talks about how the people were hungry and out of work and Hitler promised them food and work.

They were desperate. I am sure a good many might have been racist or disliked the jews, many I am sure were jealous of how smart and well off many jews were, why they delighted in taking their possessions and homes.

When people are in crisis they don't think rationally.

I firmly believe Trump is causing chaos, fear, lack of jobs, financial stress, etc to make people more dependent on him and his ways. I heard he keeps Hitlers book by his bedside, he knows how he did it.

I believe one of the reasons he won is many believed he would lower grocery bills and taxes. He learned from Hitler all you have to do is promise and win, then you have the power to do what you want.
