very scary person. One that as soon as we can remove him from politics the better.

*updated to add this. I am also watching the same program on AHC
