      Smart enough to have infiltrated a huge part of our government… Including the presidency…

          The Nazi’s were always dumb. Their economy was heavily based on stealing from the people they killed, and invading countries. It’s quite literally the shortest term planning in history. They invaded what, a dozen countries in six years? (Including their former ally Italy.)

          The same people who elected the Nazi’s elect these guys. Opportunists, and boot-lickers who think they’ll get to be the boot now.

      It’s an ideology characterized by hate, bigotry, and nationalism. They’re all dumb by default. Doesn’t mean they can’t do an enormous amount of harm anyway…

      I mean, they were kind of dumb the first time around too. That’s why they try to go for people’s base emotions and fears, to drag people down to their level of idiocy then beat the population with experience

      Hogan’s Heroes was a secret psyops program to equate Nazis with bumbling idiots in case the boomers (the youth at the time) ever lost it. That and lead poisoning.

      They’re the only kind.

      One of the reasons Hitler was never assassinated was that the allies wanted him alive so he could continue making terrible, self-defeating decisions.

        I’ve had people argue to me that Hitler wasn’t a dumbass and was quite smart. Like, no, he was a fucking moron, Trump being dumber is actually an accomplishment

        The Nazis were succeeding in spite of their figure head
