Following the Authoritarian's Playbook Rufus O Jimerson

This book assumes from evidence presented that Donald J. Trump, once the 45th president, a pretending populist who is actually an elitist and plutocrat, used the Authoritarian Playbook (blueprints, etc., ) followed by Adolf Hitler. The book begins with comparisons that highlight ominous similarities. Afterwards, experts give their opinions regarding Trump's psychopathology, including psychologists and those who have studied Hitler and German fascism. Both are examined as sociopathic cult leaders with lethal results over time from first not being taken serious to crimes against humanity. But only so far, Hitler has held the reign of power long enough to create a holocaust with it mass murders of minorities. Their shared rise as white nationalists using strong-armed tactics is compared. The perusal pulls lessons Trump derived from the Third Reich to "Make America Great" modeled on "Make German Great" pushed by the Nazis. The research revealed highlights the disinformation, lying, and suppressing the truth used by both fascist tyrants. Then it narrows its focus to pre-existing racism and eugenics. It demonstrates that eugenics practiced in the 1920s and 1930s evolved into "herd immunity" to purge the "others" from the population. The is a biogenetic consequence of the pandemic, politicization of wearing masks, maintain social distance and super spreading to least preferred, vulnerable populations. COVID-19 is questioned as being a convenient eugenics tool that by function or on purpose a means to purify the population from undesirable populations (Blacks, browns, elderly, and disabled).
