It seems that if you are a politician, being an unrepentant liar, cheat and sleaze doesn't matter - idiots still vote for you.

In 2013, Berlusconi was convicted of tax fraud by the Supreme Court of Cassation. His four-year prison sentence was confirmed, and he was banned from holding public office for two years. Aged 76, he was exempted from direct imprisonment, and instead served his sentence by doing unpaid community service. The anti-corruption Severino law then banned him for six-years and expelled him from the Senate. After his ban ended, Berlusconi ran for and was elected as an MEP at the 2019 European Parliament election. He returned to the Senate after winning a seat in the 2022 Italian general election.

Madness..... there's nothing more stupid than voters, as Trump and all his fellow villains have shown. It's much worse these days when being a media personality gives such people a faux patina of integrity.

Is that really from Hitler?

Whatever the circustmances, you don't seem to get that Hitler did not manipulate the German people like a Bond villain, he believed in what he did and the Germans believed in him, and he thought great of the German people; he did not think of Germans as people who do not think.

What I think is that you and Andy do not think well wrt politics.
