Ten years ago mentioning Hitler and the Nazis in a political debate was considered hyperbolic and in poor taste. And yet it seems that Mr Trump seems more determined than anybody to make comparisons to Nazi Germany apposite in the 21st Century. The problem is that Mr Trump has little to no interest in the wellbeing of his base. What is actually important is Mr Trump's image as the "man of the people", the man who has their back. But his base are already inclined to blame immigrants and liberals for everything, so those two groups will do just fine as scapegoats.
