(23,094 posts)We think Hitler was so horrible, it's almost beyond belief that someone would act like that, so don't believe it when we see the evidence in front of our eyes. Drumpfs' condoning the violence by the Nazis and KKK in Charlottesville, his constant banging the drum of Fake News, lying about the media and judiciary - all of these are pages from Hitlers' book. Drumpf is a Fascist and he and his sycophants (although some of them are doing this out of sheer ignorance and stupidity) are doing their best to turn us into a Fascist country by destroying our media, and shredding our constitution by placing corrupt fascist judges into courts all around our country.

(36,457 posts)I have avoided them since the election. Fortunately, there aren't many, but it has come to the point where someone's politics tells you a lot about them as a person. I'm not interested in reaching out to them & understanding why they voted for Trump. Fuck that. I'll reach out to the non-voters & ask why they think voting doesn't matter, but fuck the Trump voters.

Sitting in the UN General Assembly and threatening to "totally destroy" another country is clearly not demonstrative of a sound mind.

(11,686 posts)but it does seem that the world is trying more than they did with hitler but it is probably not enough because the administration in charge of America will not do a damn thing. I think that there are just enough people to remember world war II and are fighting against it the best way they can but how can they do it without killing a whole hell of allot of citizens who they know did not want trump? There are some other countries falling into the same trap like we are. It is like we did not learn from the fatal mistake that Germany made with hitler.

(36,457 posts)Rule of law is great, but one side isn't playing by the rules & now they have their boot on our neck. It's time to take some of these fuckers down with a strong message that we aren't taking this shit anymore. But who is going to do that? The longer the Con is in office, the less chance we have of saving our republic. It think it's as dire as I've seen in my lifetime.
On the bright side, if the Con doesn't take us out, climate change will.

(11,686 posts)For years I have said I would rather die a slow painful death because of something like an earthquake, tornado, hurricane, tsunami, or any other thing that is caused by nature than die because I was shot, bombed, hung, or tortured to death by some asshole because I believed differently than them.

(123 posts)They screamed for 8 years that every single thing(including mustard choice) that Obama did was wrong, treasonous and anti-American, now they have the buffoon who's only compass is to do the exact opposite of the black guy, so they will dig in with him to save face and prove they were correct.
Nothing will be done as long as the economy has not tanked, nothing will be done as long as heaps of Americans are not dying (lets say in a war he starts)....nothing will be done until they realize they won't get elected. One or all of these things could very well happen....so eventually he will be out, but I fear that great pain and probably irreversible damage will have to effect us all first.
Humans seem to be wired this way. As much as we like to say never to repeat the mistakes of the past, we do it anyway. All the time.

(36,457 posts)I don't think they care about the dead bodies, but yeah, the economy & their re-election - that, they care about. The superiority of the white man has led us to the brink of ecological disaster & nuclear war.

(5,017 posts)Reelection and further economic destruction of this nation is all they care about. I hope they all die long, slow, extremely painful deaths that even the actually good healthcare THEY get won't help.

(32,634 posts)Trump should be impeached and there's plenty of evidence that he's not fit for office. There's plenty of evidence that Trump, Pence and the top leaders of the GOP have colluded with a foreign government to get elected, and that's treason. Plus crimes have been committed such as money laundering, illegal campaign contributions, etc.
Let's not go around making comparisons to Hitler though, this is completely different.
We need to keep our heads clear, and stay firmly resolved on this.
Hope and Resolve!

I hate to say this but I actually agree with Drumps statmentd at the UN. NK has actually fired missiles over our allies (SK and Japan). NK has nuclear weapons and missiles that can reach our west coast. Kim has said he is going to destroy us. This kind of talk may be the only thing he understands.
