"In 1934, Rudolph Hess uttered the famous words, "Hitler is Germany and Germany is Hitler."
Rudolph Hess was a longstanding personal aid to Adolf Hitler and deputy party leader of the Nazi party until 1941. He was the Nazi deputy fuhrer.
Hess's statement in 1934 that Hitler is Germany and Germany is Hitler encapsulated the totalitarian ideology of the Third Reich.
It was used as a propaganda tool intended to deify Hitler as the literal embodiment of the German nation and its destiny.
It was used to demand unconditional loyalty to condition the public to believe that loyalty to Hitler equated to patriotism.
And it was intended to erode democracy to justify the dismantling of the Weimar Republic's democratic institutions in favor of what was called the leader principle where Hitler's will was law.
For everyone who is getting tired of the comparisons of Trump to Hitler, or who believe that what happened in 1930s Germany cannot happen here, I've got news for you.
Not only can it happen, but it is happening right now under Donald J. Trump."
