Are you in the "let it burn club?"

These guys are idiots. My comparison of Trump and Hitler is more on the consolidation of power and how they achieved it. Rooting out the opposing party, eliminating dissent in his inner circle, using immigrants as a scapegoat.
Trump's idea of purging military generals sure worked out well for USSR and Germany during WWII...
Hey, I am completely with you on that. There is no question Donald Trump rejects democracy when he doesn’t like the outcome and seems to have this belief the United States should operate as a monolithic pseudo-democracy with him running the show and everyone else falling in line with his demands. Trump also seems to believe the role of the justice department and military is to do his bidding. You are 100% correct on that no matter how willfully ignorant the MAGA idiot brigade chooses to be toward Trump’s obvious autocratic, despotic aims.
I still do not believe we are going to see anything like Nazi Germany where throngs of people are stuffed into train compartments and sent off to labor camps to be starved and worked to death or summarily executed in gas chambers. If that belief makes me an idiot, then I guess that’s what I am.
Friendly reminder, this board of free thinking intellectuals couldn't even handle the sociology 101 task of "can good people do bad things and can bad people do good things".
Trump is Hitler!!!! My media told me!!!
Give it a rest. I mean we have some things in common. But, you can't ignore facts (i.e. words out of his mouth)
Then you could just as easily have used FDR for your comparison,.. but I know the Hitler thing has a nice ring to it.
FDR was elected 4 times. Outside of internment camps, bad comparison. Keep trying though
Read a book,.. Consolidation of power, rooting out the opposing party, eliminating dissent in his inner circle,... FDR taught the master class.
It will forever invoke an involuntary laugh as I read you guys discuss your outstanding ability to critically think.
And frankly Jimmy, if we don't have that, what are we playing for?
I don't think I was overly in the let it burn category, but after doing some thinking, I am definitely not, for one big reason - our service members and agents doing really difficult and dangerous jobs, especially overseas. Tulsi and Hegspeth being in charge of intel puts a lot of people in danger, so hopefully there are enough people in power positions that will be able to alleviate damage from Trump and the assholes he put into positions that affect those people. Basically, I want those Americans (suckers and losers) to be kept safe as possible.
People have been warning about this for a few years now and multiple members of the board laughed at or doubted all of it, but once again, here we are.
This whole thread of political nuts....... very entertaining.
I'm with you. I'm 56 and I think it's less than 50-50 I see another democrat as POTUS in my lifetime...because the new system won't allow there to be one.
Ok so you compare him to the president that caused the creation of the 2 term rule.
There is some aspects similar to FDR. Promiscuity, thirst for power. Intelligence level and actually passing something good for the country is beyond pale. There is a reason FDR is considered in the top 4 presidents of all time and Trump is in the bottom 4.
He would have crushed a Gaetz or RFK, and stated they didn't deserve to be in his orbit.
Toss of a coin,.. If we had lost WWII FDR would have been tagged as a war criminal,.. History is written by the winners, and the winners don't always record the absolute truth.
Agreed, we won't look like Germany but we very well may look like Putin's Russia, with people having food poisonings and falling off of balconies.
Okay, that was 6 years, Trump has 4. Hitler was an evil monster, I have yet to see any signs that he is on course to the path of Hitler.
Prior to the election the democrats were openly acknowledging they had brought people in, with the goal of citizenship over the next 4 years, to never lose dem strongholds.
Relax man, I've said all along, whoever wins in 24 will get crushed in 28. The hand-off the Biden administration is about to drop is going to be SHITTY, this thing is held together with wire and duct tape.
The winner of this election definitely got the booby prize. I will fully agree with you there Whiskey. The goal is to minimize the amount of breakage to our democratic systems.
Not even close to Hitler's views. Hitler started by taking the citizen's guns, freedom of speech, controlled the media, burned books and had his Brown Shirts (a.k.a. government agencies) imprison his opposition. I've seen none of this from Trump. I have seen it with the left though.
As life goes on that "history is written by the victor" thing has really generated some thought.
Burned books . . . hmmmm, trying to control the media and freedom of speed speech hmmm . . .
Imprisoning or harming opposition would be phase 2 of this Sharky.
No shit sherlock. Trump is no war hero, President worth admiring, or anything else admiring. FDR actually SERVED in the military. He encountered the worst financial and military issues to face this country. But........bone spurs and his desire to ignore the pandemic did the opposite of FDR. FDR created jobs. Trump created mobs
You are brainwashed. So elimination any opposition in the armed forces, CIA, FBI, and over throwing the FDA is peaceful transition of power?
Haha Hehe, not trying to overly take a shot at Biden,
We haven't had a president in months and there is a whole shit load of paperwork collecting on the desk that will need addressed.
Farthest thing from being brainwashed, and definitely not a Fed like you appear to be.
I can see that you're still at the anger stage in your grieving process,.. I'll give you some time.
Thats not really what I am looking at. We have an economy and financial system that are historical overheated and have been for a long time. You add that with a generational shift in interest rates (these shifts last decades) upheaval in world politics. Its not an easy thing to manage. I like the ideas of less regulation. Everything else with Trump and the lack of solid individuals, along with not very smart people in his cabinet is the concern I have moving forward. (Gaetz and RFK are so far beyond normal or even good I don't know how anyone can defend those 2 picks).
Still waiting for some MAGA to tell me how FDR murdered like Hitler.....
I'm past all that shite. But I'm not going to let idiots make up things.
