I’ll ask again - care to debate who has been more of a dictator?
Virtually Indistinguishable from Hitler in 1934

Is that how Lying Donnie Sexual Abuser lured in Stormy and Karen, his porn queens prostitutes? Thanks for pointing that out, good job! Heck, they only cost him $130,000 each. Be proud, be president!
What is Lying Donny Sexual Abuser's favorite number? Hint: it's 91.
goldmom liked your post. That should tell you that you’re on the wrong side of this.
This. Trump says evil crazy stuff and Republican voters just ignore it.
Less war?
Less 3 letter agencies?
Less political crime?
More Democracy?
Oh man how will life go on?
That's what he's saying? I wish he would just say that instead of having to have people translate it.
Biden does evil crazy stuff and democrat voters just ignore it. So I guess words are worse than actions now…
Lol. There’s a reason the Dems on this board have compared him to Hitler literally hundreds of times.
I would say it’s fair to say that some of Trump’s rantings sound fascist. But I’m going to let you in on a little secret. The Nazis weren’t the only fascist regime in the history books.
As it happens, they are the only fascist regime in history that systematically murdered 11 million innocent civilians and started the most devastating war in world history. Which is why Hitler is the go-to fascist dictator when it comes time to compare Trump to a fascist dictator.
The other fascist dictators that didn’t kill tens of millions of people just don’t have that same “Wow!” factor.
And otoh, I got a Haha from you so that's quite validating 🤷♂️
I haven't scrolled through all 4 pages but I think it's safe to assume no one agreed on anything because arguing is pointless. 😀
Trump's going to die before we get our dictator but his movement won't die unless we get our shit together. Our dictator isn't going to wind up like Hitler or Mussolini unless we start a war with China. Our guy will be victorious like Franco or Pinochet and we'll get to enjoy decades of nonstop McCarthyism.
Okay?
And your point to me is what exactly? I think I made it clear the parallels end at the rhetoric.
If the parallels end at the rhetoric then what is even the point of drawing the parallels in the first place? Adolf Hitler wasn’t Adolf Hitler because of rhetoric. If the worst thing Hitler ever did was make incendiary speeches then none of us would even know who he was. Hitler holds a permanent place in the history books precisely because of the things he did after he made the speeches. The evil that he and his followers perpetrated is the reason everyone knows who he was.
Charles Manson committed petty theft as a young man. But if the worst thing he ever did was commit petty theft, no one today would know who Charles Manson was. We remember him as evil incarnate specifically because of the brutal mass murders he ordered his followers to commit. But we don’t compare everyone who commits petty theft to Charles Manson. That would be absurd.
So unless you’re sounding a warning bell - as The_Devil did when he quoted Martin Niemöller - then what purpose does it serve to invoke Hitler for comparison purposes?
1. Gotta admit, there's more limp dicks on the left.
2. Al Gore is the dreamiest, huh?
3. Parents at school board meetings are not terrorists.
4. Go back to your college safe space.
5. Even you don't believe that.
6. I value an American veteran on the street more than an unvetted Guatamalean.
7. Better syntax would have helped this word jumble.
8. I'll go along with reducing the "who you know" factor.
9. We don't have to take our collective foot off the necks of street criminals to place a foot on blue collar criminals, but that's what you wanna do ...
10. Nah, the disallowing of an opposition candidate thingy.
This is the most sobering lesson from all this. If you can channel people’s anger and hatred, there is no limit to what they will accept. I never before would have believed this about our country.
Are you serious with this? You really need to spend time reading books (not the Internet) on how Hitler and the Third Reich came to power and what they did to secure that power.
You are projecting a stupid idea and have no clue about history.
I agree a revenge tour Trump presidency would be dangerous.
However, the Hitler analogies are over the top ridiculousness.

The rhetoric clearly shows Trump’s state of mind. The choices are not binary. Just because I don’t believe Trump is promoting let alone intending to one day round up millions of people to exterminate them doesn’t mean the only alternative in the way of rational thought is that the rhetoric is innocuous.
Far from it.
The man is a ****ing lunatic who is inspiring a lot of equally demented people to believe a lot of crazy shit. That is not only not okay it’s dangerous.
Highlighting how the rhetoric stacks up to Hitler’s provides perspective on just how insane Trump and his merry band of sycophantic idiots are. In that context, exposing the parallels is very appropriate.
In short, everyone on the side of America and sanity needs to take the existential threat that is Donald Trump more seriously.
No, they are not. For reasons I just explained above.
I wouldn’t have either until Trump.
After all of the capricious defenses of Trump publicly declaring that he would encourage Russia to attack our allies, I don’t think a bottom exists for these people.
If Trump stated this weekend, “We need to round up all brown people and put them in internment camps until we figure out what the hell is going on,” not a single one would question it let alone hesitate to defend it.
I’ve made excuses for Republicans for too goddamn long. At this point, everyone needs to have a “come to Jesus” moment and figure out if they want to be on the side of good or the side of evil. The choices are that distinct.
Like what? Take afternoon naps and drool into his shirt collar?
I have seen some silly whataboutisms on here but this one is beyond ridiculous.
Biden?
Yeah, it’s over the top sexual assault of a shirt collar. Can you imagine the horror if Biden started sniffing it? He’s a mad man who’s gone well beyond rape or pussygrabbing.
One thing I’ve learned in this thread. A certain poster is either lazy af or didn’t get out of the third grade.
That’s fine, but from what I’ve read from you, you seem reasonable and intelligent. Just curious what your opinion is on where I’m going wrong.
I don't think you're "wrong" per se, I just think there's a hypothetical in there to reach the conclusion.
If Trump stated this weekend, “We need to round up all brown people and put them in internment camps until we figure out what the hell is going on,” not a single one would question it let alone hesitate to defend it.
Well, Trump was president for 4 years and didn't advocate that. I haven't heard him advocate that. If he did, I'd say the Hitler comparison would have more merit.
I think a better comparison would be Viktor Orban. Jumping to the architect of mass genocide and world war instigator Hitler is a reach, to put it mildly.
No, I think he has lost a step from his prime.
But he continues to negotiate through major legislative packages and accomplish things that will help Main St Americans for decades.
That works for me.
