He could, if he wanted. By adapting his promises to what lures people today into submission, and using the magical spell-words. "Social justice". "Solidarity". "Green conscience". "A future for our beloved children". Etc. etc.
The sound of these terms mean nothing - what actually is being done in their name defines the intention behind. And that proves them to be anything but what they claim to be by name.
As a matter of fact millions and dozens of millions follow these slogans unreflected, not thinking through what is being done in reality in their name, and not realizing that it has lead us back to totalitarian states already, political ideology ruthless trying to root out deviating opinions, and again the growing tyranny of what we considered to have defeated 20 years ago: socialism and communism.
Or look at Euro-hit countries, how easy people fall for propagandists and slogans promising them again better futures. Had you thought it possible that the Italians would vote Berlusconi back into influential power again?
Sometimes people simply chose to deselect reality.
