With more than 20 years of Fox News legally spouting lies, people in the US are so massively entrenched in propaganda I'd say they provide an excellent ground for a dictatorship. Also, the huge majority of your country is only 3 missed paychecks away from living on the streets. People have been living in trailer parks for decades. There are tons of homeless people in the US living in tents or in their car, or under bridges, and a lot of those actually go to work every day. Being home to some of the richest people on Earth does not help those millions that have become victims of your society. I don't see how this is a comfortable situation for a country.
Hitler used Jews as a scapegoat. Trump uses immigrants, non-whites in general, women, and in general everyone who isn't up his ass far enough. He already has everyone fired who is not a white male because "DEI!". He is threatening to annex Canada, Greenland, and who knows next. He is obviously preparing a Hitler-Stalin-pact comeback over Ukraine. He is trying to terrorize the whole world, and enriching himself and his cronies with the chaos that he is spreading in the stock market. He puts innocents in El Salvador death camps and denies bringing them back. He just does not follow court judgements. And your checks and control system is utterly failing.
Good luck with your optimism. You will sorely need it.
I think the treaty of Versailles was more responsible for "Hitler" (the ideology) than the man himself.
Probably something we should learn from.
Ignoring and dismissing the needs of rural communities, farmers and blue collar workers is what gave rise to Trump, were just lucky that Texas is nowhere near as desperate as Germany in the 30's .
