Remember when Trump said he loves the poorly educated?
He’s not joking.
Trump is following Hitler’s playbook step by step.
The Holocaust started with lies about minorities.
Trump is using exactly the same lies Hitler used to demonize minorities.
Hitler explained several times that fascist propaganda is targeted at the dumbest of the dumb, because they’re too dumb to know when they’re being lied to.
“All propaganda has to be popular and has to accommodate itself to the comprehension of the least intelligent of those whom it seeks to reach.”
Adolf Hitler
“The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous.
In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.”
Adolf Hitler
“In the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility. In the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods.
It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation.
For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying.“
Adolf Hitler
“The frailest woman will become a heroine when the life of her own child is at stake.
And only the will to save the race and native land, which offers protection to the race, has in all ages been the urge which has forced men to face the weapons of their enemies.”
Adolf Hitler
An important lesson from Nazi Germany: Dumb people are more dangerous than evil people.
Ignorance will destroy America like it destroyed Germany during the Nazi era.
