Populism was a tool to control the masses and it involved common hatred and persecution of minorities, where it ended was tragic and I think personal hatred on Hitlerās part but the playbook works well. People seem to love to hate and will give up their rights for those that champion it⦠eg Brexit

Have a look at what happened in Germany around the 1940s, itās a similar playbook of populism and democratic rights removal, persecution of minorities, gutting of the press, universities and courts. They even have a secret police now (ICE vs brown shirts / gestapo). Fascism creeps in USA
