    Default “I’ll Never Question 1938 in Germany Again”

    “Former Republican strategist Stuart Stevens described the GOP under Donald Trump as a party of cynics, stooges, racists, and obsequious enablers whose profiles in cowardice bear an uncomfortable resemblance to 1930s Germany. “When I talk to Republican politicians, I hear Franz von Papen,” he says, referencing the German chancellor who convinced Germans that so-called radical leftists were a far greater threat than Adolf Hitler. “They all know that Trump is an idiot. They all know that he’s uniquely unqualified to be president. But they convinced themselves that he was a necessity.”

    “Republicans have sacrificed every last belief and principle they held dear on the bonfire of Trump’s vanity. And now, not even the catastrophically mismanaged coronavirus pandemic can wake them from their stupor.”

    “There was a core set of beliefs that, say, 90% of the party would have agreed on, were fundamental, definitional, nonnegotiable for the Republican Party: personal responsibility, character counts, strong on Russia, deficit matters, fiscal sanity, free trade, strongly pro-legal immigration. These were fundamental, nonnegotiable bedrock principles that define what it was to be a Republican. So, Trump is not that, the party now has drifted away from those. The party is actively against each of those. We are the character-doesn’t-count party. We are to the left of Bernie Sanders on trade, as far as I can figure out any coherent policy to it. We’re [Vladimir] Putin’s poodle. And so, then you say, How does anybody abandon deeply held beliefs in three, four years? and I think the answer is you don’t. It just means you didn’t deeply hold them.

    Trump was elected because the Democrats refused to nominate Sanders. Bad, bad move. Now they've done it again.

    I used to wonder how the German people let Hitler come to power. It is right before us with Donald Trump.

    They took away the guns

    In 1931, Weimar authorities discovered plans for a Nazi takeover in which Jews would be denied food and persons refusing to surrender their guns within 24 hours would be executed. They were written by Werner Best, a future Gestapo official. In reaction to such threats, the government authorized the registration of all firearms and the confiscation thereof, if required for “public safety.”

    registration of all firearms (left wants) And sent people into the streets to beat people up...u know like here

    Nothing to do with guns. Weak people like you will never understand power.

    Hitler called Libertarians the Left, ... and the Socialist Welfare State Monarchy he fought for in WW1 ... the right. The Welfare State Socialist Monarchy was the gov't that Hitler was trying to emulate. Hitler created a massive welfare State that even included obamacare for German citizens.

    Meanwhile, Leftist SJW lynch mobs torch and destroy our cities. They are socialist militants, no different than Ernst Rohm's Brown Shirts or the Democrat party's KKK.
    "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."
    — Joe Biden on Obama.

    Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.

    D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.

    Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".

    Earl admits that Trump is only the President for those who voted for him.

    Ah, no, not even close, there was a reason they assassinated Rosa Luxembourg early and crushed the labor unions once they had the ability, you are echoing the Glenn Beck version of history, not the facts
