npub17aqgyjm4p8z9r42mpwkt45qln7sh4hr65z2gzwahgjtchr7vmsms8g3dh0 (npub17aq…3dh0) But it's to note that the pattern seen as Hitler rose to power in Germany — working-class Germans did not support him, but church leaders, educational leaders, media elites, business leaders, military leaders did so — is being paralleled in the US in some notable ways now.

To my thinking, the "they're idiots" explanation is far too simple and it's frankly condescending. It also lets those who keep making the malicious choice to support Trump, knowingly, off the hook.
