Yeah, I don't really agree with this statement. I do agree that a good portion of the voting public could be considered gullible or ambivalent or uninformed, but saying they would support a candidate who has ties to radical muslims in this day and age if he/she could give them a better life? Banking on a thought that in this day and age that Hitler could do well politically in this country just because people would be stupid enough / gullible / greedy that they would consider mass execution if it helped them in some way? I find that hard to fathom. I'd like to think that America is stronger than that.
The point is that Hitler did not stand up and say support me and I will kill the Jews. He did not come across as hey I'm evil but I can help you. If he had he would not have gotten the support he did. He just said I can help. It was a gradual process of placing blame on the Jews and then telling them he can help make a better life for them. After he had the support of the country and started his genocide on the Jews noone would go against for several reasons, a few of which are: fear, loyalty, and gratefulness. The people were like so what if he kills the Jews he made a better life for me and my family. Sounds alot like the mentality of people today. It's all about what I can get for me, who cares about others or even the overall good of the nation. This is why most of our government has been bought and paid for by big corporations. The ideals have been misconstrued or no longer exist.
