Okay I know you said this nine days ago but I'm scrolling down and you said the H word and we've talked about this.

Hitler didn't "get thrown in prison to become a martyr" - the Beer Hall Putsch was a legit attempt to overthrow the government with over a dozen killed. Hitler ran like a bitch - he wasn't at all interested in martyrdom. I wrote this September 1, 2020 and I wouldn't change a fucking word. I have been shouting down "Trump is Hitler" idiocy since fucking 2016 and I HAVE YET TO BE WRONG. Trump isn't Hitler, will never be Hitler, does not vaguely fucking resemble Hitler and is our own sort of miserable badness that deserves consideration in a framing of something other than fucking Weimar Germany.
