The frightening part is that the GOP was a comparatively more sane and responsible party in the 1940s than in these Trumpian times, but JFK had them pegged even then: ‘(Republicans) follow the Hitler line – no matter how big the lie, repeat it often enough and the masses will regard it as truth’. - John F. Kennedy, speaking at the Knights of Columbus, East Boston, MA, 18 May 1947.
