| Adolph Hitler's rise to unfettered power required Fascist propagandists too.. |
|
Eerily similar to how the Right Wing in America uses Rush Limbaugh and Glen Beckkk as Fascist propagandistas to help give rise to Right Wing/Conservative/Republican American style of Fascism.
Ronny Ray-gun once credited Rush with helping the Right Wing rise to power in America.
Rush Limbaugh, Glen Beckkk, Fox News are looking for the next Fascist leader that is electable in their minds. They will then shove that propaganda down the throats of their listeners in attempt to give rise of the election of the next Fascist leader of America.
Hitler did not rise to power alone.
Hitler used all available media to brainwash the German population and demonize his political opponents during his rise to absolute power.
Without the power of media brainwashing would Hitler ever have came to power?
That's why the Reich Wing in America has Rush, Beck, and Fox in full Fascist propagandizing mode.
The Right Wing needs it's media propagandists in order to rise to power in the same way that Hitler needed media to rise to power.

...actually made it to the 1930's in American or World History? Usually the semester ran out sometime between the Civil and Spanish-American wars. Those who don't know their histories are destined to repeat them (paraphrased.) :dunce:
