Would the World adore Adolf Hitler if he was a live today, I say Absolutely.
Living in the day and age, one would think that no one would fan over an authoritarian type like Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini and dare I say our current president DJT. Many would say he is not like anyone of those men, who murdered people, true psychopaths. Although we have never had a dictator in the 21st century.
Looking at historical figures of yesterday like Jesus, how would society treat him, would be demeaned, despised and mistreated like many of those in our own country like the foreigner, the immigrant coming here for better life. Would people fan over Hitler for instance, although I would want to believe people who not accept him, sadly I cant believe it as I have seen today that he would very much be accepted but not by everyone.
Even during the time of Hitler, there were reports of well know people who sympathize with Hitler, which were shocking to discover these individuals.
Walt Disney
The assertion that the man behind one of the most famous and loved companies in the world harbored pro-Nazi sympathies is extremely controversial and somewhat shocking. However, there are reports that Disney was linked to a few events in the 1930s which were essentially US Nazi Party meetings. In the period before the war and the full atrocities of Hitler’s regime were known, there are smatterings of information that suggest elitist groups in the US and the UK held views similar to those of the Nazis, and Disney seems to have been one of them. In a book called Hitler’s Doubles, it is said that Disney was attending pro-Nazi meetings prior to the war.[2]
It is also known that Disney had hosted Leni Riefenstahl and gave her a tour of his studios. Riefenstahl was the director of Nazi propaganda films Olympia and Triumph des Willens. Disney’s company was criticized for this move. Disney would go on to create anti-Nazi films such as Education for Death: The Making of the Nazi, which somewhat muddies the waters. We will probably never know the true nature of his Nazi links.
Henry Ford
Henry Ford is an American pioneer who revolutionized the motor industry with the first assembly line for cars in the early 20th century, but some links exist between the man and the Nazi regime. In 1920, he gave an interview to New York World in which his anti-Semitic views were apparent, calling the “International Jew” a “threat” and accusing them of being behind World War I. The New York Times would also publish an article that suggested Adolf Hitler had a large picture of Henry Ford up on his office wall—in admiration of Ford.[4] This admiration is made clear when Hitler actually name-drops Henry Ford in his book Mein Kampf, calling Ford a “single great man” who “still maintains full independence” from the Jewish threat.
In 1938, only a year before Hitler would invade Poland, Ford was awarded the Grand Cross of the German Eagle, the highest medal possible for a person of non-German origin, with Ford being the only US citizen to receive the award. Ford’s name and collection of articles The International Jew was also brought up during the Nuremberg Trials after the conclusion of World War II as an influential piece of anti-Semitic rhetoric. Ford died in 1947.
Many would disagree that we have accepted a form of Hitler or that we would, but even today citizens look to marginize migrants, the disabled, Poor, the LGBTQ community and list goes on, as long as your white, then you would most like be okay.
I get we need to protect our boarders from bad actors entered, those who come into murder, rape and pillage our country, but there are many who are just here to work, support themselves and their family. Many would argue that is why we have laws in place, they need to come here legally and work the fields of our great nation, they need papers to cut lawns, scrub toilets and serve the maid as housekeeper and maids or to work in Constuction. I say B.S.
One the reasons, these thoughts come to mind, is even how the media embraces DJT, although yes he is often protrayed negatively in the news but for good reason, others may feel the media has been too hard on DJT and that is the reason he is the current leader of the free world by keeping his name in the minds of Americans and that I agree with, if the media had just shut the F*CK up about him, he probably wouldn’t be president today.
But back to my point of a recent meeting between Bill Maher and DJT, inspired Larry David, who published an essay in the New York Times titled “My Dinner with Adolf”.

Maher who had dinner with DJT gloated about his meeting with him , as to humanize him, to show the people that there is a good man in DJT, again I call B.S. There is no good in the man, in my opinion pure evil, hate, narcissism, a Liar, an adultress, a philanderer, a mob boss and the list goes on.
There will also be those sympathizers of autocratic figures, we will always have those people who want to supress people, their voice, wishing to spending society back to the 1700’s and beyond where women had no rights.
Even today, our own representatives go to oppressive countries meet with leaders who are actual dictators like those in Turkey with Erdogan’s, North Korea, China, Saudi Arabia, Putin of Russia and so many other autocratic countries DJT wishes to take notes from on brining it here and its possible.
Although we can’t fully compare the early 20th century to today, there are similarities in how society hasn’t learned its lessons. Despite America’s efforts to end Nativism and fight fascism, these issues still exist, yet people in the U.S. often fail to see them or choose not to see.
One of sources, who is both an expert on Autocracies and those dicators would be Doctor Ben-Ghiat, Historian of authoritarians, propaganda, democracy protection. NYU Professor. She wrote the book : Strongmen: Mussolini to the Present.
She writes a weekly blog through Substack called Lucid, speaking about the world in which we live, past and present and how history seems to repeat itself.
Another incredible resource that I often read and have followed over the years is Robert Reich, Professor, writer, former Secretary of Labor, author of The System, The Common Good, Saving Capitalism, Aftershock, Super capitalism, The Work of Nations. Co-creator of “Inequality for All” and “Saving Capitalism.” Co-founder of Inequality Media
Both speak highly the world we live in from different perspectives, for those who considered themselves conservatives, Alt right, then these who incredible people would probably be consider liberals, who want to fill the minds of people with liberal B.S. but they would be wrong, where in my opinion I found find the right’s attitude abhorrent, delusion , out of touch.
Look I am not saying you need to believe in the LGBTQ lifestyle or accept how a person chooses to live, but you do have to respect humanity and allow people to live their lives instead of trying to control the lives all in the name of justice. The current administrative wishes to make America Right and if you will not drink the Kool-Aid then you should be banished to a far land or better yet eliminated as they don’t want disruptors who go against government, and yet the Republicans are the party of the family.
I am not here to change your mind, change your values or make you change your belief system, that is something only you can do based on accurate information, my misinformation or disinformation which is rampant on social media like X, Facebook and Tik-Tok, where one doesn’t seem to do their own research today to validate the truth, something I have to do as an instructor and my natural brain needs to understand all the angles of information such as the sources, the validity of the source and if they are some nut, posting online.
For those who are reading this, you may think I have some form of DJT derangement syndrome, but with good reason and for those who are unsure of the definition, here it is:
Trump derangement syndrome (TDS) is a pejorative term used to describe negative reactions to US President Donald Trump that are perceived to be irrational and to have little regard for Trump’s actual policy positions.[1] The term has mainly been used by Trump supporters to discredit criticism of him, as a way of reframing the discussion by suggesting that his opponents are incapable of accurately perceiving the world.[2][3] Some journalists have used the term to call for restraint when judging Trump’s statements and actions.[4][5][6] The term has also come to be used to describe the nature of Trump supporters in their unwavering support of the president.
I am even growing sick of mention DJT especially in this post, but felt inclined to speak my peace that what the next four years will look like will be difficult long years and that many of the policies and executive orders and action done today will have irreparable damage to the government and the U.S. but that’s the point, while the people are focusing on what is happening in the current, the slight of hand is happening to that we do not see.
Let’s stay vigilant in these times that resemble a dystopian society often seen in Orwell’s 1984 to the likes we have never seen before, which is one of reason, my mental health it taking another dive in the state of this country, one I dont even recognize, where writing it one of my only releases to this insanity. Some would say not to worry, we are not headed towards autocracy, maybe so but barely until someone else comes along and takes us full dictatorship and then it will be too late.
I pray for the best, know we will not come out of this unscathed, the people choose and must live with the choice of what is now here and although it angers me that people rejoice at his arrival especially the Christian Right which are supposed to be my breathen, who say they love Jesus, but voted for a literal king, like those who wanted King Saul and look how that turned out, we have all been warned, over 2000 years ago, yet we did not learn our lesson then either, how stupid sheep we are.
