    At the height of its power, the Nazi party made up less than that percentage of the population of Germany. It doesn’t take much to ruin it for everyone.

    Case in point: US President Donald Trump, whose approval rating has historically hovered around 30%.

    Those of us with front row seats to the shitshow hope you’re right, because even just last week, my dad was saying, “It could never happen here!” when I brought up how the playbook Trump is using is the exact same one that Hitler used.

      The US has an inefficient electoral system for president. It’s not uncommon that low approval people win

      Those of us who have better systems things go better.
