Story of the Year 2016: “Donald Trump Madoff with the American Election after borrowing a page adolph Der Führer’s, ‘Make [your country’s name here] Great Again’ playbook”
Nobody but the National Inquirer, it’s enlightened readers, and pre-WWII Germany would have predicted the outcome of what was probably one of history’s most bizarre election campaigns.
Here is an excerpt from the page that was borrowed adolph the above-mentioned playbook:
“… with a population suffering from poverty, misery, and uncertainty, amid increasing political instability… In his speeches, Hitler offered the Germans what they needed most, encouragement. He gave them heaps of vague promises while avoiding the details. He used simple catchphrases, repeated over and over. His campaign appearances were carefully staged events. Audiences were always kept waiting, deliberately letting the tension increase…Hitler began each speech in low, hesitating tones, gradually raising the pitch and volume of his voice then exploding in a climax of frenzied indignation. He combined this with carefully rehearsed hand gestures for maximum effect. He skillfully played on the emotions of the audience bringing the level of excitement higher and higher until the people wound up a wide-eyed, screaming, frenzied mass that surrendered to his will and looked upon him with pseudo-religious adoration.
Hitler offered something to everyone: work to the unemployed; prosperity to failed business people; profits to industry; expansion to the Army; social harmony and an end of class distinctions to idealistic young students; and restoration of German glory to those in despair. He promised to bring order amid chaos; a feeling of unity to all and the chance to belong. He would make Germany strong again; end payment of war reparations to the Allies; tear up the treaty of Versailles; stamp out corruption; keep down Marxism; and deal harshly with the Jews.”
