If the Führer Knew
If the Führer knew (German: Wenn das der Führer wüsste) is an idiom originating in Nazi Germany, describing a political phenomenon wherein many Germans at the time believed that Nazi Party officials were deliberately concealing evidence of atrocitiesfrom the Führer Adolf Hitler, who was oblivious and would've put an end to them.
No joke, Chinese dramas almost always portray the Emperor as benevolent, any problem is just because of the evil eunichs, evil sons wanting to steal the throne away from the good kindhearted benevolent son and rightful heir; or it's the evil couping relatives, generals, or the many wives scheming, etc... that are causing problems in the Empire... The Emperor is never at fault... 🤦♂️

there's only so many ways to influence human brains and people tend to independently invent the good ones
This happens in a lot of places. in Russia it was "Good tsar, bad boyars"

Sounds like what's happening in the US now.
Bold of you to assume Trumpsters recognise the atrocities as bad lmao.
But yeah I bet it happens too.
