'MAGA In A Nutshell': Voter's Wild Explanation For Backing Trump Goes Viral
HuffPost
A Pennsylvania man explained why he supported the president-elect even though "I consider him like Hitler."
A Pennsylvania man’s reasoning behind his vote for Donald Trump has gone viral and left social media users aghast.
The man’s quote was included in an article by The Philadelphia Inquirer that explored how the president-elect, buoyed by voters’ economic anxieties, won Pennsylvania despite being called a fascist.
The excerpt that went viral on social media read:
In Scranton on Wednesday, Matt Wolfson, a 45-year-old former construction worker, looked around at poverty in the Rust Belt city and thought the nation needed a change in leadership.Wolfson said he didn’t love the dictatorial aspect of Trump’s personality, but thought it could help keep the country out of wars and maybe bring peace to some other conflicts, including in Ukraine.“He’s good and bad. People say he’s a dictator. I believe that. I consider him like Hitler,” Wolfson said. “But I voted for the man.”
During the campaign, Trump was compared to Adolf Hitler, who started World War II by invading Poland. Trump used similar rhetoric to that of the Nazi dictator, calling opponents “vermin” and claiming that undocumented immigrants are “poisoning the blood of our country.”
