    It’s funny because we have some of the cheapest gas in the world. We’d use any excuse to show our true colors.

    To be fair, Germany’s terrible economy in the 1930s was a huge factor in electing the Nazi party. Hitler campaigned on “work and bread”.

      For those worried about the price of food and the economy, don’t worry.

      Trump will fix it.

      Work shall set you free.

        It’s mostly fear based

        People vote for wannabe strong men, law and order shit, when they are scared

        And currently there are enough crises happening for people to be scared

        But fascism is always politics of fear
