Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
1) Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
2) No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
3) Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
4) No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
5) No AI generated content.
Content posted must not be created by AI with the intent to mimic the style of existing images

No he won't. I doubt we're ever going to learn from him and meaningfully improve as a society.
Oh he'll be a good example.
But I didn't say anything about how many people will or won't bother to try to learn from history.
Trump learned from history.
Hitler is unironically one of his favorite authors. He kept in his bedside table, a compendium of Hitler's speeches, during the 80s and 90s.
Knowledge is power, as they say.
Learn? No. But I guarantee you a bunch of his supporters one day will have "never supported him."
All OP said is he's a good case study of narcissism, didn't say anything about society learning not to emulate that.
