An old quote which may well apply today

"In a time of great danger, all types of people move into leadership poistions.

"Look at the times we have been through: first the war, then the difficulties of post war life, inflation und terrible poverty. Add to all that unemployment.

"When people are engulfed in a horrible existence and see the future as a grey and impossible, then they will listen to the promises of people they know nothing about".

That is a quote from the father of the Scholl siblings, who were involved in distributing leaflets in Munich in 1942 opposed to the Nazis.
