    Hardly an if, that’s essentially what actually happened:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichstag_fire

    Fascists will always use a crisis to gain more power. If the Rechstag fire had actually killed Hitler, then yeah, it probably would have been a good thing. But in the end it didn’t, it just gave Hitler more power. This situation with Trump isn’t much different.

    Granted, hindsight is a big factor here. But I think I’ve made my point.
