    It shouldn’t but it does still baffle me how Trump is so consistently pulling from the Hitler playbook while still having as many people that do deny it

    clarifying

    I understand that there’s a subset that support him because of that (even while denying it) but I still think (hope) that the majority of them truly don’t like what Hitler did

      I think the majority of supporters “don’t like what Hitler did” in that they understand that liking Hitler is socially intolerable, and not much else. They either literally can’t make the connections because they’re dumber than dogshit, or they’re deliberately misrepresenting themselves to avoid criticism and shame.

        I don’t love “dumber than dogshit” to describe a group of people, even Trump supporters. It places blame and denigrates those people while giving a pass to the environment they grew up in that gave them indoctrination instead of real education.

          I wrestled with this myself, but no longer. Some of them, a lot of them, are really that dumb. Yes, some were indocrinated and have environmental factors, but they may have inherited the brain cell count as well.

          At this point, what will wake them up? They’re fine with the racism and evilness, what will make them take a look at themselves to make them wonder if the person they worship is a conman?
