I often wonder what Nazi rethoric sounded like to German speakers. Was it this stupid sounding?

Yep, Hitler was ridiculed as a weird looking idiot with strange hair. Sound familiar?

Actually yes. Nazis had a very anti-intellectualist slant and they used a lot of verbal imagery and bunk beliefs that in period would have seemed kind of like listening to flat earthers or Q-anon conspiracy theories.

Maybe not Trump levels of crass baby diction but close enough.

History rhymes. That sucks.

Nazi propoganda regularly referred to jews and other "undesireables" as "vermin". So, stupid but in a vintage style.

Also, people who agree first and foremost don't ask themselves whether it makes sense.
