Trump actually IS a lot like Hitler

[Geeko Sportivo]

Terms like "Godwin's Law" are meant to be quick debate-enders. But they also prevent an honest discussion of historical similarities, in a way that we could actually learn from our history and not repeat the same mistakes.

It doesn't mean they're exactly alike. But the messianic complex, the narcissism, the demand for complete loyalty (without returning it), the brilliant manipulation of the masses. Both focused on grievances and being the "retribution" for those who were wronged. And neither had political adversaries - if people aren't on board, they're enemies. Both have a cult of personality.

It's time to actually learn from history. Does anyone doubt that Trump would trash the Constitution if it didn't suit him? He is capable of anything, and - as Carlson said - he is good at destroying things.

Well at least Hitler was man enough to off himself as all of his crimes caught up with him!

Maybe you should be more worried about who will replace Biden in 2024, given he's now the least popular modern US president and only has wide support from the radical Left...

Can I do both?

Doesn't seem like a heavy lift.

Doesn't seem like a heavy lift.

I would hope neither runs or if they do are rejected in the primaries.

Trump is much worse than Hitler.
Hitler is dead.
Trump, unfortunately, isn't.

[ExpressLane]

Pretty much all lies there.

You really just say stuff.

Which ones are lies.

The are still living Jews that would agree with you.

Biden would because he already tried to with his mandatory shots.

If forced medical procedures aren't Hitler-esque, don't know what is. Where was your outrage then?

Hello Pointgold,

If a state deems that a vaccine is to be mandatory, that is in adherence to the Constitution. So says the US Supreme Court:

Jacobson v. Massachusetts

There is nothing Hitler-like in adhering to the US Constitution.

But there is when you make a post about a tanking crippling economy like the one you made. REMEMBER? " Bzzzt Bzzzzzt....Were going down ...were crashing, were going down hard,....take the stock market and economy all the way down and take trumps chances of re election with it!!" UnAmerican traitor!

Bartender, I never expected you of all on the left to fall for this bullshit.

I don't think it's BS. If I made a claim that he is exactly like Hitler, sure.

But I started the thread after watching a documentary on Hitler. I've seen a lot of stuff on that guy, but it was just striking to me how similar the 2 were in some ways. I mean, how could you argue that Trump has a similar Messianic complex? "I alone can fix it" - and he has said a variation of that many times. Similar narcissism, similar demands for loyalty. Both men thrive on pitting groups against one another, and playing to the fears and grievances of their supporters.

They are both master manipulators of the mass psyche. It's something I'm morbidly fascinated with.

But again - I'm not saying they're exactly alike. Obviously, they are not. Hitler had a major obsession with prejudicial hate for certain groups of people (mainly, German Jews), and was obviously a genocidal maniac, which Trump is not.

Bartender, if you saw a documentary on Hitler you would immediately see the similarities between him, the democrat party and the propaganda they use. Hope you have a good evening.

Well, I have my own problems w/ the Dems. I don't see that comparison quite as much, though. Obviously, both parties engage in a lot of propaganda and misdirection, which were hallmarks of Nazi rule.

I'd like BOTH parties to move away from the crazies. The parties have always had their fringes, but they were kept out of the inner circle more in the past.

Hope you have a good evening, also.

LOL

Who is going to beat Trump for the GOP nomination? DeSantis? He's already losing ground. Trump will be the nominee.

He will not survive the court cases. You will be scrambling for a candidate when he gets found guilty.

In fact, Trump models himself after Mussolini.
