Why People Voted for Hitler: How Democracies Elect Dictators

'Oof... messed up a little there'In 1933, Hitler got 43.9% of the vote- and it wasn't even close. What happened there? The good news is we can use some clever psychology to get right to the heart of the issue: what was actually happening in people's heads. The less fun news is that because human nature hasn't changed since- it CAN happen here. Let's find out why!This episode is a journey through that very human nature, values, politics, and how they all interact. We'll be answering how would-be dictators get people to vote for them; what their classic techniques for getting into power are; why it keeps happening; and whether it's happening to you right now. If you want to keep your rights, you've got to understand how societies lose them. But don't worry- we'll be making this episode on losing rights as witty, entertaining, and cheerfully breezy as possible, because I don't want you to get depressed. Tune in, kick back, and enjoy!also the statistic at the start should be 44% oop
