A 20th Century psychological profile, just as scarily relevant today...

{Hitler's psychological profile in a report prepared during the war by the United States Office of Strategic Services. }

It is like the orange arsehole intentionally lends himself to a mass murdering dictators strategy for domination... heh.

1. The Mango Mussolini. Dear Leader Don Ill Dong of the Turd Reich. . . nt

2. Trump, nothing. That quote fits the entire Conservative Movement

And without several decades of their diligent implementation of what's described in that quote, Trump wouldn't matter to anybody except the idiots who gave him their money.

[Farmer-Rick]

3. Here is a major difference between the 2 psychopaths

The German people loved Hitler.

Not all of them, but the great majority. I think in the last unmanipulated vote, only 1/6 or about 17% of the people did not vote for Hitler. However there were some areas that 30% of the German people did not vote for him. But many of those who voted against Hitler, liked him. They did not approve of his brown shirts and scribbled that on their ballots.

Contrast that with Traitor Trump. He didn't even win the majority of the vote. He never broke a 50% approval rate and everyone makes fun of him. He is widely hated and ridiculed. People really hate Dumpy no matter how much propaganda the GOP, government stooges and Fox spew, a majority of people dislike Trumpy and won't/didn't vote for the psychopath.

Is shorty Putin and the GOP enough to turn the US into a dictatorship under Trumpy Dumpy? I sure as hell hope not.

And also, Hitler was smart. He may have been crazy, but he was intelligent. Not Dumpy.

4. Looking forward to the day when 45 bunkers down!

[wnylib]

7. I wish. But I just can't see him doing that.

Der fuhrer actually believed in what he was doing. Trump has no beliefs. A fanatical true believer bunkers down like Adolf did when he loses.

A sociopathic narcissist like Trump would escape with everything not nailed down when he sees himself losing. If unable to escape, he would take down everyone with him -- not just his loyal fools, but as many of the "enemy" as possible. That would be his way of justifying in his mind that he did not really lose if he could destroy others in the process of going down.

[usaf-vet]

8. Oh yes, if history provides any evidence...warning DO NOT GO INTO THE BUNKER WITH 45!

[BuffaloJackalope]

5. Really, that's the GOP from when Gingrich was in charge.

They picked up the Nazi playbook 30 yrs ago and haven't put it down.

12. It goes back fifty years to Nixon and his gang of criminals.

The clear intent of the Republican Party's leadership and think tanks is determined to transform the presidency into a virtual dictatorship under the guise of the nebulous claim of the Unitary Executive Theory that would provide the president with unlimited power over every branch of government. The raft of recent judgeships are all drawn from the Federalist Society roster. It is most notable that the Attorney General. Barr, who is a prominent member and a vocal advocate for this transformation of the presidency.

I was disgusted by the Mueller's handling of the aftermath of the investigation. Just how can he without any hesitation from the evidence proclaim that Trump was not guilty of conspiracy with the Russians during the election and then that the same evidence that unquestionably demonstrated that Trump and his gang of hoodlums were guilty of obstruction and not have arrived at the conclusion of guilt. The statement that this did not exonerate him of possible guilt denied logic and totally defused the charges. His feeble attempt to cover his ass after being subjected to questioning of why he was not speaking out with a bland announcement was revolting at best. it couldn't be that his family and the Barr family are joined at the evangelical hip and just where does he stand on the issue of the claim of presidential unlimited power?

6. Folks - this is a planned feature with drumpf, not an accidental flaw.

The only book he ever studied in his life was Hitlers collected speeches - he read them every night for 1 0 years per Ivanna. He knows Hitler, studied him & is emulating him - locking up over 26,000 children. The worst is yet to come if he escapes impeachment - it will be all out war on our country & it's election systems will be Russia's playthings and our country will be gone. I keep hoping some more 1st hand incriminating info will come out that even repugs can't deny. But then again, they already have more than enough and they are just being willing stooges & traitors.

[wnylib]

11. Brace yourself, then, because he WILL escape

impeachment. I don't think any of us are naive enough to believe that the Senate will convict him.

I am sure he will retaliate and will be even more arrogant, if that is possible. Exactly what he will do in arrogant. retaliation, I'm not sure. But it will not be nice.

IMO, how successfully he retaliates will depend on how many of the general public we convince of his crimes during the hearings and the trial. If enough people continue to resist him and to protest, we might limit tge damage he does.

[lark]

13. Oh, I do expect him to not be removed by russian repug senators.

But - if enough information comes out about the tons of crimes drumpf commits on an annual basis, it could make a difference. If the wave is big enough, it could swamp the russians ratfucking. Yeah, it's a long shot, but it's the only shot this country has. If drumpf wins again and keeps the Senate, we are doomed as a country. I'm old and have significant health issues, so would make a terrible street fighter.

So hoping and praying for sanity and good results while trying to figure out what we will do if hate and greed steal our country.

[wnylib]

14. There sre many ways to resist and to help

in resistance besides being a street fighter. I'm in the same boat on age.

[lark]

15. Before my critical accidents, I was a very active volunteer for the FL Dem party.

I have called, walked streets, waved signs, wrote letters, called representatives and participated in meetings and we are still where we are. We were able to flip our county blue for the first time since Clinton, but the state R's still ratfucked and put Scott and DeSantis into office by not counting 42 boxes of ballots in Broward county where Dems took 74% of the vote. If those were counted, Nelson wins and Scott loses and even possible DeSantis would have lost. I am getting close to being able to participate again, but right now am depressed that none of this makes a difference when a foreign country and a political party conspire together to keep the rich in power and give them ever more power and making us - the working class - much poorer and less healthy and in greater danger than ever before.

Sorry to be a downer, I'm sure I'll have a better attitude as I get stronger and feel better and when I can return to my volunteer role.

[wnylib]

17. Sorry to hear about the medical problems and

how hard it is to clean uo the.political mess there. Totally understandable that it can be discouraging.

When you're well enough, maybe you can make calls and write letters again, even if you can't go door to door. And even when it seems nothing comes from activist efforts, there are likely people that you inspired aa an example, or even some people whose views you influenced with letters and calls without knowing it.

Thanks for all you have done and good wishes for your health.

9. Hitler: A Study In Tyranny

by Alan Bullock was a post-war interpretation of Hitler. It was a massive book, but there is an abridged version in paperback. It remains the authoritative Hitler book by which all others are measured. I know there is a page in the abridged version that could be used to describe Trump, but I can't locate it right now. Bullock was a British historian, history professor at Oxford, and researched for Winston Churchill in the 1930s.

10. Great summary.

[Wounded Bear]

16. Authoritarians throughout history have used a similar playbook...

in modern times, it's just been sped up and amplified by technology.
