As a descendant of German immigrants, from college on I devoured histories of the rise of fascism to grasp how the cultured and educated democracy of my great grandparents could succumb so tragically. I never got it; I had an American's complacency that made Germans' complicity incomprehensible. Decades later, I do understand. Because it is happening here. Comparing Hitler and the Nazis to Donald Trump and his MAGA movement is of course fraught.

Congress is cowed; that’s one supposedly coequal branch of government down. But federal courts are proving more resistant to Donald Trump’s trampling of laws and the Constitution. Now, just two months in office, the president has all but crossed the red line — defying a judge’s order — that for more than two centuries has separated the rule of law in this country from its undoing.

On Jan. 20, Trump said "The golden age of America begins RIGHT NOW," not "it's coming." As for "exploding our economy," good job.

Column: Comparing Hitler & Trump is of course fraught. Trump’s world war is over trade; his lawless roundups of migrants & targeting of political enemies aim to deport or hurt, not kill. Yet parallels are plain, as a coming doc on Hannah Arendt shows. https://t.co/BMXTngmcD3
