Comment on The Oligarchs Who Came to Regret Supporting Hitler

Hitler addressed the assembled corporate elite, warning of the dangers of communism and trumpeting his appointment as chancellor as a “great victory” that he saw as a mandate for radical change.
Gee, I wonder who else I can think of whose “great victory is a mandate for radical change”.

Hehe, we here all already know. We knew it even before he ran for president the first time. He has literally never hidden it, he says out loud his favourite book is mien kampf, his favourite people are dictators, he has specifically said he admires the way they do things. The only time he denies it is when he has to compulsively lie about it because someone asked him a direct question. If no one is talking to him and he is just freely ranting, basically everything he says aligns with nazi ideology.
His compulsive lying somehow seems to throw off his followers, or gives them the ability to pretend they don’t feel the same way as him in public and cite all his lies as the reasons they really voted for him… either way.
