... and thank you Lawrence O'Donnell
for airing this:
“Please stop it with voting for Trump,” Lewis C.K. writes.
“It was funny for a little while. But the guy is Hitler. And by that I mean
that we are being Germany in the ’30s. Do you think they saw
the sh-t coming? Hitler was just some
hilarious and refreshing dude with a weird comb-over who would say anything at
all.”
If you are a true
conservative. Don’t vote for Trump. He is not one of you. He is one of him. Everything you have heard
him say that you liked, if you look hard enough you will see that he one day
said the exact opposite. He is playing you.”
C.K. added, “Trump is not
your best. He’s the worst of all of us. He’s a symptom to a problem that is
very real. But don’t vote for your own cancer".
So,
what did Americans think of Hitler when they first met him in the 1920s
and 1930s? Some of them burst out laughing at his shrill voice and jerky hand
movements and refused to take him seriously.
However, some of the first people who met
him did take him quite seriously. Truman
Smith, who was a junior military attaché in the 1920s, came away from meeting
Hitler and said, "This is a marvelous demagogue who can really inspire
loyalty." It was the same with Karl von Wiegand, a Hearst correspondent
who was the first American journalist to interview Hitler back in 1922. He was
struck by Hitler's oratorical skills and his ability to whip people into a
frenzy.
