I was making calls for Kamala yesterday and one of the people in the Zoom room noted that TrumpтАЩs supporters pick out what they like about him, and ignore (or repress) the rest.
Christopher Browning wrote this in his recent NYR article, тАЬHitlerтАЩs EnablersтАЭ which reviewed several books on how Hitler came to power. It describes for me what has happened in this country as well:
тАЬThe lost war, [WWI] revolution, unjust peace settlement, economic chaos, and тАШhuge social and technological changeтАЩ were so intolerable that they led to a rejection of reality by many Germans. And they supported Hitler because he gave тАШvoice to this flight from reality as could no other German politician of his time.тАЩ This тАШhostility to reality translated into contempt for politicsтАЩ that in turn destroyed the тАШminimal common groundтАЩ that democracy needs to function.тАЭ

They WANT to believe him. They want a "strong man" to fix everything for them.
Right. Life is too hard and confusing, and IтАЩm too tired to thinkтАФif I ever knew how to begin with.

At 93 I can remember all you
have pointed out even though I was a child and my
Birthday is тАЬD DayтАЭ!!!!!
Maybe loudspeakers in every corner of our confused land would help to

Ouch. That is so very spot on...
тАЬHeтАЩs better on policyтАЭ or some such empty parroting.
But they can never tell you what the policy is.
