k8efwga,17qtj66,Hillary Clinton warns against Trump 2024 win: ‘Hitler was duly elected’,"Hitler also attempted a coup (beer hall putsch) and failed in his first attempted coup.

k8efmbo,17qtj66,Hillary Clinton warns against Trump 2024 win: ‘Hitler was duly elected’,"Trump has stated he will trash the Constitution and start over again - I'm presuming he will start over with something beneficial to the Trump Crime Family and his sycophants.

The comparison with Hitler isn't a far stretch considering that man's early political career - it wouldn't be a giant leap for the US to fall under the same anti-government tactics - just look at the number of people in this country who support DJT, the *victim* of what is *wrong* with America, a man who claims he's been cheated time and again by a corrupt government.

Those who give fealty to this con man do so at risk of undoing our country - of trashing everything that our founding fathers believed in.  The Republican party kneels before the con man, all of them supplicants, kissing the fool's gold metal, asking for blessings from the con man that they too may participate in stealing from the mindless minions who foam at the mouth their prayers of adoration and devotion.",1516,2023-11-08 19:50:27

k8etb1m,17qtj66,Hillary Clinton warns against Trump 2024 win: ‘Hitler was duly elected’,"Hitler also never gained a majority in free elections, but was brought to power by an oligarchical and extremely conservative elite who thought they could control him, only to find out Hitler tried to obtain unlimited power at the first opportunity.

k8ev22v,17qtj66,Hillary Clinton warns against Trump 2024 win: ‘Hitler was duly elected’,Putin supported Trump but seemed genuinely surprised when he won. After Trump won Putin likely thought that Trump was going to be able to effectively consolidate power and do to the US what Orban and Erdogan did to Hungary and Turkey and yet I think Putin was genuinely surprised that Trump really wasn't competent enough to pull off many of his authoritarian dreams.,735,2023-11-08 21:21:55
k8ed9eb,17qtj66,Hillary Clinton warns against Trump 2024 win: ‘Hitler was duly elected’,"Not exactly true. Hitler was appointed chancellor, not elected directly. The Nazis actually were slipping in power and popularity when he was appointed in 1933. It was actually conservative actors who conspired to put him into power so he would suppress their opponents more than him being duly elected.",702,2023-11-08 19:36:12

Of course, he never would have done a good job with COVID because he is the worst leader in American history, but I digress.  Before COVID he was a constant stream of chaos and shit, as well.

k8eks3f,17qtj66,Hillary Clinton warns against Trump 2024 win: ‘Hitler was duly elected’,"imagine a world where there was no second gulf war - the supreme court had a 7-2 liberal majority - and we were 20 years into al gores global warming plan

the columbia vs heller ruling would have accepted the 'well regulated militia' part of the 2nd amendment so the united states wouldnt be the manufacturing centre of the unlimited guns-to-criminal pipeline for literally all of north america

about two trillion dollars from the budget could have gone towards universal healthcare instead of defense contractors

the people appointed to government would have actually been put there to RUN the government instead of dismantle it - so an actual disaster response person would have been in charge of katrina instead of a lawyer trying to cut the budget everywhere

and gore wouldnt have stuffed the regulatory agencies with chicago school economists so the 2008 crash probably woulddt have happened

Right-wing activists created a “crisis” to stop the recount and send it to the SCOTUS where only the justices’s votes would matter and the SCOTUS took that opportunity.

You’ll find throughout Hillary’s history she’s actually proven to be right on a lot of things. Trump, not trusting Russia, Tulsi Gabbard being a Russian Asset, etc.

k8eohia,17qtj66,Hillary Clinton warns against Trump 2024 win: ‘Hitler was duly elected’,"> Let me point out something about democracy. Does anybody remember how Hitler took over Germany? He was voted in. People said, Yeah, he's got the right message for us. Now when you have democracy, there's always the possibility that the guy who could turn out to be the biggest menace to the planet could just get voted in. And the place where it's most likely to happen is here, because of the media saturation, the illiteracy rate of the population, the social desperation of the population. Hitler came to power because things weren't so good.

k8emmze,17qtj66,Hillary Clinton warns against Trump 2024 win: ‘Hitler was duly elected’,"Read (or listen, it's a great audio book) *The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich* by William L. Shirer. Many of the actions and behaviors of the Nazis in their early and up and coming days have so many modern day similarities and it's scary how easily you could think the book is talking about people and behaviors happening today. 

I used to think people were simply being a little hyperbolic in saying the way trump was coming into power was similar to Germany in the 30s, but actually reading more about the history of that era I've changed my mind.  Obviously trump isn't an ideal charismatic character and he's becoming more of a liability than help to the party, but the underlying conditions for his ascension still exist.",135,2023-11-08 20:32:24

Trump got fucking bronzer all over a white n95 and was as embarrassed as any 70 year old dude trying to pretend that he doesn’t cake his face in foundation every day, would be.

It read like a conspiracy theory; about how the US should come to control the Earth by using any excuse to get involved in the Middle East and assert our military dominion over it.

It was like finding a cartoon villain's death ray plans; just too wacky to believe.

And then 9/11 happened, and we invaded one country on that pretext (not the one that attacked us) and another on a *completely* fabricated one, and those lies and invasions were carried out by those signatories.  And tens of thousands of Americans and hundreds of thousands of people died, with *millions* displaced and attitudes changed against the US for generations*.*

Even after he was sworn in, Hitler never would have consolidated power without being able to use the fire as an excuse. It's why I often suspect J6 was supposed to do the same thing for Trump. Imagine a scenario where the mob makes it to members of Congress, and there are massive casualties. In this alternate reality, does Trump disavow the mob and gracefully concede the election? He didn't even do that in the universe where this didn't happen, so obviously not.

Hitler was really just a popular loudmouth who the Nazi Party thought they could use as a figurehead, but they ended up giving him too much power, let it go to his head until he developed a cult of personality, and then wound up at the mercy of the monster they created.

At every turn, Trump kept bumping up against mechanisms that were philosophized, theorized and codified into law. You could see how constricting the constitution was for him in his face. What a fucking marvel to behold.

Don’t know which politician said this about Trump and the founders, but it took my breath away: “He doesn’t know a lot about them, but they certainly knew a lot about him.”

Putin became Prime Minister under Yeltsin on August 9th 1999 and was not all that popular until he used the [1999 apartment bombings](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1999_Russian_apartment_bombings) to consolidate his power.

He then elected President on [March 26th 2000](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000_Russian_presidential_election), in an election where he put pretty strong pressure on the media.

Donald Trump on the other hand, is antagonizing the judge overseeing his trial and punishment... 

Also Hitler managed to write an entire book in prison, Trump could never write a book on his own, no matter the time he's given. 

Hitler's imprisonment however, did improve his popularity. It was really what jump started his rise to Chancellor and political leadership. 

Trump doesn't have that much time, nor are the circumstances as convenient for him as they were for Hitler back then, also, and I hate saying this, but Hitler was much smarter than Trump.

Hitler was only named chancellor because of conservatives like von Papen who believed he would be a puppet who would help oust liberal or socialist/communist parties, who were on the ascendance, and be controllable because he was desperate.

I agree. Trump ran on a campaign with a lot of electoral anger. People were angry about inflation, wages being stagnant, corporations getting away with everything, and politicians seemingly indifferent or out of touch with their struggles.

Along comes Trump, a (seeming) outsider who talked about a lot of these problems, and claimed (falsely) to have a solution for them (solutions that he conveniently declined to reveal until elected).

Clearly his tenure was a disaster in many ways. ***Most of his supporters seem unable to reconcile this with their early support, and find it easier to just double down on him rather than thinking critically.***

Some are also single-issue voters who think he's better than Biden based on one or two issues (i.e. inflation, abortion) and will vote accordingly.

I don't get it, either.

>I get that Biden is old, but Trump is old, too

The issue is that Trump [hides it better](https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/biden-trump-old-voters-age-issue-rcna104316) by wearing baggy suits, dying his hair, and being generally louder and more animated. In addition, griping about his age is one of the few obvious criticisms they can make about him.

>Surely there's more to it than ""owning the Libs""?

There's a large group of people who feel neglected by the government (in smaller towns, middle states, and rural areas) and want the government to pay in some way, shape or form.

There are others who are upset over some made-up culture war boogeyman (""cancel culture,"" trans rights, inclusion and diversity, etc) and just vote out of rage.

I told my father that most of the arguments against trans rights are identical to the ones against LGBT rights in the mid-2000s. I told him it was just a made-up, already debunked argument to make people angry.. He didn't get it, or maybe has a selectively short attention span.

Some more frightening parallels from [this article](https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/beer-hall-putsch-secures-hitlers-rise-to-power):

*The failed coup turned out to be quite a boon for Adolf Hitler. His trial brought him more attention and publicity than ever before. With a crowd of thousands-including press from around the world-watching the proceedings, Hitler made the most of this opportunity by going on the offensive.*

*Taking every chance to turn the subject away from the putsch itself, Hitler frequently made speeches about Germany’s postwar plight. He blamed the Jews, Marxism, and France for all of the country’s problems, repeatedly returning to his theme of hypernationalism. The conservative-leaning judges did nothing to stop Hitler or keep the focus on the attempted coup. The prosecutors, who had been threatened by Hitler’s student followers, shrank from challenging the defendant.*

*It soon became evident that Hitler was winning the public relations battle by using the 25-day trial as a showcase for his extreme right-wing views, even if he was technically losing the case. In his closing argument, Hitler declared that he would ignore the court’s verdict because the “Eternal Court of History” would acquit him.*",25,2023-11-08 23:04:13

>So to take Bush down, Clinton’s team drew up a plan to pump Trump up. Shortly after her kickoff, top aides organized a strategy call, whose agenda included a memo to the Democratic National Committee: “This memo is intended to outline the strategy and goals a potential Hillary Clinton presidential campaign would have regarding the 2016 Republican presidential field,” it read.

>“The variety of candidates is a positive here, and many of the lesser known can serve as a cudgel to move the more established candidates further to the right. In this scenario, we don’t want to marginalize the more extreme candidates, but make them more ‘Pied Piper’ candidates who actually represent the mainstream of the Republican Party,” read the memo.

>Clinton’s team in Brooklyn was delightedly puzzled by Trump’s shift into the pole position that July after attacking John McCain by declaring, “I like people who weren’t captured.”

>Eleven days after those comments about McCain, Clinton aides sought to push the plan even further: An agenda item for top aides’ message planning meeting read, “How do we prevent Bush from bettering himself/how do we maximize Trump and others?""

>They wouldn’t have to work very hard at it though; the debates were the beginning of the end for the candidate Clinton’s team always thought she would face on Election Day. The day after the first debate in August, Clinton confidante Neera Tanden emailed Podesta her analysis: “Bush sucked. I’m glad Hillary is obsessed with the one candidate who would be easiest to beat :) Besides Trump, of course.”

>Clinton aides finally started to see Trump as more than a tool to destroy Bush. In fact, Mook took him so seriously that his team’s internal, if informal, guidance was to hold fire on Trump during the primary and resist the urge to distribute any of the opposition research the Democrats were scrambling to amass against him. That hoarding plan remained in place deep into 2016 as some senior aides stayed convinced that a race against Trump would be a dream for Clinton

> Trump Administration’s steel tariffs, and the retaliatory tariffs levied by other nations in response, “have cost about 75,000 manufacturing jobs while creating only about 1,000 jobs in the steel industry.

Interesting that they cite to someone who goes against the Trump tarriff wars..but then they backpeddle, and say:

> Strategically expand tariffs to all Chinese products and increase tariff rates to levels that will block out “Made in China” products, and execute this strategy in a manner and at a pace that will not expose the U.S. to lack of access to essential products like key pharmaceuticals.

> tax reform should improve incentives to work, save, and invest. This, in turn, is accomplished primarily by reducing marginal tax rates, reducing the cost of capital, and broadening the tax base to eliminate tax-induced economic distortions by eliminating special-interest tax credits, deductions, and exclusions. Tax compliance costs will decline precipitously if the tax system is substantially simplified.

What Reagan tried, what Trump tried...but the tax code ""simplification"" seems to always end up helping the same people.  0 faith in this policy proposal...especially since it is followed up with ""Chapter 22 includes proposals to reduce the intrusiveness and increase the accountability of the Internal Revenue Service.""

> Strengthen America’s defense industrial base

Of course, because 50% of the discretionary budget on the military JUST ISNT ENOUGH

And I did a page search for hot-button issues, which of course get all the expected results:

> Reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military

> The next HHS secretary should immediately put an end to the department’s foray into woke transgender activism

> The new Administration should restrict Bostock’s application of sex discrimination protections to sexual orientation and transgender status in the context of hiring and firing

Of course lgbt rights are in the crosshairs

> Abortion pills pose the single greatest threat to unborn children in a post-Roe world.

> Expand resource diversity and reliability. Resource diversity is needed to support grid reliability. Pressure to use 100 percent renewables or non–carbon emitting resources threatens the electric grid’s reliability.

Of course! Use all the options we have...except for renewables! So basically coal and oil, got it.

""Voted in"" is a colloquial phrase to say: yes, this person, this party, is governing because people voted for it enough to make them the government, including whatever deals or coalitions with other parties were necessary to actually get their government approved.

And that's exactly what happened with Hitler and the Nazi party, and exactly why it's so dangerous to vote for the current Republican party. Because they can get 'voted in' through legitimate means and then wreck the democratic system once they're in.

Are you intentionally spreading misinformation or did you just not pay attention in history class? The Nazis most definitely *did* win a plurality in 1932. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/July_1932_German_federal_election

>Federal elections were held in Germany on 31 July 1932, following the premature dissolution of the Reichstag. The Nazi Party made significant gains and became the largest party in the Reichstag for the first time

It was a rather large plurality too, at 230 seats. The second-largest party only had 133 seats. The Nazis seized power by fiat, they never had a majority and only briefly had a coalition with another far-right authoritarian party, the DVNP. They seized power *after* that coalition collapsed in 1933 and were not in a majority government when Hitler became dictator.

That's why they're such a major cautionary tale for today: they were a minority party that seized power due to chaos resulting from a combination of political violence and political gridlock that paralyzed the German government. There are eerie parallels to the modern perpetual-minority GQP and partisan gridlock today.",14,2023-11-08 21:06:26
