Donald's deranged. Alas, that for many, is the source of his
appeal.
I'm aware of the numerous differences and the number of tiresome
comparisons but the last truly and fully deranged leader I can think of in the
Western world happens to be Hitler.
He was a man of many fantasies and delusions. And believed
them strongly. His utter madness was his strength. His ability to propound it
made converts.
A certain sort of craziness makes crazy seems sane, and
everything else otherwise.
Please don't remind me that the United States circa 2016 is
very different than Weimer Germany circa 1933, when Hitler came to power.
I get
that.
But I'll say if Trump is elected in November the gap between
Weimar 1933 and the United States 2016 will narrow more rapidly than you dare
to think.
