The whole thing with Trump's "Stolen Election" con has been frighteningly instructive. I used to wonder how and why so many Germans supported Hitler, even if only passively. I'm in no way comparing Trump to Hitler, but the way that so many of his supporters just fell in line with something so ridiculous is kind of scary. A charismatic leader, who is sensitive to the anger and frustrations of his audience, can convince them of just about anything it would seem.
