Why would women vote for Trump? A hint from history: why did women vote for Hitler?

2. Important differences between us and Weimar Germany...

Germany was much harder hit by the Depression than we were. They also were hit with massive inflation, and a large number of their most productive males were killed or disabled in WWI. The demands made on Germany by the Versailles treaty were seen as punitive; punishing Germany for the War to End All Wars.

That, combined with a relatively short history of democracy and the fear of the Soviets on their eastern border made for strange bedfellows in the German elections.

There are always some of either gender who will become disciples, but there are also those who analyze the options and go for the "least bad" choice-- weak and ineffective democrats, Soviets on the border, or Nazis who just might put people back to work. Few had much of an idea that Hitler would really start another war, or death camps. The German bankers and industrialists let it be known that they believed they could control him once in office.

We aren't in that much trouble yet, and I still have hope only a small portion of the population falls for his bullshit.
