Is Trump the new Hitler?

[Iceweasel]

As day by day Trump moves to the left away from the radical rightwing nonsense he spewed during the campaign to fire up the nuts,

he might just turn out to be the most MODERATE Republican president of my lifetime.

W. Bush gave the left everything they wanted. Let us know when Trump does it.

 

[BuckToothMoron]

No! Trump is the new FDR.

Actually, I have been thinking the same thing. I think he will, or at least could be a president for rebuilding the infrastructure which will create more debt, but in 40 years it will look like a hell of a buy. It will also give well paid jobs to lower and middle class people much the same way the WPA did under FDR.

For you cry babies it wouldn't make any difference what Trump said or to who or how often.
NOTHING he will EVER do or say will EVER satisfy you losers!
Deal with it asshole!
Your side lost!

I was not for Hillary, I didnt had a horse in the race. Im neutral. I said some things in favour of Trump too before, I dont get why people attack me and say "I worship Hillary" etc.

You are showing nuts, likely paid for by the Democrat National Committee....as we saw evidence of on video with bob craemer and scott foval admitting they paid people to do things like this.......trying to smear Trump as a nazi....which he is not....by doing this you become the asshole smearing Trump........

you are either stupid.....or a left wing totalitarian.....which is essentially being both......

Maybe because of my thread title but in my content I said often enough its not about Trump himself but the nazis who support him.

Yeah....nice dodge....you are trying to smear Trump...moron......in the worst way.....you are an asshole....

Well we see a sharp rise in hate crimes and swasticas being spray painted and white men running around telling dark people they are going to be deported and to go back to their own country.

But we all understand this isn't Trump but this is his base. Problem is that he empowered them and he riled them up during the elections. Boy are they going to be pissed when he doesn't build a wall. You can just tunnel under a stupid wall. Or come on a visitors visa and overstay.

And everyone doing that so far is a hliary supporter.......nice try.....

And those who didn't actually vote...are on the payroll of bob craemer and scott foval working for the Democrat national committee and they get their spray paint paid for and the targets for the swasitikas provided by bob craemer and scott foval....

But it isn't just us liberals

Ms. Haley called out Mr. Trump in January when she gave the official Republican rebuttal to President Obama’s State of the Union address, and she later took him to task for his failure to condemn groups like the Ku Klux Klan.

“Some people think that you have to be the loudest voice in the room to make a difference,” Ms. Haley said in the State of the Union rebuttal. “That is just not true. Often, the best thing we can do is turn down the volume.”

In a follow-up interview on the “Today” show on NBC, Ms. Haley — the daughter of immigrants from India — said, “Mr. Trump has definitely contributed to what I think is just irresponsible talk.”

Mr. Trump responded harshly to that address, calling her “weak” on immigration and noting that she had asked him for campaign contributions.

“She’s very, very weak on illegal immigration,” Mr. Trump said. “She’s very, very weak on illegal immigration. You can’t have that.”

The following month, she condemned Mr. Trump for not speaking out against white supremacy more forcefully.

Ms. Haley drew on South Carolina’s experience last year with the murder of nine African-Americans in a Charleston church, saying that was exactly the kind of hate that Mr. Trump refused to repudiate.

“The K.K.K. came to South Carolina from out of state to protest on our Statehouse grounds,” she said at a rally in Georgia. “I will not stop until we fight a man that chooses not to disavow the K.K.K. That is not a part of our party. That is not who we are.”

Supporters of Mr. Trump were angered that Ms. Haley called him out, and many took to Twitter and mocked her Indian heritage, making fun of her Indian given name. Some of that sentiment reappeared on social media once word began circulating that Ms. Haley was likely to be chosen to be part of the Trump administration.

I think Trump doesn't have a conservative bone in his body, and so when he needed to sound like a conservative, he sought out what he thought was the voice of the Right. He went to the owner of a popular right wing propaganda mill, Steve Bannon, who is actually the voice of the Alt-Right.

I pointed out in the past that Trump sounded like a liberal pretending to be a conservative. I used Ann Coulter as an example, saying that if she pretended to be a liberal and was asked what to do about ISIS, she would answer the way she thinks a liberal would answer, "I support ISIS, because I hate America." Of course, most liberals don't actually think that way, but Coulter thinks they do. And if you went far enough Left, you would find a tiny minority who do think that way.

Trump went to someone on the far Right, Steve Bannon, to try to sound like a conservative. Trump just parroted what Steve Bannon and his ilk were hand feeding to him. And now he is puzzled as to why Nazis and Klansmen love him!

Hitler liked neoclassical art.

Trump likes neoclassical art.

Therefore, Trump is the same as Hitler.

Punches, eggs thrown as protesters attack Trump supporters outside San Jose rally

Protests outside a Donald Trump rally in downtown San Jose spun out of control Thursday night when some demonstrators attacked the candidate's supporters.

Protesters jumped on cars, pelted Trump supporters with eggs and water balloons, snatched signs, and stole "Make America Great" hats off supporters' heads before burning them and snapping selfies with the charred remains.

Several people were caught on camera punching Trump supporters. At least one attacker was arrested, according to CNN, although police did not release much information.

[g5000]

It's all about the Mexicans and Muslims and homosexuals and blacks for Trump's Chumps.

It doesn't matter to them Trump is a New York limousine liberal with a long, long history of far left beliefs. All they cared about was the rhetoric parroted by him which was channeled through Trump's puerile skull by Alt-Right spokesman Steve Bannon and his ilk.

 

[jillian]

They say "Hail Trump Hail Victory" they said exactly the same about Hitler? Is Trump aware of that and you think he made them do it or he is not like that himself?

I tend to resent when anyone is called Hitler because it diminishes what hitler was. I hated it when the rightwingnut scum did it to Hillary Clinton and it shouldn't be done to Donald.... unloess he starts rounding up people and murdering them.

that said, it does look like he is going to try to turn this country over to white supremacists so they're all happy. fringe weirdos coming out of their holles.

"Is Trump the new Hitler?"


The ONLY dumb-as-dirt, ignorant, 'Forrest Gump-level' stupid M*er F*er who would ask this question is someone SO damn stupid, so damn Ignorant that they have NO CLUE who Hitler was, what Hitler stood for, what his goals were, what Hitler did, what atrocities he committed.

Such a person is not even worth seriously talking to.

I am SO tired of all the rabidly liberal partisan - and IGNORANT - Trump Haters who have continually been comparing Trump to Hitler because - AGAIN - it only exposes their overwhelming stupidity in regards to knowledge of History, specifically of Nazi Germany and Adolf Hitler.

I understand the intended hateful political rhetoric...but such a comparison only succeeds in intelligent people looking at those trying to make such a comparison and shake their heads and curse the deplorable, horrific public school system that could have produced such a flawed product!

And please do not think I am picking on liberals here - I am NOT. I am attempting to drive the point home that ANYONE who tries to make such a comparison of ANY current US politician to Hitler is an absolute IMBICILE.

Hitler was 'one of Satan's Minions' - there have only been a VERY FEW people on this Earth as EVIL - on such a massively large scale - as this man. Off the top of my head the few who immediately jump to mind are Pol Pot and Stalin.

Trying to declare / ask if Trump is the new 'Hitler' ... JUST because your candidate - Hillary Clinton lost another election - is on such an incredible magnitude scale of political / personal immaturity, sour-grapes, and ignorance that it is almost unimaginable!

SERIOUSLY!

Liberals aren't even exercising a little bit of 'sanity' / restraint by at least comparing Trump to a 'lesser-evil' - like Saddam Hussein. No, they are going for one of if not THE 'granddaddies / Mac-daddies of Evil to ever walk this Earth.

Yes it demonstrates the depths of which you hate this man, but it also exposes your complete ignorance of history, of Nazi German, and of Hitler himself.

As someone who was a history minor, one who LOVED studying all about WWII and all the leaders involved, I can confidently say while you may disagree with the man,on his worst day he could not / would not be 'Hitler'.

An Establishment Conservative's Guide To The Alt-Right

The alternative right, more commonly known as the alt-right, is an amorphous movement. Some — mostly Establishment types — insist it’s little more than a vehicle for the worst dregs of human society: anti-Semites, white supremacists, and other members of the Stormfront set. They’re wrong.

Previously an obscure subculture, the alt-right burst onto the national political scene in 2015. Although initially small in number, the alt-right has a youthful energy and jarring, taboo-defying rhetoric that have boosted its membership and made it impossible to ignore.

It has already triggered a string of fearful op-eds and hit pieces from both Left and Right: Lefties dismiss it as racist, while the conservative press, always desperate to avoid charges of bigotry from the Left, has thrown these young readers and voters to the wolves as well.

National Review attacked them as bitter members of the white working-class who worship “father-Führer” Donald Trump. Betsy Woodruff of The Daily Beast attacked Rush Limbaugh for sympathising with the “white supremacist alt-right.” BuzzFeed begrudgingly acknowledged that the movement has a “great feel for how the internet works,” while simultaneously accusing them of targeting “blacks, Jews, women, Latinos and Muslims.”

The amount of column inches generated by the alt-right is a testament to their cultural punch. But so far, no one has really been able to explain the movement’s appeal and reach without desperate caveats and virtue-signalling to readers.


Part of this is down to the alt-right’s addiction to provocation. The alt-right is a movement born out of the youthful, subversive, underground edges of the internet. 4chan and 8chan are hubs of alt-right activity. For years, members of these forums – political and non-political – have delighted in attention-grabbing, juvenile pranks. Long before the alt-right, 4channers turned trolling the national media into an in-house sport.

Having once defended gamers, another group accused of harbouring the worst dregs of human society, we feel compelled to take a closer look at the force that’s alarming so many. Are they really just the second coming of 1980s skinheads, or something more subtle?

We’ve spent the past month tracking down the elusive, often anonymous members of the alt-right, and working out exactly what they stand for.

THE INTELLECTUALS
There are many things that separate the alternative right from old-school racist skinheads (to whom they are often idiotically compared), but one thing stands out above all else: intelligence. Skinheads, by and large, are low-information, low-IQ thugs driven by the thrill of violence and tribal hatred. The alternative right are a much smarter group of people — which perhaps suggests why the Left hates them so much. They’re dangerously bright.

The origins of the alternative right can be found in thinkers as diverse as Oswald Spengler, H.L Mencken, Julius Evola, Sam Francis, and the paleoconservative movement that rallied around the presidential campaigns of Pat Buchanan. The French New Right also serve as a source of inspiration for many leaders of the alt-right.

The media empire of the modern-day alternative right coalesced around Richard Spencer during his editorship of Taki’s Magazine. In 2010, Spencer founded AlternativeRight.com, which would become a center of alt-right thought.
