I’m reading “The Death of Democracy: Hitler’s Rise to Power and the Downfall of the Weimar Republic” by Benjamin Carter Hett and wanted to share this quote with you.

“These conservatives could have stopped Hitler in his tracks. Instead, they chose to use him, although the Nazi-conservative alliance was always an awkward one.”

Alliances can be useful. They can also be dangerous. Beware of alliances.

I first thought of President Trump and his Republican enablers, especially those in Congress. But it also applies to many other cases.
