“George Bailey is a feckless, puritanical and self-serving tyrant, using his fellow townsfolk’s money – ineffectively – to impose his own morality upon them. The celebrated George Bailey is…saving townsfolk from their own selfish desires, such as for more housing or any viable nightlife.”

In about two weeks, Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine will last as long as the Soviet-German war lasted.
That war (called "the Great Patriotic War in Russian narrative) lasted 1,418 days.
The "special military operation" lasts for 1,401 days already.

If you wonder whether these comparisons of Trump to Nazis go too far, remember that Hitler was present in the German political scene long before he created the first death camp
And at that point, he was calling Jews “vermin”
