Good luck, he would probably win another election today. Cant save a democracy where the electorate is stupid.

How do you think fascism arose in Germany? Was it a complex process set forth by the treaty of Versailles, embarrassment after WWI, rapid technological advancement by Germany, instability from the great depression, instability in the Weimar republic, etc...

Or do you really think fascism just comes out of the aether when somehow millions of voters become "stupid" all of a sudden?
