“What we learn from history is that people don’t learn from history.” Warren Buffett

Two days ago, a book called 53 Days: How Hitler Dismantled a Democracy by Timothy W. Ryback was released. In it, “Ryback recaps the period in 1933 from January 30, when Hitler was appointed chancellor, to March 23, when the Reichstag passed the Enabling Act granting him dictatorial power. During that 53-day span, he banned hundreds of newspapers, purged civil servants and police, arrested left-wing politicians, and had his brownshirts intimidate voters during the March 5 Reichstag elections–resulting in unfair elections that increased Nazi representation.”  

And on the topic of voters, here’s a fact check from the Heritage Foundation. www.electionfraud.heritage.org. Between 2015 and 2025, 612 individuals have been found to have committed voter fraud in the entire United States. 612. This is the Heritage Foundation, friends. All this trouble over 612 people out of 154,000,000 voters?

And people will ignore the historical record in the 53 Days book and disregard the Heritage Foundation statistics. And they will shoot the messenger (in this case, me).

​So what do we learn from history? That people will believe what they want to believe, facts be damned. 

But also this. “A truth is still a truth, even if no one believes it. A lie is still a lie, even if everyone believes it.” 

But only one of them will set us free. (John 8:32)
