I often wonder what Nazi rethoric sounded like to German speakers. Was it this stupid sounding?

Yep, Hitler was ridiculed as a weird looking idiot with strange hair. Sound familiar?

Actually yes. Nazis had a very anti-intellectualist slant and they used a lot of verbal imagery and bunk beliefs that in period would have seemed kind of like listening to flat earthers or Q-anon conspiracy theories.

Maybe not Trump levels of crass baby diction but close enough.
