His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit
a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy;
never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy
at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a
big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people
will sooner or later believe it.
Do you recognize the person being described here? Are you sure? No, it
is not that crude loudmouth who has been going around insulting everyone with
apparent impunity. It is the psychological profile drawn up by the OSS of Adolf
Hitler.
And yet ignorant people continue to support this man. He is still
leading in the polls of candidates for the Republican nomination. I am
beginning to worry.
