What is stopping it?

Literally everything that has happened since trump took over is exactly what happened in the early stages of hitler.

This is what we mean when we try to explain what TDS is.

1) Hitler never won a straight majority in a fair election.

2) Hitler used power to get a new election immediately after, and used a fabricated crisis to start jailing political opponents. He had parliament vote the emergency by forcibly keeping opponing members of parliament out

There was widespread violence countrywide targeting political opponents, with law enforcement letting it go past.

Nothing even vaguely similar happened with Trump. At all. In the slightest. There is nothing that compares.

You just dislike the fully democratically voted for, and constitutionally allowed, policies of trump, and you want to claim that is anti -democratic.

You simply are disgusted by democracy and against it everytime the people don't agree with you

Sean 'Diddy' Combs did very well in the verdict.

Anyone have a guess what kind of jail time Combs is gonna get?

Could walk with time served

Then they started arbitrarily rejecting citizenships

Guess what happened after that? Increased SS funding and support and throwing people in camps

We are ****ed. Well and truly ****ed

Hitler used law enforcement illegally so trump increasing law enforcement funding for a purely legal endeavor (deporting illegals) is the same.

Got it.


You know what the only proper parallel with Hitler can be for Trump? That he got to power thanks to disastrous inflation caused by the mistakes of his predecessors

Got it.

You have no clue what they will do with 13x the annual budget for ICE.

The implications so far are that they WILL do many illegal things and make many mistakes and wont give a ****

I watched a documentary last night on Hannah Arendt. I had never heard of her.

The parallels of early nazi germany and current U.S. is mind blowing. The first thing hitler did was start rounding up immigrants.

She had lots of notable quotes, but I like this one.

I wouldn't worry too much myself until/unless he starts rounding up citizen's guns. He'd most certainly get a lot of help from the Left on that project.

Calling the inflation "disastrous" is silly. Not nearly as bad as 1970's inflation, for example. And inflation by 2024 was very, very low.

To believe trump isnt responsable for inflation too is funny.

And you are a hypocritical moron who goes to bat for Luciom constantly implying that you broadly agree with his nonsense

Luciom thinks youre a rube who deserves to get fleeced

Just like you going to bat for Trump. Trump literally despises people like you


by Luciom

I don't call democrats marxists generically though. I call people who explicitly endorse marxist ideas, marxists. On both sides. I called Carlson a marxist because he is for example. At least for some stuff ofc. Bannon is a leninist (*and he self identified as such in the past*).

And yet you reject people when they call u fascist when u promote fascist ideas….

dont do to others what you wouldn’t like to be done to you by others is a concept u should look into .
It’s a an amazing idea.

Your constitution.

Literally everything that has happened since trump took over is exactly what happened in the early stages of hitler.

You haven't had the equivalent of the Reichstag fire. Nor has the current admin signed into law forced sterilisation, like the Nazis did in 1933, which was the early stages of Hitler.

Trump will be gone in 3.5 years. He won't be able to declare himself supreme leader for life, even if deep down he'd probably really like to. In the meantime, you won't start forcing people to wear yellow labels and sticking them in extermination camps.
You're not going like Nazi Germany and no offence, but such a fear seems a shade melodramatic.

I try to "eat the meat and spit out the bones" for Luciom and anyone else.

I even think a small number of your posts aren't ridiculous! (I've even clicked 'like' on a number of them.)

I literally don't care what Trump or Luciom or you or anyone else in this forum thinks about me.

Why would I?


I think the statement "your country is only going to go half nazi so you are being melodramatic" should be challenged

Even going 10% nazi is too much nazi and should be rejected with every ounce of being


So far the president has defied the constitution and the Supreme Court has supported him in doing so, so I don't think that piece of paper will prevent anything.

Well said.

Trump had the means, motive and opportunity to declare martial law during the 2020 riots. He didn't.

I do think you're getting more authoritarian and populist. That's a far cry from Nazi Germany though. I absolutely agree with your last sentence and in many ways this is the crux of the matter, as that's why I'm quite confident Trump will be gone in 3.5 years. The American people rightly regard freedom as sacrosanct. If Trump tried messing with that, I think it's extraordinarily likely it would lead to civil war and I suspect such a civil war would be more akin to the Irish troubles- a grind of paramilitary violence lasting several years, combined with states actually seceding.

I just tend to find comparisons with Nazi Germany or even Putin's Russia melodramatic personally. That said it's not my country, so it's easier for me to see things in a more detached manner. But I certainly understand American fears re the authoritarianism aspect anyway.

If Trump tried suspending the constitution/declaring himself Der Fuhrer, you'd very probably- even almost certainly- have another Jan 06, only this time it wouldn't be by the Maga crowd, but by those who hold democracy and freedom sacred.

Because that is what politics is. You support people who respect your wants and needs.

You've made it abundantly clear that you dislike me disliking Luciom being a white supremacist fascist more than you dislike Luciom being a white supremacist fascist. Not sure how people are supposed to interpret that but it just makes me think you are probably a white supremacist and possibly a fascist

And you might remember that you are the one who insisted on creating this dynamic between us because of the point above.

Dunno about that. He's served only around 10 months, give or take and the charges he was convicted on carry a potential of 10 years. He'll get the credit for time served, but I presume it's a Federal conviction and if so, he'll have to do 85% of whatever he's sentenced to.

It amazes me he declares himself a Christian, even more so that from his quoting of certain prayers, he appears to have been originally Catholic. He earlier claimed he was born again and that lot are on the weirder end of things.
