That doesn’t excuse all the other awful awful things he did.
Also his anti smoking laws failed as the war went on longer and longer.

MODERATORS
U.S. opinion on the Nazi dictator remains more negative that it was at the height of World War II, when 25 percent of Americans said his ideas were correct
That's pretty surprising, you'd think when they were fighting him they'd hate him most
Putin.
That's better than expected. Or is it that low because the rest thinks he was actually great?
He wasn't. He killed Hitler after all
Pretty sure this election proves it's way more than one in five.
I mean he was right about some things. Course extremely few people are wrong about those things but every now and then simple arithmetic trips people up

Seems like we could just focus on those facts to show how going like Hitler ends up.
1 in 5 cant see that far behind them.
They're about to find out.
Most will be too uneducated to comprehend.
