People talk about Hitler because he is the most important person of the 20th century. History ended with his death and politics began. Every political decision of Western world of the last century can pretty much be traced back to a reaction against Hitler and Nazi Germany or in preventing national socialism from ever occurring again. He was the Napoleon of his day. He gets talked about more because his actions still impact the present day. Gengis Khan is just history. Pol pot had no major impact on the Western world.
And the same things are happening with Trump and happened with George W Bush. They are just merely kickers to get people to just do things and talk about them, moreso with Trump. Nobody ever in their lifetimes, expected someone like Trump to ever sit in presidency, least twice. I may not ever like everything he does and say, but damn he's getting the world all wrapped up and buzzing over his every breath.

Even if he one day does die, his impact has already shook the core of the country he was president of. It's going to be lasting and something for modern generations to think of for quite a while.
 
I thought I just got done saying this, but Hitler was a pretty cool dude.

Hitler was just a normal person, the kind you meet in every pub or diner. Normal people tend to be boring.
 
Personally, I'm tired of JFK. I literally don't care.
 
I wish more dictators got screen time. Hitler and Stalin are brutal and all, but I want some wacky fun ones like Gaddaffi or the Turkmanistan one I am too retarded to spell the name of. Maybe Mobutu if you want an evil fashionable guy.
Turkmenbashi is a really interesting one, he basically turned Turkmenistan into a second North Korea. It's said to be the only Soviet republic that was actually more free under the USSR.
He did build a really cool capital, though.

The tower in the last photo has a statue of the dictator on top that rotates so he's always facing the sun.
 
We talk about Hitler because he and the Nazis were Snazzy Dressers with those Hugo Boss Uniforms.

That health walk he made wasn't a horrible idea. Naming bread after his mom was pretty wholesome. I don't care if Reddit ruined the word, wholesome is the best way to describe using your power to change the word for bread to your mom's name.
 
If it wasn't Hitler it'd be some guy named Steve and you'd be bitching about the same exact thing in the same exact way with the names swapped out. The specifics of "who" or "why" have ceased to matter decades ago.
