6 quotes by Hitler that Trump could have said
The indication of an imminent Donald J Trump presidency first came when copies of Mein Kampf, Adolf Hitler's autobiography, got a fresh lease of life and started selling like hot cakes roughly two years back. It was a sign, which many of us tried to not read much into.
But times have struck back, and how. Just like Adolf Hitler came to power riding a free and fair mandate way back in 1932 in Nazi Germany, the United States of America elected Donald J Trump in a spectacular display of of what Jairaj Banaji calls "electoral fascism". It's fascism couched as will of the people, dipped in democracy, throbbing with statistical omnipotence and is a force multiplier of the roguest forms of bigotry.
Every time Donald Trump said the words he said, full of hateful intent, he knew he was doing something right. He knew he could get away with it. There have been examples in the past, and Trump knew, power erases the stench it leaves behind in its wake. Nevertheless, Trump is here and it may bid well for us to remember these lines of Hitler, which, fast forward to 21st century, and you could have easily heard it from the president-elect of the USA.
1. If you wish the sympathy of the broad masses, you must tell them the crudest and most stupid things.
2. I'll put an end to the idea that a woman's body belongs to her... the practice of abortion shall be exterminated with a strong hand.

3. If you dont like a Rule... Just Follow it.. Reach on the Top.. and Change the Rule.
4. What luck, for governments, that the people are stupid!
5. Hate is more lasting than dislike.
6. Who says I am not under the special protection of God?
We need to deal with Trump by not forgetting what Adolf Hitler unleashed on the world. As Milan Kundera said, "The struggle of man against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting."
