Donald Trump, the New Führer

To continue with our political thread, specifically focused on ideological extremes, today, we will touch on a somewhat heated topic, the Trump effect.

If we go back a bit some history, we could go back in time to the last century, where the most important far-right regimes appeared in Europe from 1920-1930 in countries like Spain, Portugal, Italy, and Germany. The regimes of these countries, also known as fascists, were based on authoritarianism and expansionism. Francisco Franco in Spain, Benito Mussolini in Italy, Antonio de Oliveira Salazar in Portugal and Adolf Hitler in Germany shared some characteristics, such as xenophobia, militarism, and exaggerated patriotism.

And although we believed that this had remained in the past in the last decade, we have seen the birth of a new breed of leaders with the same or perhaps worse thoughts, cases such as Bolsonaro in Brazil, Uribe in Colombia, or the case, that concerns us Trump the United States.

President Donald Trump left us speechless when a few days ago while in Minnesota he praised the good genes of the city's population, a speech dangerously similar to that of the genocidal Adolf Hitler. In that same speech, he mocked refugees and attacked three black Democratic Congressmen.

Trump believes that there are superior races among humans and is convinced that his destiny is to be the leader due to his superior genetics, a faithful copy of Adolf Hitler. According to Trump, he does not need to study, read or consult anything with the experts because he already has all the necessary knowledge and an innate ability or a gene to instinctively know what to do.

"The Nazis used it to justify genocide, and today it is used by white supremacists and also the president of the United States to justify hatred," Halie Soifer, executive director of the Jewish Democratic Council of America, said.

There is no difference between Nazi thinking with their concept of racial hygiene that they practiced from 1933 to 1939. The regime of the Hitler promoted the Nordic race as its eugenic ideal and tried to give Germany the form of a cohesive national community that excluded anyone considered less valuable or racially foreign due to their heritage or genes. Public health measures to control reproduction and marriage were intended to strengthen the national body by removing genes from the population that posed a biological threat. 

The Nazis began to practice mass sterilization, an idea that Trump put into practice with the mass sterilization of Central American immigrants.

 "Indistinguishable from the Nazi rhetoric that led to the extermination of Jews, people with disabilities, gypsies, people from the LGTBQ collective and other groups." Steve Silberman, the historian of the Holocaust, said.

We are clear that Trump's vision of the world from the extreme right poses an unprecedented threat to refugees, immigrants and the most vulnerable minorities in the country and the world.

Let's hope this is not a government that lasts 1000 years, as Hitler expected his idealized Nazi empire to last.
