57 million people voted to be Governed.

63 million people voted to be Ruled.

Never again will I question how the German people followed Hitler. The cult of personality is revived in a new century.

I often wondered that myself. Now I get it.

That is my conclusion, too. Before, I wondered HOW the Germans put aside reason to follow Hitler. The answer is clear now.

It really has its root in selfish pride. For the Germans it was nationalistic destiny and for the majority of Americans it is personal gain.

America's chickens will come home to roost.

They voted for Demagoguery, government dictation. Who knows if these fools will even get their fill. I see Obamatons rationalize all of his constitutionally unsound policies, they use Emotion to argue these policies, it doesn't matter if they are economically nonviable or blatantly unconstitutional.

When I was a child, I thought the same question as you have, How on earth? I heard many accounts firsthand of Hitler's natural affinity for scorching, grandiose, speeches and geometrically ostentatious march rallies, still, I wondered why people would accept such a Psychopath as a leader of government. Just as you have stated, now I know.

I'll take the words of a man who lived through such barbaric Communist government, and who helped propagate it worldwide. His supporters will not wake up until it is too late...

"A person who is demoralized (by Marxist/Leninist indoctrination) is unable to assess true information, the facts mean nothing to him. Even if I shower him with authentic information, with documents, with pictures. Even if I take him by force to the Soviet Union and show him concentration camps, he will refuse to believe it until he is going to receive a kick in his fat bottom. When the military boot crashes, THEN he will understand, but not before that. That is the tragedy of demoralization of a nation."

Yuri Bezmenov, KGB Defector, former agent in the propaganda wing of the KGB.

Ain’t it the truth? You grow up hearing about what happened in Germany, in a western, cultured, advanced, sophisticated society and you way to yourself WTF? How could that have happened? What were they thinking?

Now you know - wouldn’t have thought it possible but indeed it is.
