Well, you're nto completely nuts. It is an interesting fact that Hitler rose to control the Nazi Party, which was pretty much just a right-wing Socialist/Populist bunch of ne'er-do-wells and political amateurs before he took it uptown, because all the other power guys in it thought they were using him as a tool, but ultimately found out to their chagrin that they had been quite wrong about who was the oyster. There are certain parallels to the present situation, no matter how inflammatory an analogy to Germany in the 30s might be.
