At least one in every five Americans aged 18-29 believes Adolf Hitler had 'some good ideas', according to a new poll, raising concerns about the way Americans receive historical education.
A survey conducted by the DailyMail.com/J.L. Partners asked 1,000 respondents about their views on Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler, inquiring as to whether they believed he had had some 'good ideas', or if they believed he was 'evil and had no redeeming features.'
'If you need an example of the corrosive impact that social media can have on younger Americans' view of the world, this is it,' James Johnson, founder of J.L. Partners, told DailyMail.com.
Out of all of the respondents, 11 percent believed he had some redeeming qualities. 77 percent said he was 'evil', and a further 12 were 'unsure'.
Gen Z was the generation most likely to believe Hitler had some good ideas, with 21 percent of respondents under 29 following that belief. Only 16 percent of respondents aged 30 to 49, and a further 7 percent of respondents aged 50 to 64 concurred.
Furthermore, Republicans are more likely to agree than Democrats, with 14 percent of Donald Trump supporters believing Hitler had some positive aspects in comparison to only 9% of Kamala Harris supporters.
This follows incidents where TikTok removed videos of AI-generated and translated videos of Hitler's speeches from the platform after the videos racked up over a million views, reported the DailyMail.com.
