I want you to read the following quote very carefully, because it's a segment of President George Washington's farewell address from September 19, 1796 that literally predicted Adolf Hitler's rise to power in Germany a little over 100 years later...

"The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries which result gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual, and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation on the ruins of public liberty."

As I have already stated, history's mistakes are most likely repeated when they are ignored.
