    I doubt it, and very few people actually read it.

    ..and fewer actually reach the end. One of the most boring books I've seen.

      In the event that he won a democratic election, yes, who wouldn't? Are you seriously suggesting that people are bad if they can't see the future? It's ironic that you invoke feelings of despotic leaders in order to shame someone into rejecting a democratic process.

      I think his point was: Hitler did win a democratic election too, it was later when he started to drive nuts and put the whole world upside down. But yes... I agree with the previous comment. This thema start to stink. It is time to move over and see what the future brings

          You had your humanity taken away by Trump? I'm sorry to hear that. I guess that locker room talk was in fact real and in reference to you. That must be hard to deal with.

          There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

                      Agreed, but it was a strong policy statement of the future if Hitler got into power. - removal of the Jews from Europe - the subjugation of Slavs and other Untermenschen - the right of the Aryan race to take lands away from the Untermenschen for Lebensraum. - revolution after power - rebuild Germany's military Certainly nobody in Germany should have been too surprised about how things turned out. It almost became required reading after 1933, and was given as a wedding present to all newly weds, but, by then of course, it was too late.

                                    Maybe. I am an American and I don't think it will affect me all that much. People read way too much into the campaign rhetoric. 90% of the stuff he said he would do as President, he can't do. The government has checks and balances for a reason. He can't do anything with taxes, he can't wake up one day and decide to launch nuclear missiles, he can't deport all of the people here illegally. It's just fear mongering to think he can and will do any of the stuff the media said he would do. He will find out once he is office that he can't actually do all that much just like Obama couldn't close Gitmo or implement universal healthcare or any of that other stuff he promised to do.

                                      Agreed, but it was a strong policy statement of the future if Hitler got into power. - removal of the Jews from Europe - the subjugation of Slavs and other Untermenschen - the right of the Aryan race to take lands away from the Untermenschen for Lebensraum. - revolution after power - rebuild Germany's military Certainly nobody in Germany should have been too surprised about how things turned out. It almost became required reading after 1933, and was given as a wedding present to all newly weds, but, by then of course, it was too late.

                                      We can all rest easy on the fact that the U.S. Constitution prevents Trump, or any branch of government, from accumulating the level of power and authority that Hitler did. Unless they find a way to throw out the Constitution, we don't have to worry about the U.S. turning into a fascist state like Nazi Germany. Now, have we set the country back about 50 years? That is the question.

                                        But this is not his fault, it is the system what is rolling down the hill without brakes

                                        M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

                                          Maybe. I am an American and I don't think it will affect me all that much. People read way too much into the campaign rhetoric. 90% of the stuff he said he would do as President, he can't do. The government has checks and balances for a reason. He can't do anything with taxes, he can't wake up one day and decide to launch nuclear missiles, he can't deport all of the people here illegally. It's just fear mongering to think he can and will do any of the stuff the media said he would do. He will find out once he is office that he can't actually do all that much just like Obama couldn't close Gitmo or implement universal healthcare or any of that other stuff he promised to do.

                                          Umm, technically, he can. As Commander and Chief of the military, he has control of the nukes and can, without the approval of Congress, engage in a military conflict for up to 38 days.

                                          Yes, he can. While he cannot change the laws, he can direct the manner in which they are enforced.
