Because historically, we are in the early stages of the same path.

The following is from the Holocaust Museum:


Not many items on there that Trump doesn't brag about accomplishing when speaking at his nationalistic rallies.

No regime checks all the boxes. But let's take a look, from the top of my head...

The Chief Executive throwing a fit because some football players took a knee isn't a rather exceptional display of nationalism?

We just this week had the Vice President explain that we should obey because the administration was ordained by God to rule.

Identification of enemies as a unifying cause - oh, yes. "Lock her up!", for one. And if you don't see the sudden shift towards demonizing illegal immigrants, you have not been paying attention.

Disdain for intellectuals? Look at any thread mentioning a university on this board, for instance.

The corporate power is certainly protected. Labor movements have of course been dead in the US for decades, so how would we know?

Cronyism and corruption? FFS, the president himself is making a buck of the presidency, quite openly. Cronyism? His daughter and son-in-law are given posts.

We're not there yet, and as I said, that's not a checklist where you should expect all boxes neatly filled out.

Nobody but a small fringe of ultra-kooks believes any such thing.

the leftist swine such as Democrats and Sorros-followers say these things, but nobody believes it except for the aforementioned mentally-ill people.

Default Liberals have lost the debate: Leftist media, congressmen etc. fall to calling Republicans "Nazis" over and over

It has been a concensus among nearly everyone - people in media, elected office, and even social media - that if you call somebody a Nazi, it clearly signals that you have lost the debate. You have no further points to make or facts to cite. All you can do now is call people vile names, insult and smear them, call them Nazis, etc.

Now the Democrats and other leftist fanatics are giving us clear, in-person examples.

They have lost so many arguments, debates, and elections, that they have sunk to calling Republicans (including President Trump) "Nazis", screeching that his policies are little different from the worst atrocities of the Third Reich, and other preposterous slurs and insults.

It was just a matter of time. the Democrats have slid so far left, and have been defeated so many times, that their agenda contains no more positive plans or vision, nothing but hate and rage. Inevitably, the dam has started to crumble, as leftist rhetoric sinks to the bottom of the cesspool they now occupy - and kept going.

It's sad when a major political party's collapse reaches the point of no return. But necessary in this case. We have long been unable to trust the Democrat party to control the affairs of a major government. Now they have confirmed that evaluation in no uncertain terms.

NBC Seizes on Nazi Concentration Camp Comparisons

by Kyle Drennen | June 19, 2018 12:24 PM EDT

After cable news channels CNN and MSNBC made 22 references to Nazi concentration camps and other human rights atrocities during coverage of illegal immigrant detention centers along the U.S. southern border over the past few days, on Tuesday, NBC decided to join in touting the extreme rhetoric. Specifically, the Nazi death camp comparison was repeated four times in three hours, across two of its morning shows.

At the top of the Today show, NBC Nightly News anchor Lester Holt reported from the border and highlighted: “Some have argued that these detention centers are reminiscent of Japanese internment camps or even concentration camps in Nazi Germany. A comparison [Attorney General Jeff] Sessions rejects.”

In addition to NBC’s repetition of the Holocaust references on Tuesday, coverage on Monday’s Nightly News included a clip of Connecticut Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal making this vile declaration: “This policy of family separation reminds us of the cattle cars of Nazi Germany when children were separated from their parents. It reminds us of the Japanese internment camps.”

NBC wasn’t even the first broadcast network to seize on such comparisons. On ABC’s World News Tonight on Saturday, correspondent Stephanie Ramos touted: “The president catching heat on social media. Former CIA Director Michael Hayden, a trump critic, tweeting this picture of what looks like a Nazi concentration camp. Writing, ‘Other governments have separated mothers and children.’”

The response from Dane in LA is spot on.

But are you really going to say NONE of this has happened. If you can't check off more than half of those boxes, then you are not being honest with yourself.


And Fraudulent elections is, IMO the weakest point. Congrats for finding it. Even with that one, it is KNOWN that the elections were influenced by Russia, and it is being investigated whether or not Trump had any role at all; either passive or active.

I just re-read the list, and that is the ONLY point on the list that Trump has not made a highlight of his agenda. Do you want to argue his disdain for intellectuals and the arts? His sexism? His obsession with Nationalism? His protection of corporate power and interests?


Honestly, in most cases 70% is a passing grade. I challenge ANYONE to not give Trump at least 80% on this list. I bet he's FURTHER along than Hitler was in 1933 or so...
