【双语文章】关键时刻：我们必须阻止特朗普 The moment of truth: We must stop Trump By Danielle Allen 关键时刻：我们必须阻止特朗普 作者：丹尼尔·艾伦 Like any number of us raised in the late 20th century, I have spent my life perplexed about exactly how Hitler could have come to power in Germany. Watching Donald Trumps rise, I now understand. Leave aside whether a direct comparison of Trump to Hitler is accurate. That is not my point. My point rather is about how a demagogic opportunist can exploit a divided country. 像任何成长在20世纪末美国的一代，我一辈子都困惑，为什么希特勒能在德国上台。看着唐纳德·特朗普的崛起，现在我明白了。先不说拿特朗普和希特勒直接比较是否准确。这不是我本文的观点。我的观点是，一个蛊惑人心的机会主义者是如何利用了一个分裂的国家。 To understand the rise of Hitler and the spread of Nazism, I have generally relied on the German-Jewish émigré philosopher Hannah Arendt and her arguments about the banality of evil.

The first shows itself, for instance, when journalists cover every crude and cruel thing that comes out of Trumps mouth and thereby help acculturate all of us to what we are hearing. Are they not just doing their jobs, they will ask, in covering the Republican front-runner? Have we not already been acculturated by 30 years of popular culture to offensive and inciting comments?
