NaBloPoMo - day 08

I have nothing more to say about Donald Trump. The man manages to plumb ever greater depths, but continues to carry a huge appeal to sections of American society. Why? Because there are problems in the US that previous presidents have failed to address.

That is a signal for danger ahead. Winding the clock back to the 1920s and 1930s, when there were huge problems in post-war Germany. Finding the messiah (undercase intentional) that would solve and dispel all problems involved Adolf Hitler becoming the leader. The German word is Führer, by the way. The best way to avoid solving problems is to find somebody to blame.

Hitler's scapegoat: the Jews.

I'll have more to write about this in tomorrow's posting, for November 9th, the 80th anniversary of the Reichskristallnacht.
