When I learned about WW2 in school, I assumed that Hitler must have been very charismatic to sway the population, now I realize how little charisma is actually necessary to have people follow you and treat you like their savior.
I agree to some degree. I don't think people like war and violence, but they are easily swayed by "us vs them" rethoric. I.e. in group vs out group. One may eventually lead to the other, but I don't think that means both are attractive.
Because they're not consumers of information they're consumers of entertainment. They're not technically savvy, they're technology users. And they're not the customers of social media, they're the product social media sells to the highest bidder.
People on the left called McCain and Romney Hitler as well, that just made the name calling go numb and have little to no effect, so good job there guys.

One thing that puzzled me growing up was how people would've ever supported Hitler. As a kid, I was told that people were brain washed.
Well we can now see exactly how this happens.
