Jan 6 Committee hearing highlights similarities betw that insurrection & a beer hall putsch of 11/09/1923, in Munich. But a fair & balanced view reveals differences between the leader in Munich in 1923 & trump so significant as to make similarities unfair & meaningless. 1/4

1) Hitler wrote a bestseller. trump had to employ a ghost writer; 2) Hitler was in the black $-wise (from book sales) when he took office. trump was hundreds of millions of $$$ in debt; 3) Hitler didn’t dodge the draft (did he have bone spurs?) But enlisted for WWI & earned medals. 2/4

4) Hitler won office w/a plurality. trump never won popular vote; 5) Hitler liked dogs. trump’s never had pets (other than Giuliani); 6) Hitler had 1 testicle. trump, around Putin, acts like he has none; 7) Hitler was convicted/sentenced to prison 4 treason. trump has no convictions, yet. 3/4

Although trump is a joke, the coup d’etat that almost occurred on 01/06/2021 was no joke. I’m Mark Small: pro-voting rights, pro-legalization of drugs, pro-choice, pro-civil rts, anti-gun GOP candidate for Indiana House Distr 86. I approve of this blog. Hell, I wrote it. 4/4
