Hitler, Mussolini and …

Bob Parks’ Sponsored Content in City Pulse (April 30) reconfirmed what I have been saying to friends for some time: What’s happening here in America now is a scary duplication of Italy in the 1920s and Germany in the 1930s. 

Hitler’s Beer Hall Putsch = Trump’s loss of the 2020 election

Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” = Project 2025

Hitler’s oligarchs = Musk/Zucherberg/Besos et. al. at the 2025 Inauguration

Now as to your all-too-accurate observations, one attributed to Edmund Burke comes to mind: “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”

So, what do we do now, boss?
