I read the article and don't know enough facts to know how accurate and truthful it might be. However, what if you saw a Hitler-like person taking power? Surely it would be much harder today given the level of communication we have today?
- maxerickson 10y agoHitler took power (in part) by using radio and television to broadcast his message. It wasn't particularly sneaky.
- zardo 10y agoThe formula is pretty simple. "All good patriots are with me. Show yourself to be a good patriot by reporting enemy talk. When I'm in power, I will punish my enemies."

- AnimalMuppet 10y agoTwitter might be the up-to-date equivalent. Trump uses it better (more effectively for his purposes) than any other politician. In particular, his opponents don't respond in tweets, and so they are stuck with the speed of the regular news cycle - hours, not minutes. So Trump is always ahead of them.
