It's funny that the Nazi Party was literally the National Socialist Party Of The German Worker.

Of course they were neither Socialist (quite the opposite) nor stood for workers (quite the opposite).

I describe it as "funny" because in the US, the Democrats, whose President has literary said he is a Zionist (I.e. a supporter of the latest variant of the Nazi ideology) operate almost entirely based on the very same principle of claiming to be one thing whilst acting as the opposite.

The very field that allowed Trump to rise with his hypocrite populist speech has long been plowed and fertilized by Democrats relying on sleazy lies and half-truths and turning the Press into their Propaganda Spokesperson to get away with representing their voters less and less: people stopped trusting a certain kind of slick stories and a certain Press promoting misleading statements and deceitful portrayals in a serious tone, which openned the door for the actors politicians doing populist strongmen acts and spewing outright but short and simple lies.

Today's American Political Landscape is a field plowed and sowed by Democrats and harvested by Republicans.
