Political tactics often fool voters

I am an independent voter. I vote for who I believe is the best candidate for a particular office. In his book, Jessie Ventura says both Republican and Democratic parties are corrupt. Please all who read this check on what I write.

Back in the 1930s and ’40s, a paper hanger stood in front of his people and said “Elect me.” He would bring the country back to the greatest country in Europe and re-take all the land that was taken from them. “We will once again be the greatest country in the world.”

His propaganda machine told lie after lie after lie until it became a false truth. Anyone who opposed him were unpatriotic, stupid, against the country, traitors, not true countrymen, etc., etc. He bragged, belittled, threatened and insulted anyone who questioned him. A fascist dictator who murdered over 6 million people. Claiming they were the ones who held back their country.

Now comes an American using the same tactics to become our president. Please reconsider those who think he should be president.
