Here’s a ray of hope: Hitler maxed out the credit cards *but* used it initially to ramp employment up to 100% very rapidly (from Depression-era levels of unemployment) as well as re-arming. He thus gave lots of disgruntled poor folk a stake in Nazism.
Trump's maxing out the credit cards again, but he holds his base in contempt and won't lift a finger if they're drowning. He's not trying to build a loyal base any more. He's walking on quicksand.
