Former President Obama issued a stark warning against growing nativism in the U.S. and throughout the world at the Economic Club of Chicago on Tuesday, invoking growing complacency and the rise of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.
Obama told the forum's audience during a question and answer session that the danger at hand was "grow(ing) complacent," according to newspaper Crain's Chicago Business.
"We have to tend to this garden of democracy or else things could fall apart quickly," Obama said.
"That's what happened in Germany in the 1930s which, despite the democracy of the Weimar Republic and centuries of high-level cultural and scientific achievements, Adolph Hitler rose to dominate," he continued.
"Sixty million people died. ... So, you've got to pay attention. And vote."
Even if he did not mention him by name, we all know who Obama was talking about.
And it is time that he started to openly recognize what most of us have been talking about all along.
Donald Trump is a fascist and if not removed from office he will destroy this country.
We need people like Barack Obama and other leaders to start saying that openly and often.
Here is video of his speech.
