At the very least, this generation of school kids will no longer have to gape in disbelief as to how so many people were unwilling to believe Hitler's often repeated blood-curdling racist threats and so willing to con themselves into believing he was just saying them to help 'swing a deal' that would satisfy German demands over Versailles and placate its neighbours.
For they have the billionaire President-to-be Donald Trump before them : assembling the richest and most right wing Cabinet ever in American history, all the while claiming he is out for the ordinary six pack working stiff.
An American patriot --- or Putin's Poddle ?
Hard on the Chinese ---- or a willing-to-cut-them-a-sweet-deal Manchurian Candidate?
The Trump family has made it to the top by fabricating fake golfing and vacationing Potemkin Villages*, and by fabricating Fake News and Fake Political stances : fake, fake, fake : and a new generation of gullible parents and grandparents swallow it wholesale, in 2016 as in 1936 ....
*Scottish political boss Alex Salmond becoming his generation's Neville Chamberlain when he got down on his knees to swallow that particular Big Whopper.
