It is NOW clear, that yes, Trump is using propaganda. He lies repeatedly, systematically. Bold lies. And somehow nearly half of America seems to believe absolute batshit crazy statements. Black is white, up is down. Time for a thread about propaganda

First we must understand WHAT IS propaganda. You could say that 'all politicians lie' and that is not far from the truth. It is a kind of occupational hazard in attempting to 'win' a majority in any democracy. 'Sometimes' you 'stretch the truth..'

Propaganda is different. It is not the occasional - or even FREQUENT lies that some (many, most, all) politicians tell us to win elections. Propaganda is a DECEPTION METHOD to brainwash an electorate. A systematic use of obvious clear blatant lies

Trump's system is bafflingly blatant. It is like Rudy Giuliani declared 'The truth isn't the truth' and what Trump himself said, do not believe what you read. We (readers of this TW feed) see the lies. We are stunned, how can the Magahatters NOT SEE

The inventor of the modern propaganda method is Goebbels, and the first politician to use propaganda to destroy a democracy and turn it into his dictatorship, was Hitler. Propaganda is HOW Hitler got into power. I don't mean Trump is Hitler.

One of Goebbels's themes for propaganda was to make the lie big and bold, and SIMPLE, and repeat it, endlessly. Our 'Fake news'. 'Deep state'. 'Drain the swamp'. These are LIES that are DESIGNED to poison voters & destroy democracy. Repeated always

I do not suggest Trump is Hitler. Although Trump's actual favorite book of all time is Hitler's Speeches. I don't think Trump is smart enough to emulate Hitler or admire him, & Hitler was no genius. The German army decided he is not officer material

This is why Trump's fave book is not Hitler's (warped) philosophy book Mein Kampf. But rather Hitler's Speeches, which lets Trump imagine a triumphant American 'Mein Reich' that adores their Der Fuhrer Trump. He is a child, wants the ADORATION (only)

The reason we HAVE to examine Hitler's use of propaganda vs Trump, is because it was INVENTED for Hitler.. and initially perfected by Hitler (with Goebbels of course). Hitler used mass rallies. But the POWER was 'new media' of 1920s: cinema & radio

Radio was the first mass media that let a whole nation hear a leader AT THE SAME TIME. In the previous century, a newspaper could deliver a politican's words.. in coming DAYS. Not 'simultaneously. Radio transformed the power, magnified propaganda

Using radio, and cinema, & newspapers, and his rallies, but especially radio, Hitler used REPETITION of small simple lies. The West (England, France, America) had 'caused' the pain for the Germans (victims). The 'enemy' inside: Jews were villains..

Hitler told of a national victimhood, and scapegoated all his possible enemies including a free press, his political rivals, the courts, the police and the army. He built a loyal SS army and the Gestapo for himself (is this what ICE is to become?)

Hitler's propaganda did NOT win him a majority. But it got his popularity to rise, as the leader of second biggest party, he JOINED power, and then took over and jailed his rivals. Hitler also said Germany needs to 'return to greatness'. THIS..

This 'return Germany to greatness' was the culmination of Hitler's thesis. It was ridiculed by the majority of Germans. That ridicule ended, when Hitler seized Austria. From that point on, the MAJORITY of Germans believed in Hitler to some degree

After WW2, you would think 'nobody is that foolish to try the Hitler gambit'. Because we can see how it ended. But Hitler's END was not due to 'propaganda failing'. Hitler's end is unrelated to the POWER of brainwashing via propaganda. I'll show you

The PERFECT case study of use of 'the Hitler method' to get INTO power, and to turn a democracy into dictatorship - is Putin.
Before got into power, Putin blamed the West (England, USA, Germany) for Russia's misery (collapse of Soviet Union etc).

Putin had a domestic scapegoat, the Chechens. He brutally mass-murdered half a million of them in the war he launched without warning - on his own citizens. Putin promised to return Russia to greatness. And he DIDN'T win majority when he took power

After Putin was appointed Prime Minister he seized power, and then systematically eliminated the opposition from the free press, to the courts, to political rivals. He favored a sector of his military (semi mercenaries) and has already waged 6 wars

What Putin proved, was that the PROPAGANDA method of Hitler (=Goebbels) worked in a modern world. Hitler was not an anomaly! And Putin MODERNIZED Hitler's era to modern media, in particular TV. Then following Hitler's playbook, he annexed Crimea

Before Putin had annexed Crimea, about half of Russia STILL feared/worried/hated Putin. But after Putin 'fulfilled' the 'grand promise' of 'restoring greatness' - like after Hitler annexed Austria, when Putin annexed Crimea, his REAL support grew

We think of Hitler launching World War 2 (in reality Japan did) and of Poland, France etc. Of the genocide against Jews, gas chambers etc. That is AFTER Hitler got INTO POWER. Propaganda has NOTHING to do with THAT (other than hiding some of it)

When we consider Trump or Putin vs Hitler, and their RISE into power, then the TOOL of propaganda is the point. Ignore the stupid stuff about what Hitler became once IN power. Trump is using propaganda NOW to get into - and hold onto - power.
