Nope. Took Hitler 53 days. Let's circle back on that statement in a few weeks and see if the government is still here or not.
But Trump has shown time and again that he is completely incompetent compared to Hitler!
But maybe he has better help, so we can't even rely on his incompetence anymore? 😬
Hitler was a fucking idiot too...
Hitler was extremely charismatic, an effective speaker and a clever politician. He was a terrible commander, compounded by his inability to acknowledge and account for that weakness, but in the run-up to the war and in the opening phase, he correctly estimated and effectively capitalised on the other powers' reluctance to fight another war.
In Musk and Trump, you can observe a similar phenomenon: the ability to hit the right notes with the right people in order to rile them up and seize the moment before their opponents manage to effectively rally and organise a resistance. Whether by blind luck, intuition or cunning calculation, their results aren't those of fumbling idiots. However idiotic they may seem to us, their success (so far) proves they got something right.
But the story isn't over yet. If I'm wrong and they do end up fumbling their big chance, I'll happily rescind those words. But as it stands now, I'd rather not underestimate their cunning.
Born on third base, both of then. Let's see them get any power without having been born wealthy white men. Their "cunning" is starting with enough money to not be ruined by their failures.
Hitler apart from being an idiot was insane and extremely superstitious.
Like Trump he was ruthless, but the real difference is that Hitler was politically adept and efficient, Trump is not.
What he has this time is no "adults in the room" to act as guardrails. He's surrounded himself with sycophants and yes-men, so there's nobody to stop him from flailing randomly and breaking shit.
I wish there was a remind me bot :(
