Wrong Hindenburg I think, although this one crashed and burned just as badly: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_von_Hindenburg
I'm not sure who's supposed to be whom in this analogy, maybe that some other Republican is supposed to be Hitler?
Oh and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laches_(equity) ; no comment on whether that's actually relevant or what happened.
Edit: so this is fun, https://twitter.com/Elaijuh/status/1347205394393927697 Trump campaign lawyer throws him under the bus "“client has used the lawyer’s services to perpetrate a crime and the client insists upon taking action that the lawyer considers repugnant”"
I don't know what "Laches" is? Besides,
>> Evidence was never actually heard in any courtroom
Well, that is a lie, many of his cases were thrown out due to lack of evidence and lack of witnesses willing to actually testify to anything. Guess where does that happen? In a courtroom. Where a judge looks at the case and decides whether to proceed with it or not. So all of these cases had their time in court, to say otherwise is just a lie. You, like many other people, seem to operate under the assumption that you first start a case, everyone gathers and then you present evidence. That's not true, at least not in the US it isn't. Evidence has to be presented when you file to open the case, and since there wasn't any, judges have dismissed the cases. Why would they continue? So they could gather in an empty room listening to...nothing? Evidence can be admitted to the case later, with the permission of a judge, but you can't just start a case with nothing in the first place, which is what Trump and his team were doing.

>>But continue to dismiss, continue to ignore
Well, thanks but I won't, I think people trying to steal an election should be in jail, so my wish for 2021 is that we see trump and his cronies where they need to be - in prison. Either because of the election, or because of his many other crimes, I'm really not going to be fussy about it, he's done enought to spend rest of his life behind bars, attorneys everywhere will have enough to bring him to justice.
>>Trump was just Hindenburg
Hindenburg represented the complete collapse and end of the entire airship industry, it has crashed and burnt and with it the entire trust and reputation these ships had. And it crashed and burnt because people in charge of building them wilfully ignored the dangers of building flying ships filled with explosive gas.
So yeah, I think this is a very apt comparison to trump - just probably not in the way you intend.
