Juan Eduardo Alvear: Too many Americans are following a mad man

Regarding the violence in Donald Trump rallies: Is this what America will look like if Trump wins? It’s happening as it happened in Hitler’s Germany. We are heading there ...

Will this be the end of America? Where is Trump leading the nation? It seems like a horrifying future.

Next, after he wins, he will extend America’s borders. He will wage war against Mexico and even Canada. He will wage war against those kingdoms that do not support him. He will implement the dreadful final solution to the immigrant problem. Mass executions of millions upon millions, thermonuclear wars.

In the end, the same thing that happened to Hitler’s Germany will happen to us. Trump will hide in Australia while everybody claims he died by suicide, just like Adolph.

Who will be the owner of the USA after Trump leads this nation to its downfall, just as Hitler did to Germany?

Who will be the Trump’s allies while he makes the USA wage World War III? Which nations will be against us?

I don’t get it? Haven’t we learned from the mistakes of history? Why follow an authoritarian mad men? Has the U.S. gone mad?

Juan Eduardo Alvear, Merced
