Studying about the rise of Hitler, one of the things that stands out is that he signaled everything he was going to do long before he did it. But people didn’t believe him. They thought it was just crazy, he must be joking, that that could never happen in such a strong democracy.

People SUPPORTED Hitler. They found his ‘change’ narrative attractive. Most politicians have a ‘change’ narrative that they use to ascend to power, and they create an enemy to fuel that narrative. Maybe you should restudy this Hitler parallelism that you are trying to draw.
