I think it is fair to say that the more apt analogy — in his opening minute or so — might well be the burning of the Reichstag, as the Nazi Party used the fire as a pretext to claim that communists were plotting against the German government, which made the fire pivotal in the establishment of Nazi Germany. Moreover, Jews might correctly point out that six million haven’t died, here — so it is unfair, to invoke the holocaust — in the same breath as Wednesday’s sedition.
I will say though, Arnold’s more generally-made points are good ones.
Additionally, I do appreciate that he takes responsibility for the pathos that was post-war Austria. And he is right, that the slope is a very slippery one, from democracy, to chaos — on to totalitarianism. It is over seven minutes long, but well worth the watch time.
[He may be making a bid to be the 2024 candidate, in a “reformed” Republican party. But I’d never vote for him, based on his record as California Governor; even so, he does make solid points here.] And if it changes even one rabid Baby-T supporter’s view… it is a worthwhile effort.
As sad as the story of Arnold’s childhood is — and there still remain ten or so dark days ahead — I remain, in turn… filled with optimism, for America’s future, post the dotard.

Powerline Lies... 
Immigrants from dictatorial socialist/communist countries have been trying desperately to wake Americans up. It’s too late. We’ve lost the soap box (media), the ballot box (stolen elections), and the jury box (courts). There’s only 1 box left – the cartridge box – and the tyrants are coming for that box under the color of the contrived Reichstag fire at the US Capital.

I have more faith in… us, than you.
The fair winner of this election takes office in about nine days.
He is no dictator. He’s an American who understands our grand and imperfect experiment.
The ship is righting itself, as I type this.
So we will agree to disagree.
Watch these next four years.
Cheers.
