Eventually I concluded that hate gets us nowhere,writes Davidof his fictional meeting with the Fuhrer.
I knew I couldnt change his views, but we need to talk to the other side.

He also said, A crazy person doesnt live in the White House.
Its just not as f**ed up as I thought it was.
That amused him to no end, and I realized Id never seen him laugh before.
Suddenly he seemed so human.
Here I was, prepared to meet Hitler, the one Id seen and heard the public Hitler.
But this private Hitler was a completely different animal.
And oddly enough, this one seemed more authentic, like this was the real Hitler.
Healy then explains, Larrys piece is not equating Trump with Hitler.
It is about seeing people for who they really are and not losing sight of that.
