Was Hitler a Christian?

There's really nothing new about ideologues in the U.S. What's different this time is the traction Trump enjoys among such a large number of people. His rhetoric isn't all that different than Pat Buchanan's was, but he has poll numbers that Buchanan could only dream about.

It is new, in the sense that Americans, even during the Great Depression, didn't flock to the extreme right or left. There never has been a socialist movement in the USA to speak of and the Nazis, although existing, were extremely fringe. So this scapegoating bigmouth, and a significant number of people rooting for him, is indeed a new development.
