(Trump doesn't have a clue....says Stu.)............
When it gets around that Donald Trump Used one of Adolph Hitler's ideas, (his direct words)....Trump will
destroy himself....
.Of course, that will take a lot of time to get around, but using a HITLER QUOTE...IS A MISTAKE
IN MY OPINION... TOTAL MISTAKE::
(and in my opinion, Trump will be asked why he used a Hitler quote....and he cannot answer that one!)
YES......AT LINK BELOW:

We beat him before and the odds are we will again.`

Remember the internet meme Godwin's Law...the first one to resort to bringing up Hitler/nazis looses the argument?
I say the same thing goes for political candidates. It means they're desperate.
I just don't believe that there are more Americans who favor a Hitler-spouting, fascist wannabe than___ Americans who want to keep our democracy.
We beat that fat fu_k before all his legal problems and will again.

ExWhoDoesntCare
(4,741 posts)Because he's been aping or praising Hitler for many years now.
Calling the press enemies of the people is straight up out of the Hitler playbook. Discrediting experts and his other intellectual betters. Trashing entire swaths of the population, especially the brown ones.
But we can get more detailed, if you want. Like when he replicated the infamous Nazi 'blood and soil' rhetoric at CPAC:
And this redux of the 'stab in the back' whinging that Hitler resorted to when he didn't have minorities to hate on:
https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/us-politics/donald-trump-cpac-speech-b2140629.html
And then there's his love of what his ignorance thinks about Hitler's 'command' of the military:

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jul/06/donald-trump-hitler-michael-bender-book
And of course but one of his many displays of admiration for white supremacists:
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-53212685
So why be surprised when a blatant Nazi escalates the Nazi rhetoric?

(115,833 posts)Maybe the media are starting to notice a bit more, but this really isn't new. Problem is, his base likes it. Hitler couldn't have been Hitler without a lot of help, and there are a fair number of Americans - just like there were a fair number of Germans - who want a leader who's a bully and an autocrat. During the '30s the Nazis had a lot of support among Americans; read Rachel Maddow's new book Prequel and it will curl your hair. Too many people liked, and still like, the Nazis' notion of government. Don't assume that TFG's Hitler-ish remarks will bring him down as long as they are effective applause lines at his rallies.

(53,841 posts)We beat him before and will do it again. He can keep spewing Hitlerisms all he wants as that's just preaching to his extreme maga crowd. as that kind of evil negativity is not gaining any votes

(2,542 posts)They may say "I don't like the man, but I like his policies"; however, if you vote for someone who caters to Nazis and white supremacists, you are supporting their causes as well.
You might not like filthy liberals and what they stand for - but we're a whole hell of a lot better for America and Americans than the group that wants to destroy the vermin.

(36,509 posts)Yeah, I've heard that from a few people I used to admire & respect. Now I just SMDH & wonder what the fuck happened that they can't see what he really is or they can't admit they were conned. Either way, I thought they were better than that.

(61,703 posts)It turns out that they never really cared about any of that. Here's what they care about: taxes.
They want lower taxes. They want no government "interference" with how they run their businesses. And a lot of them are very racist.
That's why they'll vote for Trump.

(4,741 posts)They would be fine with a dictator, no matter what. It's not ignorance that has them supporting authoritarian rule. It's what they really want.
If you're a straight, right wing WASP male with enough wealth, you'll probably be fine. Plenty of people living under a dictatorship go on living normal lives. In fact, the more you conform to the dictator's ideal, the less the dictatorship will affect your life.
The sad reality for why so many dictatorships persist is that a dictator can stay in power as long as *enough* people are fat, dumb and happy under his rule.

(842 posts)While he resided in the White House, DjT stated that there were 'good people' among those in a Charlottesville march who shouted 'Jews will not replace us'.
His praise and encouragement of neo-Nazis and dictators, such as Putin, has continued and accelerated ever since.
There is only one 2024 presidential candidate who sincerely represents American democracy... He will, with our unflinching support, be re-elected by a big 💙 wave.

(38,439 posts)....When the word gets around that Trump is a "True Fascist" and supports Adolph Hitler, then how many will support him then?
Will Trump say he supports Hitler?....Then, Why use his words?....Tough Answer to That Question...What do you think?

sarisataka
(18,767 posts)Even if he did quote Hitler (he didn't) what gives the notion any of his base would turn from him?
Stuart G
(38,439 posts)But that will take a lot of time. When people point out that Trump is using Hitler's style...then after a while, people
will turn from him.......
When close friends tell supporters that ...Trump is using the, "Style of Adolph Hitler." that is when people will turn from
Trump. When the media points that out also, then there will be 2 sources of that opinion. If there are many other
sources that Trump is using " Hitler's Style" then over time people will see that truth.
sarisataka
(18,767 posts)As you repeatedly claim.
He has been using the "strong man style" (it isn't unique to nor originated with Hitler) all along.
He pushes the envelope to see what he can get away with. If there is push back he retreats and claims he didn't say what he said. (Sony, can't think of an example at the moment) As for calling people vermin, there was barely a ripple.

(38,439 posts)In the end...20 percent will........".NOT WIN AN ELECTION"
When people point out that Trump is a supporter of ..".Facism" and friends and family point that out also, Trump's support
will go down to 20 percent or less. Especially when Facism is exposed as the ideas of Adolph Hitler.

(1,531 posts)Stuart G
(38,439 posts)that he may retain 20 percent of the electorate in the United States, but many Trumpers do not know the connection
between Hitler and Fascism, and they do not know what Fascism is/was.
......................When that is exposed as the truth...then that is when Trump will go down to 20 percent.......
........................And it will take time to get down to 20 percent. And with 20 percent Trump will not win any election ever.
ALSO, MOST PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW WHAT FACISM IS/WAS AND HOW IT DEVELOPS. AS THAT INFORMATION GETS
OUT AND PEOPLE TALK ABOUT IT...FRIEND TO FRIEND...THAT IS WHEN TRUMP WILL GET DOWN TO 20 PERCENT.
THIS IS NOT 1948...when everyone knew what fascism was/is.........................................
THIS IS 2023..........NOT EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT FASCISM, AND NOT EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT HITLER EITHER.
(IN RUSSIA 27 MILLION WERE KILLED BY WWII AND HITLER....EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT THAT WAR AND ITS
AFFECTS ON PEOPLE, AND EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT HITLER DID AND KILLED )
NOT EVERYONE IN THE UNITED STATES KNOWS, BUT JEWISH PEOPLE KNOW BECAUSE OF WHAT HITLER DID
TO JEWS. ( IT COMES WITH OUR UPBRINGING AND OUR HISTORY)

(3,503 posts)That motherfucker has a 50/50 shot at winning the Presidency back next year. All this talk of him being done is so ridiculous. Even if he were somehow to be jailed, which he wont be no matter what, he can still win.
Thats how crazy this country is. Thats how misguided and ridiculous it is.
Using a Hitler quote is nothing compared to actually attempting a coup and it seems to have phased no one.
Were stuck with this asshole in some form until hes no more.
Stuart G
(38,439 posts)When the 2024 election is ongoing, that is when all the crap that Trump caused will be exposed again. I don't think
Trump will get nominated by the Republican Party no matter what happens. Why?...........................................
..................Here is reason why................During an election every bad thing that a candidate did is exposed.
.....................DONALD TRUMP CAUSED A RIOT TO WIN AN ELECTION THAT HE LOST.....
now....if you don't think that will be exposed again, and again, and again..........then you don't know what elections do or
say....Every bad thing that a person does is exposed again at election time. If not in the exact news, then in talk about
the election... We know that Trump caused a riot and sat in front of the TV and watched the riot....it is common news..
That will all come out again if Trump runs. It won't be nice ads about Donald Trump....Those ads will be as mean
as one could imagine to destroy Trump's chances of winning the election. Yes, that is what our side will do in
an election with Trump. Trump will play dirty, so we will play dirty and mean too.
BlueTsunami2018
(3,503 posts)I mean, people on the left do but none of the Republicans do, certainly not the cult, and independents are generally wishy washy idiots. Thats all yesterdays news to the general public.
And hes definitely getting the GOP nomination, theres no one even close to him. He wins that in a walk. Anyone who dares oppose him gets politically whacked. You really think Republicans will deny him the nod at the convention after he crushes in delegates? No chance.
Yeah, ads from our guys are going to focus on how horrible he is but thats what people like about him. You know the public, theyre sick of hearing about it all and they dont know what to believe. The misinformation campaign has worked wonderfully.
The election is basically a coin flip no matter what happens. And its terrifying.

(4,616 posts)We already saw "the end of Trump." It was the Access Hollywood tape. No wait, it was it the mocking of a disabled reporter. No no, it was attack of a gold star family. Nope, it was the mocking of John McCain being a POW. Shit, that wasn't it it either. Oh I know, it was the divulging of classified info to the Russians in the Oval Office! Yeah that was it. No wait....fuck ..I'm done!
inthewind21
(4,616 posts)he did not use a "direct quote". He used "similar language". That's like saying I used IS in a statement and then claiming I directly quoted Hitler because he also used IS in statements! Trump did NOTHING he hasn't been doing all along.
