As I watch Trump's increasingly treasonous activities, I am reminded of A.J.P. Taylor's "Origins of the Second World War." He recounts all the occasions when Hitler's enemies, inside and outside Germany, missed opportunities to stop him until it was too late.
His enemies always thought that if they gave him a little more rope he would hang himself. By the time they realized that wasn't going to happen, Hitler was too powerful and his enemies were sucked in too deep to get out.
It's not a violation of Godwin's Law to observe that one thing Trump and Hitler had in common is extraordinary luck. Also, incompetent enemies when they were weak enough to be stopped at relatively small cost.
