…from law professor Matthew Finkin, who examines the legal mechanisms by which the Nazis consolidated power, with comparisons to Trump (as well as noting some importance differences).  Before Orban, there was Hitler, and it's worth paying attention to some of the unnerving parallels.

One "difference" is that Hitler openly ridiculed Western democracies and liberal values; Trump, by contrast, simply never talks about or expresses any commitment to democracy or liberal values (apart from occasional meaningless uses of the word "freedom").
