First of all, I just want to say that I really appreciate your posts – they are eye-opening and deeply important. Thank you for continuing to share them.

I’m currently reading Elisabeth, ein Hitlermädchen, a book written in 1937, and it’s chilling to see how people – especially young ones – were manipulated into accepting and even loving the Nazi ideology. The propaganda, the emotional conditioning, the promise of belonging and greatness… It’s all laid out so clearly, and disturbingly, in that text.

So when I see what’s happening today – the normalization of authoritarian thinking, the targeting of marginalized groups, the weaponization of language and data – it honestly feels like history echoing itself. No, Trump isn’t Hitler, but the methods are frighteningly familiar. And brushing off these comparisons just because they’re uncomfortable is exactly what allows history to repeat.
