You are reinforcing.

I'm experimenting with the right wing mind set. It's a sickening feeling, really.
Okay, I'm done with it.

The Hitler thingy is tired and weak.

Not really, it was a costly lesson being forgotton and ignored.
A demagogue with easy simple answers restoring some mythical "Greatness" at the price of goodness. Early sucesses brought broad support, bringing overreach, exploitation, tyranny. Blank checks and internal conquest seizures of wealthy minorities helped fund the process until conquest and seizure of neighboring countries provided assets and proof of relevant "greatness". Then it all begins to unravel as even internal compulsory support dwindles markedly as external pushback becomes inexorably overwhelming and the host is obliterated.

It begins with an irrational demagogue and easy answers with unintended consequences if acted upon. Nobody can predict where it will lead in the end but "Greatness" is unlikely and fleeting, goodness would have been a worthy objective with a rational start.

Made me laugh out loud.

Yes, it was a costly lesson, the lesson cost 60000000 lives. I always hoped that all these victims died not in vain, being a reminder for what might happen if a perverted monster gets too much political power.

You left out the core characteristic of the Hitler regime. That is why Jews are often pissed when people invoke Hitler.

It was implied and well known scapegoating of the "others", just as now.
