'Timothy Ryback is author of the new book [Takeover: Hitler’s Final Rise to Power....Ryback also draws parallels between Hitler and former President Donald Trump: both tried to overturn a presidential election, and both promoted hateful rhetoric against immigrants, among other similarities....Trump once said, “I need the kind of generals that Hitler had.”....Ryback also makes comparisons between U.S. politics and the Weimar Republic of 1932, including polarization in the press, gun violence, and fistfights...'

My words: I think many of us have seen the parellels between Trump and Hitler for awhile now. It's no secret Trump admires dictators. The fact that he kept a book of Hitler's speeches by his bed-side is well-known. I think it's safe to say, he plans to become America's first dictatorial President. The time of reckoning is here. Each American has a choice to make. I hope we find the strength and courage, each in our own way, to RESIST.
