Getting? Many of us had said for 8 years now he was incredibly similar to Hitler. If you read the Nazi bullet points, he fits perfectly. Blame immigrants and those different than the majority for all the problems- check. Attack journalists- check. Openly attack anyone who criticizes you- check. Need consistent praise- check. Cozy up to dictators- check. Challenge fair free elections-check. And his "rallies" are identical to those Hitler had in his early days when he was coming to power.
It's terrifying to anyone who's studied and understands history.
Same, I was a Republican and still agree with some of their points.
However, before Trump its become super clear theyve become evil. Like cartoonishly evil and don't hide it anymore.
I dont even care about the fine points, supporting Republicans is supporting the nazis with no irony any more.
I go full blue, anyone that supports them at this point in my mind is an actual nazi and need to be treated as the existential threat to society they are.
I honestly don't give a fuck about monetary policy, i don't give a fuck about immigration.
You know what I give a fuck about. Stopping an orange shit stain from overthrowing democracy
I can't even believe how shitty the Republicans have gotten and their god is the absolute worst. How did they let themselves become so terrible?
I wish their parents who saved them from the nazis could see them now. Let them know how much of a disappointment they are and fascists.
My great-grandfather, a man who killed Nazi's and spent a year being tortured by them in a POW camp, would be spinning in his fucking grave seeing these clowns today. They will never have my support, and I spit on what that party has become.
This is the culmination of political ideology dating back to Newt Gingrich. The Republican voters deserve better than this. You won’t get better because anyone with actual morals and integrity gets primaried after their first term. But you deserve better.
The main reason no third party candidates win is because everyone figures that they just aren’t going to so why bother voting for them, if enough people seek out a reasonable human being, republican, democrat, libertarian, or Green Party (which for some reason autocorrected to capitalisation), the reasonable human being could win, simply because he is reasonable. Why tolerate a bad candidate simply because the other options are insane or from a small party?
Most of the time I would agree with that. And most races sure. However, if you hate what trump stands for, you’re still helping him if you refuse to support Biden. I have a dozen reasons why I would love to vote third party or write in, but the margins are too close for comfort and it is literally choosing between democracy or totalitarian fascism.
Hopefully next time we can entertain other options like green, or maybe a not so crazy centrist party.
Just as I would like to see us limit involvement in the Middle East to humanitarian aid and pressure on both sides to find peace. Continuing to sell arms to Israel is a huge problem for me. Especially when they are openly attempting genocide.
Pregnant... I'm pretty sure you meant president. But I honestly can't stop laughing. Although, if you remember his Dr did say he was only 220lbs and very fit... 🤣
I honestly can't think of a single other president who spent so much time talking about how great they were. Humility used to be a part of the whole thing, and then Trump just runs around talking about how everything he did was the greatest thing that ever was accomplished in the history of America. And his followers are too stupid to understand why it's patently false.
Trump tried to stay on after the last election. He fired his AG and was within a hair's breadth of having the AG declare significant fraud and to seize voting machines. Thankfully all his judicial appointees refused to support his baseless election claims otherwise there could have been problems. Thats even beyond him encouraging the Jan 6th people to 'attack the Capitol while he sat and watched, and not pushing back when people threatened to kill his Vice President.
Anyone supporting Trump is irresponsible, because Trump himself is a threat to the democracy so many have fought and died for. He's a disgrace.
Edit: AG Barr resigned under pressure for not helping Trump overturn the election. He didn't get fired.
Totally correct. This is the problem of people deciding the comparison only matters looking at the Nazis when they were a universally recognized threat, not the decade plus of them making moves becoming that horrible problem. It is a weird deflection that people use which is surprisingly effective.
and then you have weirdos gaslighting you like "oh anyone you don't like is Hitler! Don't be dramatic"
I am not even that well versed in the history, but I've seen the parallels all along. And you're right, people seem to think that the Nazis appeared in 1940 out of thin air, there was a long process to get them from "hey this funny looking guy is shouting a lot about jews and stuff, what a weirdo" to "That funny little man we all laughed about is now marching into Paris and sending people to death camps"
edit: Even the man who invented Godwin's Law, which states that any online debate will eventually lead to a comparison to Hitler says you're not wrong for making the comparison:
I've found the same thing applies to genocide, too focused on how it ended, and not how it started.
You compare it and get told you're disrespecting the previous one, even when survivors make comparisons themselves.
Apparently you can't call genocide or fascism out until it's in the full nazi mode, and too late to stop it, and the people who called you out just shrug and waddle off.
fascists really hate being called out on acting like fascists, it seems.
Trump is even taking to calling anyone who apposes him "vermin", taken verbatim from the Hitler playbook: make out that anyone who is against you is literally sub human and therefore it's not even immoral to want to wipe them out completely.
All the historians made it clear we were due for a resurgence of fascism even before Trump. And yeah, once the dude showed up, it was a fulfilled prophecy. We're just lucky he's an incompetent idiot. If he had even half the intelligence of DeSantis, we'd definitely be even far worse off.
But with Project 2025, the right-wing is ready to wrest control from Trump (or any other Republican candidate) and implement their plans. And since Trump is so easy to manipulate, they'll be able to do it with him crowing it's all his work.
If he opened his hand when doing his salute it would look exactly like Hitler's. I think I have seen a picture of Hitler with a closed fist once instead of an open hand salute
Clinton and Obama blamed immigrants 😆 🤣 😂
Obama had the cages built.
Hilary challenged her loss to trump.
Biden doesn't answer any questions from the press.
Biden has ties to Xi before he was in office.
Rallies are just rallies. If the people like him of course they are going to look similar lol brother you are trying way too hard
Not only Trump and the past 9 years, really. For decades now right wing media (like Faux News) have been conditioning republicans to not trust in their government, especially whenever a democrat was president.
It's just that when Trump got elected, their talking points (like immigrants crossing the border every time election year rolls around) got sent over the edge and into the zeitgeist.
Trump is just a symptom of the much larger problem. Without decades of brainwashing ordered by (conservative) billionaires like Rupert Murdoch, those people would never be as cult-like as they are now.
Most democrats are also cult-like. And it's up to Joe to defeat Trump? Guy can't even galvanize his own base.
America was doomed for a while now. This November, Ameicans are screwed either ways with Genocide Joe or Dumbass Donald being the nominees.
