I just finished reading, ‘They Thought They Were Free’, First published in 1955, ‘they thought they were free’ is an eloquent and provocative examination of the development of fascism in Germany.”
–from Chapter 13, “But Then It Was Too Late” –
“What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, little by little, to being governed by surprise; to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if the people could not understand it, it could not be released because of national security. And their sense of identification with Hitler (Trump, Biden, Obama, Bush, Clinton, etc) their trust in him, made it easier to widen this gap and reassured those who would otherwise have worried about it.”–from Chapter 13, “But Then It Was Too Late” –In this book it states they too felt as if they were forced to vote for the ‘lesser of two evils’. Does any of this sound familiar to you? It sure does to me, as it does to Claudia too (grew up in Germany.) It’s hard to believe that I’m reading this… https://youtu.be/9OVUnzJJACc
