    Trump is a cult that dies with him. That’s like saying no one should have killed Hitler.

        It’s not nonsense. It’s human nature. People are, in general, not different than their tribal ancestors from 300,000 years ago.

        The forces that create the environment for a Hitler to come to power are different than the personality cult that develops after the person is in power.

          When ever you see this, is guaranteed that whatever follows is baseless pseudoscience.

            Ah yes, evolution. The well known pseudoscience.

              Oh yeah, by all means, cite the peer reviewed biology papers showing that Great Man Theory is Evolutionary Biology, because, yes, “it’s evolutionary biology!” Is the number one catch phrase of people spouting baseless pseudo science.

                You setup the strawman that I claimed it was Great man theory.

                I specifically stated it wasn’t Great Man throry but you continue the strawman because you have no argument.

                A cult leader isn’t a Great Man as described by Carlyle.

                  No, what I said is that it is Great Man Theory. And it is.

                  But I’m putting that all to the side, I want to see the sources for your scientific claims before anything else.

                    I specifically said the forces that result in a Hitler aren’t the same as the cult that developed after the fact.

                    You want me to prove a negative.

                    As to the evolutionary basis of tribalism, I guess you don’t know how to Google “evolutionary basis of tribalism” so here are some links:

      Weren’t the allies putting off Hitler assassinations due to fear of him being replaced by someone more competent?
