We have Nazis and Nazi-lite -> MAGA

We have brown shirts -> ICE.

We are blaming immigrants and believing white people are somehow superior.

Now we just invaded a country, and say we will invade others.

What’s happening here… It feels strange. Is anyone else seeing this?

    People who rejected that comparison forgot that Hitler didn’t start as 1945 Hitler. And Trump is well on his way to become that version.

      Except Trump can’t live that long. A dozen+ doctors have posted articles and videos lining out how he clearly has frontotemporal dementia. God knows what heart and other issues he has, but even with the best of luck and care, it won’t be long until he can’t be in front of cameras.

      That last is just my opinion. But to my mind he really started to sundown around 2021-2020. At this point, he’s radically worse than just 2-3 years back.

        True, but oh my god, look at his admin. No matter what happens in the next election, one of them will pick up until then. I fear Miller will simply eat the others. Or at least bite their heads off.

          I’m afraid most of the administration are fools put up for us to rage and clown on. For example, can you imagine the real powers behind the throne agreeing that Pete Hegseth was a great choice for SecDef? He’s a handsome, drunk, fratboy with a military record and Fox News face recognition. Doesn’t matter a whit if he’s a twit. Perfect!

          You’re right, Miller may be the real puppeteer. Notice how he keeps as low-key as possible? Sure, he’s says some stupid shit, but he’s in the background against the louder idiots.

          But could Hermann Göring have slid into Hitler’s spot? That’s not a facile Nazi comparison. Dead cult leader -> implosion -> dead cult. They have to grasp total control before Trump can’t stand up and speak.

          He can barely do so now, not joking. Watch him in a scheduled event his handlers can’t avoid, like the meeting with the Japanese Prime Minister. Trump was not present, having a “bad” day as they say in senior care.

          Let him! The second the cult leader is dead or displaced, Vance takes all the blame for everything Trump supporters are seething about. The game is to speed run Project 2025, grab the levers of power permanently before Trump literally can’t stand up without drooling.

          Can you imagine the backstabbing, Bulgarian clusterfuck that would go down if Trump dropped dead tonight?! These folks are in a fucking hurry.
