Trump's Reichstag?

On February 27th 1933 Van der Lubbe set fire to the Reichstag Parliament building in Germany.  This action, coming only four weeks after Adolf Hitler had  been sworn in as chancellor, opened the door for Hitler to take sweeping action to stabilise his position.

Van der Lubbe was born in the Netherlands, his parents divorced, his mother died when he was an adolescent and he moved in with his half sister.  A few years later the teenager being naturally very strong found work on a building site.  While there he became interested in the Labour movement and became involved in Communism.  An accident with lime almost blinded him and he found work difficult, though his interest in communism did not ease.  He worked among the unemployed to support the movement. 

For reasons unclear Van der Lubbe, who had been involved in other minor arson attacks, found himself in the Reichstag late one night setting it ablaze.  The blaze spread quickly and totally destroyed the building.  The police soon found the culprit who had not escaped and took him to court.

Adolf Hitler was delighted.

With Lubbe's admission of being communist Hitler arrested the leading Communists at the time, and thousands of others, real and imaginary possibly, were also taken in by the police.  Thus at the next elections soon to follow a vast number were unable to vote or put forward their case.  In this manner the Nazi stronghold was created and after announcing an emergency order, civil liberties were removed.  Hitler had complete power as dictator from this moment on.

Van der Lubbe was tried, found guilty, and executed.  

Whether he was working alone, whether others were behind him, or indeed whether Hitler himself had found a way to put the arsonist up to this cannot be proved today.  However, this action led to Adolf Hitler's complete control of Germany.

Many are asking, is the death of Charlie Kirk Trump's Reichstag moment?

His dementia led statements are often senseless, but he is asking his justice secretary to arrest people who speak against him.  The democratic niceties of the USA are now being pushed aside for a mentally ill, spoilt brat, seeking vengeance on any who speak the truth.  The Reichstag fire destroyed Germany, will Kirk's death lead to the destruction of the USA as we know it?
