The racism, misogyny, religious and ethnic bigotry voiced repeatedly at the highest levels of American government are very much consistent with the tactics employed by Nazi Germany which led to the systematic deaths of approximately 20 million people deemed undesirable for any number of reasons including the intentional extermination of an estimated 6 million Jews. America is on the brink of an explosion of unemployment not seen for decades, civil unrest is at an all time high, people are so motivated to go out into the streets and literally beat the shit out of each other because they adore the fuhrer vs those who think the fuhrer needs to be stopped. Today we're told that people who can't work are undesirable, that if we are expected to help them then we are falling into socialism and that's bad because your taxes will get raised (if you're lucky enough to have a job). Politicians do very little considerations on what it might cost if there is an impending war, but suddenly become extremely cost conscious if it's for education or healthcare.

on a scale of 1-10 likeness they're about a 2 right now.

Not close at all. You should feel stupid for making this thread.

German Führer sought to delegitimize core democratic institutions : today Trump does the same when institutions do not serve his political goals. Whether it be the courts, the electoral process, democratic opposition, even branches of the administration that do not fall in line. He calls the mainstream news media, decried as “Lügenpresse” (press of lies) in 1930s Germany, “fake news.”

Trump scapegoats minorities and stirs up of hostile emotions against adversaries, another tactic paralleled by Hitler in the 1930s.

Hitler affiliated SA- and SS-militias with his Nazi Party, President Trump encourages self-recruiting militias (stand by) Hostilities toward democratic countries supplement these parallels. (just yesterday in DC with the maga rally getting into fights with people on the left)

Another similarity between Germany of the inter-war years and the United States today is about those who enable leaders with authoritarian leanings. Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell would be a prime figure when historians look back to who dug the grave of American democracy

the reason u should feel bad is that whenever these comparisons are made its implied a holocaust is not only the goal of trump (as it was for hitler all along), but also that its likely or even could happen. so we must stop trump to stop a new holocaust.

invoking hitler to criticize trump is intellectually lazy. the dudes bad, no need to paint him as a boogeyman of legendary status to make that point.

Not very

Trump is fascist-lite but he's an idiot without a real plan and no strongly held beliefs.

You copy & pasted word for word your entire response from this article. I’m sure the op is the same
https://www.minnpost.com/community-voices/2020/10/1930s-germany-and-2020-usa-should-we-fear-the-parallels/

so this to me is a bit more interesting on the actual trump side im ok with the 2-3 score.

his base and where they are at in their own heads.. got to be a solid 5+

what’s with these lefties copy-pasting paragraphs from articles and trying to pass them off as their own. that one other rando you exposed literally copy-pasted an entire article lmfao

i guess they’re taking their cues from the pale pasty privileged lefty plagiarist they voted for
