Talk about getting it backwards!
I will say this in terms of the right-wing takeover of pre WWII Germany to
today's situation in America:
Hitler never won a popular election. He was stymied by democracy but the
confused Hindenburg gave it to him on a platter. He "legitimized" himself to
the main street Germans by media propaganda but also, on the streets, by force
of bluster, pageantry, threats, and thuggery. The right-wing reserved murder,
torture, medical experiments, starvation, and false imprisonment in general
for those most hated, numerous though they were.
Today in America, the right-wing Republicans and the news media are in the
hands of some extremely wealthy willful men who are determined to run America
without obstacle. They have not been able to achieve their desire in full
even with the eager help of the news media and so they have turned to an
impeachment campaign. This has involved several people (including Starr,
Tripp, Goldberg, and the respectable portion of the news media) but it is
orchestrated by creatures like Richard Scaife. One can only hope that the
coup which was only partially successful in 1963 will not now fully succeed.
