One day, Hitler came to a cabinet meeting carrying a chicken. He held the chickenโs head tightly under his arm. As he walked, he began plucking its feathers one by one. The chicken screamed in agony, struggling desperately to escape from Hitlerโs grip. But Hitler did not let go, nor did he pay any attention to its cries - he just kept plucking.
A cabinet member said to him: โDonโt torture the poor creature like that. Let it go!โ
But Hitler refused to listen to him.
Finally, after plucking all its feathers, he threw the chicken to the ground. Then he took some grains out of his pocket and began feeding the chicken. In that state, the chicken desperate for food, started looking towards Hitlerโs hand again.
Hitler called it closer, offering the grains. After a while, the chicken came and sat near him, eating those few grains. The same chicken that had been struggling to escape from Hitler all this time now sat beside him again - for just a handful of grains.
Another cabinet member asked in astonishment: โWhat is the meaning of this?โ
Hitler replied: โVoters are just like this. For four and a half years, we pluck their feathers. And then, in the last six months, we throw them a few grains. For those few grains, the voters forget all the injustices we committed over four and a half years - and they vote for us again.โ
What a shame ๐ค ๐
