That's pretty surprising, you'd think when they were fighting him they'd hate him most

Putin.
Sure, Hitler passed some of the first anti-smoking laws.
That doesn’t excuse all the other awful awful things he did.
Also his anti smoking laws failed as the war went on longer and longer.
That's better than expected. Or is it that low because the rest thinks he was actually great?
He wasn't. He killed Hitler after all
Pretty sure this election proves it's way more than one in five.
I mean he was right about some things. Course extremely few people are wrong about those things but every now and then simple arithmetic trips people up
1 in 5 cant see that far behind them.
Yikes. Very troubling.
They're about to find out.
Most will be too uneducated to comprehend.
He lost the war, and died committing suicide in a bunker as his capital city was under siege being demolished.
Seems like we could just focus on those facts to show how going like Hitler ends up.
One in five Americans is the monster...mean it's more than that I guess but ugh
When you look into Hitler with a kind of Devil's Advocate-ish no pre-bias approach, certainly some good ideas. Was for workers, abortion, prostitution, national healthcare, good minimum wages, women's rights,... But there's just some... just a few... a handful, if you will, that were maybe...maaaybe what could be considered psychopathic monstrously batshit insane ideas.
But, hey, plenty of people love the Christian god, and Hitler is somewhere between that guy and a Powerpuff girl, so no surprises for me.
The power of charisma over those apathetic to self-thinking.
Edit: Apparently we have a lot of God-fearing neo-Nazis here! Sorry, it was a joke, I'll just leave. No need to try track me down.
hides under the floorboards They'll never look here!
