    That’s because he aspires to be like Hitler , a strongman criminal like Putin.

    In fact, Trump was an intel source for FSB( former KGB) for years helping Putin start the war on Ukraine by withholding funds to help Ukraine and allowing Putin to access top secret information gathered by US regarding Ukraine

    There is a reason Republicans keep saying “the U.S. is not a democracy, it is a republic”. If you are going to try to take something away from people, the first step is to convince them that it wasn’t really there in the first place.

    Days after Trump won the Iowa GOP caucus, white supremacist leader Nick Fuentes spoke out about his loyalty to Trump — while giving a Nazi salute and discussing his willingness to commit extrajudicial violence for “Supreme Leader Trump.”

  3. Very_Nice_Zombie on

    Not a day goes by where I’m not utterly amazed that 70 million fucking morons think this orange turd is their savior.

    Every. Fucking. Day.

  4. americanweebeastie on

    DJT never read the US CONSTITUTION to the level of understanding it… and yet he has opinions on remarkably hateful and obscure law?

    let’s be real… the only part he understands is the hate.

    Exactly WHO is feeding this mushroom all this bullshit?

  5. When someone checks the box for Trump, who said immigrants are poisoning the blood of our nation and said immigrants have “bad genes”, they’re checking the box for a Nazi. There’s no sugar coating it. Trump is a dangerous human being who can never be let near the Oval Office again.

    Some forget it was not that long ago in American history, 1942 – 1946, when we had the Japanese internment camps. About 120,000 people of Japanese descent were forcibly relocated and incarcerated in ten concentration camps. About 80,000 of those detained were second generation American born Japanese with US citizenship. Really stunning this happened on American soil.

    Remember Ken Cuccinelli’s name? He was the guy who served as the Acting Director of the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services for the Trump administration in 2019. Cuccinelli has spent his career advocating for and advancing extreme conservative policies, especially anti-immigration and anti-LGBTQ agendas. Now we know Cuccinelli authored the Department of Homeland Security chapter of Project 2025’s Mandate for Leadership. Think Trump’s administration’s immigration policies on steroids.

    This is not about responsible, coherent immigration policy. This is about cruel and unusual punishment being used against women, children and families. Vote Democrat down the ballot.

  6. No_Opinion_8434 on

    HOW. HOW is someone we are literally comparing to Hitler allowed to run in this election. What happened to “Never again”? I hope his SS detail fucks up again.

  7. Don’t think all this happened overnight. Those who are scratching their head wondering how can so many Americans be in favor of somebody that would shred the Constitution, lock up immigrants and do all these dastardly things. This has been in the planning for well over 50 years. It started with the shredding of the Fairness Doctrine, eliminating civics in schools, and the consolidation of media into six major corporations so that 90% of what passes for news in this country is held by oligarchs. Throw in the Calvinists who think that God only talks to them and a nice helping of the Nazis, White supremacists, misogynists, homophobes, etc., and you have a nice mix for supporting Donald Trump AKA narcissistic psychopathic grifter.

  8. And when he gets attacked people think it’s because of the language used surrounding him. Do they just want to pretend he’s not acting like Hitler? 

  9. Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act echoes dark times in history, risking the targeting of innocent immigrants and fostering a climate of fear and division.

  10. MaximumManagement765 on

    Trump has never made a secret of his admiration of hitler. Trump is openly fascist and racist.

  11. And then when another republican takes a pop shot at him he can continue to blame the dems. Dude literally wants to put political supporters in camps if they disagree with him. 6 months ago people said I was being over the top when I said it.

    Well here ya fuckin go.

    Vote ! Please for the love of god vote!

  12. This has Stephen Miller all over it.

    Half that guys job is to figure out legal theories that can be used to justify warping the country into a totalitarian shithole controlled by his god-king.

  13. StreetRude7351 on

    Hitler did the same thing in 1934 abused the law to become chancellor of Germany by doing everything that the Republican party says is going on right now using the courts and his failed candidacy to commit the worst atrocities in human history.

  14. I know it’s a jump but it’s one the Republicans would make in ads

    Will the people who are gathering the immigrants for camps actually care if they are using citizens or born here? You know they would put born Latinos if they done show documents immediately. How many kids would be thrown in.

    Why Dems are running on this, I don’t know

    December 20, 2023 [Mike Godwin who created Godwin’s Law: Yes, it’s okay to compare Trump to Hitler. Don’t let me stop you.](https://archive.ph/1x5OZ) When people draw parallels between Donald Trump’s 2024 candidacy and Hitler’s progression from fringe figure to Great Dictator, we aren’t joking. Those of us who hope to preserve our democratic institutions need to underscore the resemblance before we enter the twilight of American democracy.

  16. -misanthroptimist on

    Yes, gather us together in one place. I’m sure that will work out for you, TraitorTot.

    Now way back in the olden days, when I was in the Army, we took an Oath to defend the Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic.

    Things that make you go, hmm….

  17. Vitaminpartydrums on

    Didn’t his VP call him “America’s Hitler”?

    (He posted sarcastically, well aware that Vance absolutely called him that)

  18. Serious_Hour9074 on

    He’s probably worse than Hitler. Trump should probably be the new standard of evil, for humanity.

  19. The Supreme Court says Biden has Presidential immunity. Why isn’t he putting Trump in Guantánamo Bay!

  20. The unfortunate answer that we as predominantly millennials can’t really grasp is “the youth”.

    When we were the youth, the youth was super progressive and left wing, while our parents were basically a generation of mostly brainwashed Reaganites.

    Now the kids are coming up and they’ve got their Andrew Tates and their Tim Pools, they think just because ideas are tenacious they’re therefore worthwhile, they learn nothing in school because the right wing took over their school boards, they don’t know that they’re turkeys voting for Thanksgiving, and well dang it just sucks to be that angry old guy screaming “damn you stupid fucking kids”.

    Never thought it would be me.

  21. Trump is not competent enough in law or history to think of this himself. You vote for him, you vote for the people pulling the strings, and the vision they have for all of us (including the useful idiot MAGAs) is extremely grim. Not a hyperbole. Wish I was blissfully ignorant and had an IQ below 100 so I could sleep at night not knowing what barbarism will be unleashed should he get re-elected.

  22. Openly talking about resurrecting the darkest moments of your nation’s history should be disqualifying, no?

  23. I’ve compared him to Hitler since trump attempted a coup in 2021 and failed. Recall that Hitler attempted a coup in 1923 and failed.

    OTOH, Germany imprisoned Hitler for that coup within months while the USA has not even had a trial for trump for his coup after almost 4 years. So the comparison isn’t perfect.

  24. Notthefbioryourmom on

    Yeah, because he is Hitler. Dude is following his exact play book. I hate that it has to be this black and white but at this point it is.

    If you support the Republican Party at this election, YOU are a fascist terrorist.

    Did everyone forget that he was sterilizing women in modern day concentration camps during his last presidency. I’m sorry, but how the absolute fuck are you going to say you’re pro life and look that over. Because you aren’t pro life. You’re just a piece of shit.

    If god was real, he sure as fuck wouldn’t have sent you a geriatric orange communist as your savior. If you buy his “bible” (mind you he is JEWISH and not a Christian), you’re literally by your own definition a blasphemous cuck.

    I don’t believe in god because I’m not a literal caveman, but I genuinely hope he’s real so your asses burn in hell.
