It's a dumb headline because there are definitely people paying attention, just not the right people.

The people that support him are paying attention too, and it's exactly what they (think they) want to hear. They assume under a dictatorship they will be immune from ramifications.

As with everything else, they vote against their own best interests but don't realize it.

His followers are listening too. The issue is that to them "sounds like Hitler" is a feature not a bug.
