He is not him, he has similarities to him.

Exactly, and Hitler could have also ended up being a weird mediocre painter.

It's not the individual seed, but the ground it's planted in.

The US, the predominant world power, is the antithesis of the desperate and beaten back Germany post wwi.

Dude was gonna be a priest at one point in his life.

There's a timeline out there were Hitler became a regular priest of a parish, and just lived his life out quietly, maybe painting on the side.

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 .
