    “What i want to hear” always wins over truth, even if the former makes absolutely no sense.

      I mean…to be fair, he did achieve all his promises. He got people back to work, making living wages.

      There’s just this HUGE astrict next to that statement that he did so by murdering millions of people, thus creating a demand for jobs. He also only counted German born white heterosexual males. Sure, unemployment was virtually nonexistant, but women, gays, mentally challenged, other races all were not included in the employment pool.

      And the jobs they held were manufacturing war efforts. Whether that was building tanks, making food rations, drilling for oil, it all paid a living wage, and they got to blame someone who wasn’t them.

      You ALWAYS have to look for the astrict. It’s like the terms and conditions of the monkeys paw.

          Dammit. I typed that, and then said “no…that don’t look right…”

          Then I typed “asterict”, and said “That don’t look right either…”

            I once got hung up on the word fire for a few minutes. My brain refused to accept that it wasn’t:

            Fi - Er

            It’s so much more logical, but didn’t look right, for some reason: Fier.

            Maybe I’m describing the time I unknowingly had a stroke idk.

        They did it by both stealing from the people who weren’t them and financial fraud.

        They also tanked the economy and had to go to war to stave off the impending collapse.
