Here's the thing. Your logic is totally correct when you have business as usual and the other party takes power.
But it doesn't really jive with the Hitler, end of democracy, dictatorship, Nazi's taking over narrative.
I would think the end of democracy would require more....but nobody that spouted that apparently believed it.
The D's are looking to 2026/28.
I don't think folks that actually BELIEVE that democracy is ending would be doing that.
True believers?
Seriously, open up a history book, and read/listen to some of the speeches Hitler made. Now watch/listen to Trump. You’re not being honest if you can’t seen even some similarities. And btw, I do believe at least some of this is hyperbolic in the end…but after 1/6, when his followers attempted to overturn the results of an election he lost - to say he poses no threat to democracy isn’t accurate either.
Once again, if he's Hitler, the D's aren't exactly treating it that way at the moment.
BAU
You’re avoiding the issue tho - do you see zero similarities between trumps rhetoric and Hitler?
Bear in mind that his own VP once referred to him as americas Hitler, and several members of his first administration have called him a fascist.
And in the meantime, beyond using the limited tools in their political arsenal, what precisely do you feel Dems should be doing?
I've asked several times now and haven't gotten an answer. Good luck.

So many voters refused to vote for either presidential candidate, with many on HBOT and elsewhere saying that the gridlock of a blue House of Representatives would be ok with them to block Trump’s worst impulses. Well elections have consequences. I’m not sure what exactly the Dems are supposed to do…file lawsuits every time Trump does the next crazy thing? Who has time when we are too busy watching the demented spectacle.
That’s why the best path is no more gridlock. Give them a full wide open highway, open the express lanes and let Trump’s bullshit promises and policies teach America a lesson.
I'm fine with what they're doing now.
Then again I don't think Trump is Hitler, democracy is ending and the Nazi's are taking over.
If you believe those things the more pertinent question is what would YOU have them do? Are you fine with BAU?
See above.
Imagine if Biden or Harris were trying to nominate P. Diddy to be Attorney General and was trying to work the rules to make a recess appointment so the Senate couldn't even have a hearing on him. I'm sure this is totally the reaction you would be having to that.
I wouldn't be calling Biden or Harris Hitler. Pretty sure of that
I'd be saying the picks are horrible should be rejected by the Senate....like I think Gaetz should be rejected.
You are confusing acting like Hitler with people calling him Hitler. Trump is not Hitler, he is something different. But he is a fascist and he is acting like a fascist. We don't know what the final shape of this will be and what he will ultimately be able to get away with yet but judging from past history the answer is somewhere around, "Just about anything he wants". We'll see if he is successful getting a child trafficker and rapist on as AG.I wouldn't be calling Biden or Harris Hitler. Pretty sure of that
I'd be saying the picks are horrible should be rejected by the Senate....like I think Gaetz should be rejected.
Whatever the result is, this period of time will not be looked up on very highly 50 years from now. In fact, the people pushing these policies now will probably be pushing to have any mention of the events of right now stripped from the history books or have the divisions referred to as "mild disagreements".
Fair enough.
But democracy isn't going to end and it won't be a dictatorship.
I'd put $$$ on D's taking back control of the House.
We'll see.
It depends what you mean by that. There will always be elections and people will get to vote. However, just because those things happen doesn't mean it is going to be a fair election or representative of the population. Hell, you can make that argument now.
Why was a candidate talking about "the enemy within" and locking up the press and "you will neve have to vote again" and singing the praises of dictators? Seems pretty strange, and then to actually elect that person to be president of the US is pretty unbelievable.
Is it really healthy for a democracy if 3/4 of the House races are not competitive?
Not a terrible idea, then they can go live in the tent cities in California and crap on the street with Auntie Nancy and Uncle Gavin
So you DON'T believe Trump=Hitler and his election means the end of Democracy?
Could have just said that a few posts ago....
I get it.
But how can you say you’d be “content” with that? I don’t understand the “let it burn” line of thought.
One reaps what they sow. In this case, the one is the country. MAGA is busy threatening everyone who is speaking against them, including fellow Republicans. I have no sympathy for what they may have brought upon themselves.
