    Hitler got into power after hyperinflation though, he wasn’t the one who caused it. It was the failure of the centrist government on the economy which led to the rise of the far right and far left in Germany.

      Yes, that’s the clown car part I was describing. That this administration is so obsessed yet unable to discern causality, that they’re like “hyperinflation gave Hitler power! Ergo, if I want Hitler’s power, there must be hyperinflation!”

        I think it’s probably more like they know that a destabilized government makes taking complete control easier. He has Musk and company dismantling all the checks/balances, and his economic yo-yo is working on crippling the masses financially, which in the end means less resistance when he moves against the courts with force instead of social media.
