4 propaganda tricks Trump learned from Hitler.
Fascist propaganda targets the dumbest of the dumb, because they're too dumb to know when they're being lied to.
Qanon “conspiracy theories” are fascist propaganda.
Fascists use lies as a weapon, to demonize minorities and incite hate and violence.
Fascist propaganda is designed to appeal to the dumbest of the dumb, because they don’t know when they’re being lied to.
Hitler literally explained that his lies are designed for dumb people:
“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
“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’s prejudice against Jewish people is widely understood and condemned today. But his parallel and rabid hatred of leftists is less frequently broached in popular discussions of the Second World War. Yet the two hatreds were deeply intertwined.
The scholar Robert Paxton has noted that fascism was distinguished specifically by “an anti-liberal, anti-socialist, violently exclusionary, expansionist nationalist agenda.”
In his book Mein Kampf, Hitler is obsessed with what he called “Bolshevist-Jewish” Communism. Hitler hated leftists because he saw them as Jewish, and Jews because he saw them as leftists.”
Were the Nazis socialists? No.
Hitler allied himself with leaders of German conservative and nationalist movements, and in January 1933 German President Paul von Hindenburg appointed him chancellor.
Hitler’s Third Reich had been born, and it was entirely fascist in character. Within two months Hitler achieved full dictatorial power through the Enabling Act. In April 1933 communists, socialists, democrats, and Jews were purged from the German civil service, and trade unions were outlawed the following month.
That July Hitler banned all political parties other than his own, and prominent members of the German Communist Party and the Social Democratic Party were arrested and imprisoned in concentration camps.
Nazi Concentration Camps
“In 1933–1939, before the onset of war, most prisoners consisted of German Communists, Socialists, Social Democrats, Roma, Jehovah’s Witnesses, homosexuals, and persons accused of ‘asocial’ or socially ‘deviant’ behavior by the Germans.”

Shit is scary........... Well done! We are on the ole fascism slide, I can't believe how far we have come.
