It seems that the MAGA movement is earily similar to what I learned about the Nazis before Hitler took office? Like blind obedience and hatred toward certain groups? Or am I wrong? Why? (lemmy.world)

You know, for this whole election cycle, many, many people have been commenting on the parallels between Trump/MAGA and the rise of the Nazi party. It hasn't just been people on social media, there have been lots of well cited articles. Take a look at this Guardian piece from the summer.

So yes, the parallels are so significant that it makes people wonder if it's coincidental or a playbook.

In your honest opinion do you think he will try to get rid of voting so he can remain in power like Hitler did?

Absolutely. If Trump dies till then someone else will just take over. America wont have free elections for decades to come.
