Understanding Trump

[Port Tack]

Trump is quite easy to understand, he does what he has to do. The difference is he's honest about it not like you miserable bastards.

Those are the exact same things said about Hitler by those who fell for him. To make the comment that Trump is honest shows that you are completely hypnotized by your fuhrer.

 

[Blackwater Lunchbreak]

Trump arguably is fascist. In my opinion he's not; he lacks ideology altogether. He's driven entirely by need, the need to be first, to be on top, to be wanted, to win, etc. If he thought promoting himself as a liberal Democrat would do the trick he would be a self styled liberal Democrat.

what do you mean by fascist?

do you the mean the union of state and corporate power?

yakuda also thinks globalism has gone too far and is stupid and destructive.

he's just afraid to say it.

it's honesty and good policy we get from trump, and yakuda agrees.

 

[Blackwater Lunchbreak]

Fascism is the ideology that violence is the means to power.

that's all totalitarianism.

fascism is unique in that it has to do with the modern phenomenon of the corporation.

fascism is the union of corporate and state power, one hand washing the other. the black hand.

Not necessary to invoke Hitler. Counterproductive, in fact. Any successful con man will do the job.

It is neccessary to invoke Hitler because the phenomenon is the same.

Trump and Hitler are both political performance artists who speak only vaguely about policy. Using jokes, insults and extreme language to command attention.
Both Trump and Hitler use extremist statements very deliberately meant to provoke a reaction and to get them into the press.
Both Hitler and Trump prey on those who are dissatisfied with the status quo and claim they are anti-establishment and not politically correct and promise they can easily fix everything.
Trumps rallies where he rants about all the problems in the world and how will easily fix them are so much like Hitlers rallies in the 1930's that it is as though Trump studied them. When have you seen any political candidate hold "rallies" like both Hitler and Trump are known for doing?
Most of all Hitler's Nazi's were known for adoring their leader and ignoring anything about them that were bad. Here we have trump who is guilty of rape and fraud and countless other crimes yet his Nazi's overlook all of his crimes and adore him. He said it, that he could shoot someone on fifth ave and not lose his followers. So could Hitler.
Yes it is neccessary to invoke Hitler because that phenomenon is playing out again right before our eyes.

what do you mean by fascist?

Someone who says they will only appoint those who are loyal to them and they threaten the populace with what horrible things will happen if they are not the ones chosen to lead. Just Like Trump.
They include their own family members in their administration like Trump did and has now done with a neice running the GOP.
Those are both classic examples of known fascists.

trump is very clear.

tariffs.

close the border.

nothing vague about it.

Anyone using the word honesty in the same sentence with trump is a dead giveawy that you are talking to a trump nazi. Someone who has trumps wool pulled down completely over their eyes.

That is right, Hitler said he could easily fix all the worlds complex problems very simply and his Nazi's believed him just like you believe trump.

trump is right in this instance.

and it's your Dems that are the constant war makers, like Hitler was.

Nothing to be gained by it, even counterproductive. After eight years the country has had a good look at Trump. Voters who still might be persuaded to oppose him aren't going to take seriously claims he is like Hitler but might be persuaded his selfishness has gone too far or that he's simply a poorer choice for the office than Biden. They likely would take umbrage at the suggestion they haven't been smart enough to see that Trump is like Hitler.

 

[Ross Dolan]

There is only one major political party (Republicans) in all of the western democracies on the planet which would knowingly nominate a married guy who fucks porn stars, pays them hush money, has been found by the courts to have defrauded his own charity, committed defamation and sexual assault, and have felony convictions for business fraud.

It is sad, isn't it?

What has happened to the leaders of that once useful party?

 

[Ross Dolan]

I give you credit for admitting you have no balls.

If you think I have no balls...you must be wondering what is hitting your chin each time you...
...ahhh, never mind. You would never get it.

Whether or not they would "take Umbrage to the suggestion" is not what I am concerned with, I'm simply stating what is the truth.

 

[Ross Dolan]

At this time i think Trump is the only top Democrat Biden would beat.

I think Nikki would have run away with the next election and even as bad as DeSantis is, i think he would likely have won.

Joe Biden and the Dems are thrilled to have Trump again and it is why Biden stayed and ran again, as he knows that is the one guy he would beat.

That's the way I see it also. Any "fear" I feel has to do with somehow Trump not being the GOP nominee.

The GOP is in a mess. There are people like Steve Bannon proclaiming that the Trump trial and conviction HELPED Trump enormously...both financially and vote wise. And in the next breath, demanding that Republican legislators and prosecutors "get even" with Dems for the damage they are doing!

And the MAGA morons don't even see the incongruity of that. Stupidity is certainly in ascendency in Republican circles.

Even Godwin says that using Hitler as a comparison with Trump makes sense.

Can you imagine Trump ordering his own suicide, or writing his own 'Mein Kampf'? He would be lucky to manage a paragraph. He's a self possessed con man devoid of political philosophy, having no morally corrupt determination that would him into something like a holocaust and no
super nationalism causing him to dream of an American "thousand years". He's not insane, just a windbag.

You got it!

 

[evince]

it is sad when people who were born with brains discredit themselves by including the word Hitler in their opening sentence........where did they go wrong?.....

Hitler is history

History repeats its self
