I know people don't like Nazi analogies, but I am struck but what Robert Jackson said at Nuremberg

Jackson spoke of the Nazis "Pathological pride, cruelty, and lust for power."

Pathological Pride" (Trump and the Republicans can NEVER admit they are ever wrong about anything), "cruelty" (leaving millions without healthcare for more tax cuts for billionaires), and "lust for power" (Trump, the Koch Brothers, the Mercer Family, McConnell, Ryan)

There ARE similarities!

Trumps are full of it (and themselves) - nazi, fascist, racist, sexist, bigots, liars, crooks.
Fuckheads of the first order.

And no wonder. Nazi analogies are the easiest way to make your point about Fascists, Authoritarians, and Conservatives! Please, pay no attention to that mythical meme.
