Hitler dismantled democracy in 53 days. What is your prediction with Trump?

Anyone denying it is either a fool or a liar. Then again, these people knew what he was and vote for him anyway because they LIKED this sort of thing.

History will remember them very, very poorly. In a few decades no one will ever admit to have voted for him.

I would stop invoking Hitler to try to explain how Trump could be leading us towards authoritarianism, it’s quite extreme and as others have said offensive to many. I would say a more modern day example would be Russia.

+1 The EOs were written by 22 y/o with no work experience.

I would say it’s tiresome, but really, it’s mostly just funny to watch the same hysterics every few years.

Pal, this ain't hysterics! The a$$hat is dismantling everything. If you aren't terrified then you're a party to this crazy man.

You all have cried wolf for so many years, why are we supposed to believe you this time?

Are you familiar with that fable? the boy, the one who cried wolf , did indeed get eaten by a wolf b/c he'd lied so many times that noone believed him when the wolf actually came.

Please provide evidence of this or shut up. You are making it up.

It's all they've got so they're gonna ride it into the sunset.

Well that, and jumping on every thread and yelling "WHAT ABOUT THE PRICE OF EGGS?!?"

Yep and the eggs have nothing to do with Trump or Biden…it’s bird flu.

Yes, we dems are intelligent enough to have predicted before the election that Trump could not bring egg prices down.

MAGA was too stupid to realize that. They actually believed his obvious lies.

Please. All the people you mentioned would be called RINOs by the MAGAs. This isn’t about differences in political views. It’s way beyond it.

And, you an idiot because Trump is about as close to Hitler as this country has ever seen. He wants to murder everyone who doesn't worship him.

Yes, he is letting go of Bolton’s security detail out of spite. We know Iran plans to kill him. And all the crazies saying Bishop Budde is not a real bishop - I am afraid one of his proud boy militia will hurt her or the church.

Has Trump imprisoned legislators?

Other presidents have.

Has Trump suspended haebeas corpus?

Other presidents have?

Has Trump thrown citizens into internment camps?

Other presidents have.

Sounds like other presidents have been closer to Hitler.

Please provide examples in site your sources

Are you joking? Please go read a history book. Or just Google. These are not obscure references. -DP

Please get back to me when he starts marching citizens to the gas chambers.

Until then, STFU.

Look at you living your best life just pretending there weren’t any steps that occurred prior to the final solution.

MAGA has zero understanding of the decade before the gas chambers. The only thing they know about Hitler is “Jews” and “gas chambers.”

You could start be reading the EOs and listening to his actual statements in full.

None of those (besides Trump):

Said they were okay with terminating the Constitution.

Called an election fraudulent and attempted to overthrow it both politically and by inciting violence.

Tried to get state officials to find them more votes.

Said that if they were elected voters would never have to vote again.

Had a Supreme Court decision putting the President above the law.

Trump was a threat to democracy his first term, he was just too inept to break through all the guard rails, but he managed to tear down enough to clear the way this term. Our democracy has held because of checks and balances, but there’s not much left to check his power. The other two branches of government shirked their responsibilities in favor of self-interest and then voters returned him to power (along with his MAGA supporters in Congress). That leaves us with a bureaucracy that he is dismantling, a polarized media that is so biased on both sides that it has lost most of the trust it once had, and a military whose leadership he is trying to replace with loyalists, putting into question whether they would defy illegal orders from their Commander-in-Chief in defense of their oath to the Constitution - and military coups aren’t typically known for restoring democracy.

I fervently hope that I am wrong and my fears turn out to be needless paranoia. I would be thrilled if time proves me wrong. But portraying fears about this particular president as “business as usual” is deliberately misleading. Trump’s own words and deeds have laid the basis for suspicion. It may be traditional for liberals to accuse conservatives of being fascists (and conservatives to accuse liberals of being communists), but with Trump you have many conservatives (including myself) saying that this man represents a threat to democracy.

It’s a great way to enter a war with Iran. Bet Trump will order some agency to kill him as a loyalty test and blame it on Iran.

Are we placing bets? He won't do it quicker so let's go with just under a year. Just in time for him to die from the next virus that gets us or a heart attack.
