  • He already tried to run for President before in 96. I truly believe even his run in 2016 was meant to be a loss - he was gonna get primaried out by someone more competent, or failing that, lose the general, and then he’d build a media network (since he registered a bunch of groundwork and trademarks for that) so he could be Glenn Beck 2.0 and scream about how The Liberals Made Me Lose. You can see it in his acceptance speech and how shitty everything was getting done in his first year - nobody expected him to win, he didn’t even expect to win, so he did zero work beforehand that would’ve been required if he won.

    Then he got a taste of the power and prestige and cult following he had, and decided the one thing he couldn’t live without was a mass of people cheering his name no matter what he did.










  • This is also pretty much incorrect. They might not have known specifics or scale necessarily, but if you read interviews RIGHT AFTER the war, pretty much everybody in German territory at least knew someone who had been dragged off to a camp, at gunpoint usually, and their house and possessions put up for auction literally within a week. After two or three of these, you get the message.

    They knew, by and large, that these people were not coming back. These concentration camps were outside Germany, but many, if not most, Germans figured it out for themselves. Many were simply willing to put it aside because Depression Weimar was like Revolutionary France, and people were willing to take the first strongman that came across and said “hey I KNOW how we need to fix this, and it starts with THOSE GUYS whose fault it all is”.

    The film evidence was for the core of the core of the empire - Berlin, Munich, etc, where your average citizen might’ve been afforded protection from the watching the nice Goldschmidt family marched out of their house, and for posterity so people couldn’t do what people in the US were already trying to do with the Native American genocide and chattel slavery.
