      Adolf Hitler said he had solutions to all these problems. Screaming his threats and boasts, he could seem insane to outsiders, but he was saying what his audiences wanted to hear. He promised jobs, better living conditions, restored power and pride for Germany, and suppression of communism and other political trouble-makers. He also attacked Germany’s Jews, saying they were responsible for Germany’s defeat in the war.

      Despite his growing support, some had a hard time taking him seriously. Hitler’s boasts that Germany would regain power sounded so fantastic, it kept the world laughing for a few more years.

      They’ll still say this even though he clarified that he wasn’t joking.

      The sanitation of his tyrannical insanity is infuriating.

      They never actually cared. They want a WWF villain to make a new big story they can all watch because they’re dumb and don’t understand politics and we gave them the country.
