If I were living in Weimar Germany, I might
be tempted to give a “strong horse” a whole
lot of leeway in getting my country out of
the mess Versailles forced it into.
Of course it was a far-left DemonKKKrat behind the Versailles treaty that set up the conditions for WWII. Woodrow Wilson and his commie stooge, William Jennings Bryan, wanted to see a more powerful Soviet Union attain world domination. The dream of DemonKKKrats has always been a "worker's paradise" adhering to the vision of Karl Marx. And now, a century later, we see hussein following the same path as he seeks to enable a worldwide caliphate.
Okay, but once you found yourself at war with the US, the UK, the USSR, and a large part of the rest of the world, you might have to start believing that your leader had miraculous powers. By that point, the alternative would be too grim to contemplate.
Yeah well it’s that kind of thinking that led the most industrious and civilized nation in Western Europe to put a war-mongering, antisemitic, shrieking Austrian misanthrope in power and led to a six year cataclysm humanity barely survived.
