The evil things being done under him, disappearing of people, sending them to who knows where and what fate: he wasn't ordering this and didn't know about it.

Even when the evidence that they had followed a deluded, sick, evil madman was incontrovertible, many Germans found it difficult to admit they had been so dumb and so gullible.

Fortunately, after all that happened, many of us learned a valuable lesson, right — never to go down that road again?

Right?

After it was all over and everything was in ruins, many Germans found it hard to admit how deceived, duped, stupid, morally untethered they'd been.

They had believed God sent him to make their nation great again.

He was going to make Christianity and Germany manly again.

He had a secret plan, higher knowledge; even when what he did seemed crazy, there was a reason for it.

It would all work out in the end. He had it under control.

Some accounts of #Trump’s approach to #trade, …identify William McKinley, 25th POTUS, as inspiration. Others suggest that #Hitler’s Germany, which pursued an economic policy of self-sufficiency, or #autarky, may be Trump’s real role model. Wherever he got his love of #tariffs & #protectionism, the intellectual antecedents of his approach go back to English mercantilist thinkers of the 16th & 17th centuries, who also viewed trade as a zero-sum enterprise in which one side wins & the other loses.

@randahl Did you consider, that #trump does the damage tobthe #US people on purpose to create an environment like in 1933's #Germany. That was the way for #hitler to go. He may think, that a desperate people will follow him as the Germans did hitler. - Of course, if this is the "plan", it is flawed in so many ways.
