It is scary that Hitler basically did the same things and wanted to Make Germany Great Again.This is a trend in history. Whenever there's economist recession, a protectionist/nationalist/authoritarian element emerges. It's happened in many European countries, where a far-right candidate has suddenly been almost elected or actually elected. Canada even had this problem.
What was unique about Hitler was not how he came to power or that he came to power. Most politicians follow a similar path. The unique thing about Hitler (that Trump doesn't share) was the degree of his hate-mongering, control over the country, nationalism, and militarism. He was far, far beyond any viable candidate in a developed republic today.
It's also important to note that the "recipe" that created Hitler was much different than it is for Trump, and it's not just about the candidate himself.
Post-WWI Germany was a non-empire surrounded by empires. They were "oppressed" by the reparations they paid for WWI. They had high net exports, which creates the perfect conditions for a war machine (and which is why it's illegal for Germany to be too much of a net exporter today). And, among many more details, they wouldn't have been raised with values of multiculturalism, tolerance of immigrants, and anti-racism that Americans are raised with.
