There was a lot going on in Germany, but I’m not here for a full history lesson.
I just want to repeat a quote that I heard while studying the German language many years ago. This is not an exact quote, but this was the gist of it: “Hitler was just a funny, ridiculous little man. No one took him seriously, but he was very entertaining.”
This haunts me because a) Hitler and b) for a long time I’ve felt like Americans tend to elect the biggest joke or novelty candidate on the ballot when it comes to president.
The two exceptions I would see in the last 40 years are Bush 1 and Biden. Bush rode in on Reagan’s coat tails and lasted one term. Biden is the inanimate carbon rod who has been running for president since 1987 and finally got his chance.
Perot was definitely more of a joke than Clinton but I get your overall point.
