The Hitler salute is just the icing on the cake on a much bigger problem . No . It ' s not . Your comparisons are not sound . America is not chock full of Neo Trumpets waiting to crown the new president king . Anne Coulter is . If she calls him a king again she can kiss my ass . American not in the midst of a great depression , that has come within 7 years of the memory of the greatest hyper inflation the modern world has every seen , that has come after a World War tore the guts out of our society and left us with nothing . We are not Germany . We are not Weimar . American institutions are strong and stable and capable of dealing with a power grab . The American people cherish democracy and their liberties and enough of them aren ' t going down without a fight . We are still here , still free , and still capable of defending that freedom . You are fear mongering . You don ' t understand your own history , or American society . Stop it .
