How did the Nazis gain power in Germany?

That’s an amazing, if terrifying mini series that I finally watched earlier this year.

Similarly, Umberto Eco's "Ur-Fascism": http://www.nybooks.com/articles/1995/06/22/ur-fascism/

Is it a book version of Goodwin's law?

Let us know the equivalent of the Beer Hall Putsch or the Reichstag Fire. And Trump did win the election.

The 1953 short-story "Mr. Costello, Hero" by Theodore Sturgeon provides a fictional example of someone using the fear of difference to gain control of other people (although in response to McCarthyism, a brave thing for an author to write at the time).
