I'm a Conservative. But, the first things that come to mind are Hitler, 1938. Think of the similarities, each ran relying on the "cult of personality.
What was Hitler's party called? National socialists, and Trump is calling for building a wall to keep Mexicans out. (nationalist) and has proposed single payer healthcare (socialist).
Both stand firm against opposition.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
