Referred to Democrats with this lovely claim of unity. Right here on Democratic Underground.
Wow.

Considering who Trumps base is, we need to be aware of who is advocating for or against any Democrat on this site.
The arrogance of this poster to say what they did, makes me sick.

This is the reference as posted about Democrats.
"ein volk ein führer "


Good luck tonight MIRT.

Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Führer.
One of the Nazis' most-repeated political slogans was Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Führer – "One People, One Empire, One Leader".

Bendersky says the slogan "left an indelible mark on the minds of most Germans who lived through the Nazi years.
Führer - Wikipedia
Wikipedia › wiki › Führer

**And many more with refs to Hitler's use of it.
Its blatantly Nazi & anyone who knows world politics today should never repeat it as a slur to Democracy.

**Take your pick:

**Here is Trump's ref to the slogan as he spoke at the Value Voters Summit.
https://www.inquisitr.com/3497058/did-donald-trump-paraphrase-hitlers-slogan-ein-volk-ein-reich-ein-fuhrer-at-values-voters-summit/

I question the legitimacy of the poster who defended their use of it when confronted.

Good luck tonight MIRT.

Sometimes we get caught up in talking in abbreviations and jargon and assume that everyone else knows what we mean. Never be apologetic about asking questions. The only bad question is the one that's never asked.

They are volunteers who serve for 3 months. I did it awhile back. Big political days bring out the troublesome looking to cause issues
