How did he do it?

 

how did Hitler do what he did?
did he tell the people the truth?
no...
he pitted the people against each other...
he lied about this group and that group...

he was pretty good at it...
its called propaganda...
lies...

he took their rights away...
one by one...
it was good for the cause...
he got their guns...
their freedom...

educated the children in his likeness...
and one by one...
they all became his to do as he wanted...

he ran the schools...
he ran the papers...
he told tales...
and they believed him...
because why would he lie?
 
once he got them where he wanted them...
he ruled with an iron hand...
sent those he hated most to concentration camps...
gas chambers...
just like sheep to slaughter...

he took the children and put them through horrible scientific experiments...
how many lives did he ruin?
how many souls cried out to God?

I remember in school thinking, well this could never happen now...
we are smarter now...
more informed...
there's no way anyone could fool the public like that again...

how did we give so much power to so few?
how did that happen?

same way it happened before...
we looked the other way...

praying for those who cannot see this...

You are so correct, I am very worried about the power grabs going on in our country today, as many Americans readily give up their freedoms. That affects all of us. It is sort of like "getting pecked to death by ducks".
