I guess the most prominent examples right now are Putin, who is on his best way to use fascism and democracy to make himself dictator for life and Xi Jinping who already did that and is currently enjoying his concentration camps for muslims. Then there is Bolsonaro who uses the extreme populism and martyrdom that Hitler would've admired. You got your President of the Philippines Duterte who couldn't be more authoritarian right if he tried. There are of course more in Africa. And all of them including Trump share that beautiful personality cult of narcissists like Hitler. Not saying Hitler invented the "narcissistic asshole dictator" trope but he surely popularized it to be enjoyed by many other pathetic narcissist all over the world. Turns out you can still be a terrible person even without the bonus of killing 6 million jews. For example by killing hundreds of thousands of your own citizens through a preventable virus. |
I'm no fan of any of those guys - including Trump. However, he's no where near as evil as Adolf.
Even if Hillary were president, instead of Trump, the US would still have 200k dead from the China virus. The American people don't listen to their leaders, they would rather flip them the bird.
