What Are You Going to Tell Your Grandchildren?

In October 2016, I went to Berlin to speak to the marketing staff of Mercedes-Benz. The night before my speech, I had dinner with two German friends, and the conversation inevitably turned to the presidential election in the United States. At this point, thirty days before the election, few people believed Donald Trump would win.

The very fact that Trump was one of the two leading candidates astounded us. My friends told me that they still didn’t understand how their grandparents’ generation could let Adolf Hitler come to power, and they saw direct parallels between Hitler and Trump.

They warned me, “If Trump wins, it will be 1933 for America.” What they meant was that before Hitler was Hitler, he was “just” a popular politician. He didn’t start killing Jewish people and invading countries on his first day as chancellor.

But the fear of losing followers and business were not a strong enough deterrent for me to keep silent, so I turned my Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and even LinkedIn accounts into political feeds—contrary to the wisdom of so-called social media experts.
