Literal Trump Derangement Syndrome. America has a comically horrendous president but remains fundamentally a liberal democracy… and Canada concludes “literal Nazis are a better choice”. It’s uncanny how much can be taken for granted :(

(American talking, who’s had multiple Canadian friends make this mind boggling overcorrection)

Weimar Germany also was fundamentally a liberal democracy. Hitler seized power legally.

Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it.

		The president of the United States has much to his dismay, been consistently legally constrained. The chancellor of Germany had significantly more power, both de facto and de jure. "Man with itchy butt wake up with stinky finger." As long as we're quoting maxims to claim authority for middling takes.
