Hitler regime also murdered around 1.9 millions non-Jewish, Poles, and children were sent to Germany to be "Germanized". Trump isn't trying to take away guns, and over half the american population hates him or thinks he's an idiot. The policia are not going around and getting rid of dissenters or sending people to labor camps. He's doing some stupid chit, but he's not even close to Hitler.
He would do it if he could get away with it. One mistake that lil' Hitler has made is that he has not endeared himself to our nations' military. That's Dictator 101....can't go all dictatory if you don't have the military behind you. ICE (SS) will only get you so far.

I once posted Living Color's "Cult of Personality" video here in commenting on the Obama phenomenon. But the Obama thing was not as hateful as the Trump thing. What Trump does with illegal immigrants, asylum seekers, and Muslims is similar to what Hitler did with the Jews. There's nothing like that with Obama. Obama was the "Hope and Change" guy. It was more positive. Trump is a hate and resentment guy. Also the "Make America Great Again" thing is, to me, similar to the successful effort by Hitler to play upon that kind of thing with Germany. I don't think Obama did anything like that.
Just stop, JSO. You clearly have no clue what the heck you're talking about.

Those groups have been told they can't keep their current jobs?

Those groups have been rounded up, en masse, and forced into squalid ghettos AND then taken to camps where they work to death?

Those groups have had their real and personal property confiscated and then given out to Republican Party members?

Those groups have been blamed for every problem we have?



You've gone off the rails.

Trump is a shitstain on this country and a terrible president. But stop it with the Hitler comparisons, it's intellectually dishonest.
No.

Not yet.

Yes, but not because of who they are; rather in the general sense that those benefitting from the upward redistribution of wealth that's in progress are Republicans.

Yes. From the get.

Trump is a low down, god awful, dirty, **** bag of a President.


But I don't think he's smart enough to pull off what Hitler did.
He doesn't have to be smart, its already been done. The only thing holding him back is that conditions aren't bad enough yet.

Yes he is -

But he can pull more former Trump voters than any other Dem candidate. I don’t think he will be the nominee but moderate Dem primary voters - particularly midwestern Dems who broke for Trump last time - will vote for him if he doesn’t start pandering to the idiots

Oh really?

Jeb and Kasich weren't moderates?

Mitt wasn't a moderate?

None of them ran to the right to pander their way into the nomination.

The point is that Trump's second term is an own-goal for the Democratic Party. Run a communist against Trump and we'll see just how left-center your America really is, klam.

1). I’ve been saying Americans POLL left of center (including many Republicans - ‘keep government out of my Medicare’). That doesn’t mean they VOTE left of center. Reason: Duopoly/tribalism.

2). 1 of those 3 won the Republican primary.

3). You linking to a Federalist article and using the term “communist” are either nice trolls or obvious tells.

Amend the Constitution or STFU

Or move to the Central African Republic. They have direct popular elections there.

True. The reality that we could get Biden or Harris vs Trump and that we had Hillary vs Trump in 2016 does not speak well for the American vote, particularly voters in both parties.
