NYT: "Hitler Tamed by Prison"

[kpete]

We’re divided between those who are okay with fascism and political violence and those who want to protect and strengthen our democracy. Do pay attention.

?1610771341

......Both sides-ing a sustained assault on democracy, freedom, decency and truth obscures the real truth–that we are in danger. And worse, it increases the danger by validating those who are responsible for the threat we face.

Only one party in America, the Republican Party, is responsible for the reality that our democracy is at risk. No Democrat nor the Democratic Party is responsible for that threat in any way. The division in our views does not alter that reality in the slightest…

Our democracy is at risk in part because our media is failing. Every rational voice with a platform–on social media, in newspapers, on TV–must speak up, make that clear, demand best practices. If not, unmoored from truth, we will soon lose the essence of what made the US great…..

1. So The NY Times was full of shit back then, too

Hardly surprising, I guess.

I'm reminded of Susan Collins stupid comment that Trump had learned his lesson following his first impeachment.

How can anyone ignore the existential threat that MAGA represents?

8. i think it's denial,

at least among those who are not part of the trump cult. there is unbelievably great resistance to admitting that the republican party is a thing of the past. as if it would be worse to admit that they've gone completely off the rails than to submit to an authoritarian state full of oppression, poverty, and untold suffering.

i have a friend who was a big fan of collins during the kavanaugh hearings. i told her she was full of shit but she could not be convinced that collins really does not give a flying fuck about the loss of reproductive rights. all she cares about is staying in office and being a republican. i don't know how she maintains an iota of credibility, but i'm literally afraid to ask my friend how she feels about her now, because i do truly value our friendship. she does not want to believe what is right in front of her eyes. I can still make an argument with her. She is moderate, but she clings to beliefs she held in a different America.

If we're talking about the trump cult, that's mental illness. very unhappy people void of empathy or generosity and full of racism, misogyny and grievance. for moderates like my friend, of which there are many, i can only conclude it's denial.

11. That makes sense. Susan is a 1920's kinda gal.

Actually, she's more nouveau Victorian than "flapper". Either way she should not be allowed within miles of political influence and responsibility.

2. "Tamed"......

Less than 20 years later - well over 100 million dead.

Well over millions injured, suffering, countries decimated.

Apparently the USA's corporate have not learned from history.

Fuck them.

3. President Biden spoke up and ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, and Fox broadcast re-runs.

4. Jan. 5 was just a dress rehearsal

5. Wow! Now that's a wake-up call.

6. Exactly the reason that Trump can't be released when he's convicted.

He must serve a life sentence.

[gab13by13]

7. He wrote Mein Kampf while he was in prison.

[jaxexpat]

12. Trump's autobiography would run more like "Mein Grand Theft"

Or, "the Fat Cat in the Comb-over".

[LeftInTX]

15. "Mein papers" or "Mein a lago"

[DBoon]

16. No, it will be titled, "Mein! Mein! Mein!"

[LeftInTX]

17. Lol!!!!!

[scipan]

18. Good one!

[Mad_Machine76]

9. I'll take

Things that didn’t age well at all for 1000

13. Really!

10. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread kpete

14. Is this the same NYT

that didn't alert the public to the longstanding corrupt nature of TFG in NYC and elsewhere during his first "campaign"? Did their pals on Wall Street pressure the NYT bosses to keep it quiet in hopes of getting an incompetent, lawless NY mob boss in the WH who would let them do anything?

[JanMichael]

19. Boy that article didn't age well. Talk about being WAY off.

I am hoping he expires from natural causes asap.

[LeftInTX]

22. Fortunately, Trump is closer to his expiration date than Hitler was

[Meowmee]

23. Yes we can only hope right?

[LeftInTX]

24. I don't know where that old fart gets all the energy for his rallies

Seriously, why can't he act his age and stay home?

[Meowmee]

25. Lol

Prolly from Adderall. I think he takes sudafed or another similar anti histamine as well. Hitler was on numerous drugs also.

Plus, a psychotic mind and whatever other conditions he may have often results in unreal manic energy. He feeds off of the supposed adulation of his cult and spewing hate at the rallies.

[Polybius]

26. Part of why he won in 2016 was because of it

His energy was greatly underestimated. He went to a shitload of states the final 3 weeks of that election.
