    Well, he was a good public speaker. It's why the Nazi Party chose to make him their speaker.

    Also, conservatives, when talking about history will praise Hitler. Sure, they'll say they condemn the holocaust, but they'll say things like "he was a great leader", "he put Germany from a depression to a booming economy" or "he united Germany". Publicly, it's basically "He was the best leader ever, except for that one thing". God knows what they say when they know everyone there is on their side.

          I had a white Argentine girl in college tell me her economic beliefs were "basically the same as Hitler"

          Which is funny because the alleged Nazi economic boom entirely built on slavery and a completely unsustainable war machine. But whatever.

            If i may correct you. The economic boom was not built on slavery, the slavery came later. It was built on fraud. Thank you very much. Hjalmar Scacht was a good liberal and knew you needed two things to get an economy going, private investment and infinite money. So he created a bunch of state supported investment scams, most notably MEFO which was a dummy corporation that the reichsbank lent infinite money to. Once they had infinite money he needed investment so he started selling off infrastructure and state owned companies, and used the resulting real revenue to float the scams which transferred their infinite bullshit money into illegal armament production
