I mean, give him time. Hitler didn’t start sending people to camps right from the get go, that was decades down the line. The kind of rhetoric that Trump and his ilk use is the same kind that Hitler and his ilk used. Trying to put Hitler on some sort of unreachable pedestal, even an evil one, is a fucking fantastic way of underestimating those who are doing their best to imitate him.
Do we just ignore that because he’s not that bad yet? Should we wait until there’s actually death camps before we start criticizing his peoples actions and motives?
Just because you want Trump to be a doddering old fool doesn’t mean his actions are meaningless, or that they’re not indicative of a very real threat. His actions are absolutely having very real consequences for lots of innocent people, and trying to downplay that so you can feel superior is far more insulting to all those dead Jews than Larry David making jokes.
He didn’t just pop up as a fully formed dictator once he invaded Poland, he’d been cooking since after the first world war. He took full power in the early thirties, and the holocaust didn’t officially get started til the forties.
Larry David is specifically illustrating how insulting it is (to dead Jews and all decent people) to meet with a dictator and then say nice things about them. It’s called satire. He’s pointing out the insult, not making it.
let me know when The Night of the Long Knives arrives and he starts executing democrats until then if the guy can be voted out like the first time…not a dictator…
I’d rather nip it in the bud before we get to that point, thanks.
and not a fucking chance he’s anywhere near as bad as hitler go watch some ww2 documentaries ffs
You know who else was nowhere near as bad as Hitler in WWII? Hitler before WWII. The whole point of learning from history is recognizing early signs, so you can interrupt a plot before it gets to the Holocaust level. Trump is already sending people to concentration camps with no due process. He’s already attacking political dissenters, and plotting an unconstitutional 3rd term.
If you wait for the Night of Long Knives, you ensure that it’ll be too late to actually do anything about it. Those of us who have watched WWII documentaries can see the parallels clear as crystal.
you’re right, the guy who was voted in 5 months ago and is doing exactly what he said he would do is a dictator 🙄
Dictators often do exactly what they say they will do.

Every dictator in history has executed their political rivals? Are you sure about that? I can provide many examples to the contrary if you promise not to move the goalposts.
until then if the guy can be voted out like the first time…not a dictator…
This remains to be seen. He had his people attack Congress and threaten to lynch the VP last time he lost.

Not all dictators will mirror Hitler on a 1:1 scale.
That’s uhh… exactly the point dipshit.

Decades?

So, yeah, decades.

Exactly. It’s not like dictators are ever elected or anything. Oh wait…
