Hate and division works best when the population is scared which regretably doesn't take much to accomplish. They will then welcome strawmen to attack while you surreptitiously rob them blind when they aren't looking. It's no secret that Trump admires Hitler as he possesses the same type of instincts as the equally narcissistic former German Fuhrer. An important difference however is that Hitler was considerably more cunning and astute than the hapless simpleton that is Trump.
After general Kelly called him a fascist, Trump said he would like to have the kind of generals Hitler did while conveniently omitting or forgetting that some tried to have him assassinated because they knew he was a dangerous lunatic.
There are other parallels of course such as using minorities as pin cushions for what ails the country. In Germany it was the Jewsish people and anyone who didn't fit the ideals of the Ayrian race including homosexuals or anyone else they deemed to be a deviant. Small wonder that Magnus Hirschfeld's library was torched along with his books.
Plus ca change....
