One day, Hitler came to a cabinet meeting carrying a chicken.
He held the chicken’s 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 Hitler’s grip. But Hitler did not let go, nor did he pay any attention to its cries—he just kept plucking.

The cabinet members said to him: “Don’t torture that poor creature like this. Let it go.”

But Hitler refused to listen to anyone.

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 them to the chicken. In that state, the chicken, desperate for food, started looking toward Hitler’s 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.

The cabinet members asked in astonishment: “What is this?”
Hitler replied: “Voters 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.”
