But I honestly don't think he is well-read or intelligent enough to realize it's exactly the same slogan moustache guy used. With Trump, willful ignorance is always the most likely option because malicious intent requires a degree of intellect he does not possess. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Typhoon@lemmy.ca 7 points 11 months ago (1 child) I honestly don't think he is well-read or intelligent enough to realize it's exactly the same slogan moustache guy used.

As a German native speaker, I have listened to almost all of the publicly available Hitler speeches, and I found it incredibly hard to keep paying attention. It's as bad as Mein Kampf - just weird sequences of relatively incoherent segments of his twisted world views. Very hard to follow. And Trump is well known for his extremely short attention span. I would be very, very surprised if that man managed to read even a single Hitler speech from start to finish in one sitting. permalink fedilink source parent [–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 child) Underestimating him is how we got here. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] glorkon@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago* No, underestimating the capacity of a large amount of idiots to recognize all the flaws of this unspeakably horrible person and elect the fucker nonetheless, that's what got us here. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 1 point 11 months ago Secretly admires? permalink fedilink source parent [–] Tingle@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago I'd assume it was Ronald Reagan since it was also his slogan in the 1980's. It's pretty clear that Trump is a fascist piece of shit but this game he is playing has been going on a lot longer than people think. permalink fedilink source parent [–] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 1 point 11 months ago Ronald Reagan's campaign. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ratten@lemmings.world 4 points 11 months ago (1 child) Democrats bear almost as much blame for nominating "lesser-evil" candidates over someone who is actually good. Donald Trump won because Bernie lost, twice. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 1 point 11 months ago (1 child) Oh fuck you. This is a democracy with 300 million people, no one gets everything they want. It's not the Democratic party's fault that a convicted felon pedophile is the president. The blame lands with you "both sides" dumbasses. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ratten@lemmings.world 1 point 11 months ago Yes it is. Twice. permalink fedilink source parent [–] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 1 point 11 months ago He just stole it from Reagan's campaign. permalink fedilink source parent [–] 3abas@lemmy.world -1 points 11 months ago (1 child) You deserve it for refusing to vote for a viable candidate. You don't get to blame people who rejected a genocidal candidate, blame those who called genocide lesser evil. Maybe when everyone is on the same page about rejecting evil, something will change. But no, you'll downvote and feel self righteous about it as you cheerlead for another fascist (Newsom). permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] varnia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 11 months ago (1 child) Have you been following the situation in Gaza? The idea that Trump was ever the "lesser evil" was always a dangerous delusion - especially when the alternative was so clear. The U.S. two-party system leaves little room for ambiguity: if you didn’t vote for Harris, you effectively enabled Trump. Now, the world has to grapple with the consequences -rising far-right movements, rollbacks on LGBTQIA+ rights, the gutting of climate policies, and a surge in anti-immigrant rhetoric. This isn’t about partisan bickering; it’s about accountability. The choice was straightforward, and the fallout is global. How do you justify looking away when the stakes were this high? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] 3abas@lemmy.world 1 point 11 months ago I never claimed Trump was the lesser evil, my whole point is that the idea is lesser evil is itself evil. The U.S. two-party system leaves little room for ambiguity Democrats didn't do anything to stop him four years after his first attempt to overthrow government, we were always going down the same path with them. You voted for genocide and you want people who didn't to take the blame for getting domestic genocide. And while you want to continue to pretend to have a democracy and cheer for Newsom and blaming those with a moral compass, things will keep going downhill until you have zero chance of recovering. Now is the time to revolt, not to back Zionist Democrats who value the empire and lining their own pockets. They promised you war and lethal military, they quietly did worse to immigrants at the border than Republicans, they refuse to fix healthcare or implement rent control or raise the minimum wage, but you'll keep calling them the lesser evil. They're evil, period, and you should demand better! permalink fedilink source parent
