(31,121 posts)There are not a "handful" of nazi's in America.
There are about 50 million of them the same way there were in Germany in 1939.
They may not wear uniforms or use the right jargon, but when the time comes to harm minorities, they will be on board.

(1,723 posts)Before a retired, quite some time ago, I worked in mental health, and with families and couples. It was with couples that I encountered some rather unsavory characters. More than once or twice, the boyfriend or husband had been in prison, or was likely to go there someday. Generally, they had been violent -- to a degree not known to me. One guy was using an identity he acquired from a grave stone, as I understood it. Another was (a white male) involved in Mexican drug smuggling. He claimed he could give the word, and someone in Mexico would get hurt, or worse.
The difference between these guys and Trump is that Trump is more of a con man. Trump is much more dangerous because he thinks big. And of course, his position as President makes him outrageously dangerous. It is extremely important that Trump is caught and prosecuted for whatever crimes he may have committed, and I strongly suspect there are several. My experience with inmates who were trying to warn teenagers and help them avoid serious trouble revealed that they had thought they were too good to get caught. They had started small, avoided getting caught, and then kept moving up to bigger and bigger crimes -- until they got caught. Trump has avoided getting caught. Assuming he has indeed committed crimes, he absolutely needs to get caught. He sure as hell needs to be removed from his current position.
