Trump posts that people's fear that he's "Another Hitler" or a dictator Is "Reason for Hope"

The article described in this Meidas Touch piece is beyond nauseating.

Trump shared an unhinged, right wing article titled, "Trump's Virtues Part II" arguing that Trump's fighting against his political opponents, who the article called "America's enemies" and the "woke regime," takes precedence over concerns that Trump's not "a real conservative" or "a role model for children."

This section of Trump's shared article deemphasizes the need for Trump to have good character: "We shouldn’t much care whether our commander-in-chief is a real conservative, whether he is a role model for children or says lots of silly things, or whether he is modest or dignified. What we should care about is whether he knows we are in a war, knows who the enemy is, and knows how to win. Trump does."
...

Trump's shared article also turns the fear that voters have of Trump becoming "another Hitler" or a "dictator" into a positive "reason for hope." The writer says Trump's enemies "rightly fear" what he and his party will accomplish, calling it a "counterrevolution." Kind of sounds like an insurrection:

"His enemies hate him with an indescribable fierceness. “Another Hitler,” they say, “elect him and he will be a dictator.” We should take this hysteria as reason for hope. The America-haters rightly fear that he and his party are on the threshold of a successful counterrevolution."

It's just unfathomable how deranged his supporters are.

7. The way the right-wing dicktators would run the country and world, they expect to kill billions

not just millions.

Their intention is to save their lives in well supplied and barricaded fortresses/islands and let havoc and starvation decrease the world population to a more manageable size. Manageable with massive surveillance and militaries/military justice (sic).

Our neighborhood magats will go down along with the libs. And they'll never understand the massive disconnect.

6. I can guarantee he doesn't include you among his definition of "us"

because you post on a site like DU. He sees you as "un-American". You (and I) are probably his enemies, and thus, in his eyes (and his followers), America's enemies. Even if not, then whom we regard as enemies or dangerous is completely unimportant to him.

The author of the RW piece shows that the defining reason most of his followers have for doing what he says is they reckon he hates the same people they do.

Other Americans are not the enemy. Russia invading its neighbors and threatening our allies, now that's an enemy.

Don't know if Huck's "Kids' Guide to Hitler" will be just another chapter.
Or a whole other book

April 4, 1933

History does NOT need to repeat itself. By April 4th, Its far too late in Germany to stop it but its not too late here, now.

It took just 3 months for Hitler and his Nazi Party to shred through Germany's constitution to give them the power they need to seize total control and establish the Third Reich.

They've rounded up and made illegal all political opposition and with power now centralized in their hands, they move onto stage 2 of their #Project1933 plans which is to purge the government of Jews (see below). They also to take their first major action against the Jews, the Jewish Boycott.

Despite campaigning for years about how the Jews were "poisoning the blood of Germany" it should have been no surprise that Hitler's violent rhetoric foretold violent action. Yet, people were shocked, shocked I tell you!

As was the Nazi way, the Nazi's used victimization to turn the moral code upside down and categorize their own terrible acts as defensive in nature.

Thus through this reporting you will see them justify their actions as a response to "Jewish tyranny."

These are the same lies Trump tells his MAGA cult about "leftists" in America today, and he uses the same victimization propaganda to radicalize Republicans.

This is not a drill.
