"Naturally, the common people don't want war, but after all, it is the leaders of a country who determine policy. It is always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it is a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders.
This is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country."
Hermann Goering Hitler's Reich-Marshall at the Nuremberg trials after WW II
I'd heard this quote before but had forgotten the wording. It is, sadly, a reflection of the thugs I call the republicans in the US.
It's really rather simple. The GOP repeats lies frequently until people believe that the lies are true.
They say BO is a foreigner; it's a lie but the less than bright Americans believe it. They say BO will take your guns away; it's a lie but the less than bright Americans believe it. They say BO is a socialist; it's a lie but the less than bright Americans believe it. They say BO is angry and divisive; it's a lie but the less than bright Americans believe it. They say BO is ruining the economy; it's a lie but the less than bright Americans believe it.
The current republican party are a group a racist fascists who are truly the ones who want to take away your rights and freedoms. They are the Nazi party and women and minorities are their Jews. What did they do to the Jews again?
