Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description.

This was by the far the most horrifying act of treason in world history. And as pointed out by USA TODAY, the ongoing belief that "the election was stolen" is by far the most false and destructive act that continues to poison our country. The article was written by the man Trump himself selected to investigate election fraud, and what he found was that not only did no substantial fraud occur, the little bit he did find was biparitisan, with as many republicans guilty of voting twice as democrats.
Charles Dickens warned in "A Christmas Carol" that the worst fate to befall mankind is Ignorance. And willful ignorance of the truth is a path to ultimate destruction and ruin of all of human society.
It was horrifying. It was treasonous.
But the most in all of world history? I dunno.
Ol' Guido almost did something bigger than that.
I can't think of another act so heinous, maybe some that come close. But what makes this one the worst is that it continues to spread poisonous lies throughout our world.
I’m pretty sure Hitler’s takeover of Germany was worse. You still have idiots marching in the streets today claiming to be NAZIs
Or the insurrection that actually managed to kill thousands of Americans, our Civil War.
This was horrific, but getting hyperbolic about it just feeds the right wing propaganda machines further.
I don't disagree, but to me Hitler at least had a shred of vision. Trump just wants destruction for all of humanity. To me, trump is much worse in every way. And I not a fan of hitler at all. But I'd rather have Hitler as president, or Jeff Dahmer, instead of that sick mass of putried filth that calls itself trump.
I get the sense you're a bit biased here lol. If you think any of these politicians at the top give a shit about you, you're wrong.
Trump is just selfish (like most big politicians). You can't have no vision and a vision for how to destroy mankind at the same time.
It's a bit illogical to say you hate insurrectionists and people trying to alter society for their own benefit, and also say "id rather have Hitler as a president".
Do you see the irony here?
The dangerous thing about Hitler is at least in the beginning he was competent. Trump wasn't - and so far hasn't done anything to make me think he's changed. The thing that has saved us from Trump was his sheer incompetence.
Fair enough, I see where you're coming from. Id suggest though, that selfishness and greed are easy to predict - moreso than radicals whose country was backed into a corner of starvation and depression by the rest of the world.
"say what you like about Hitler, at least he had vision"
Damn, that's a really silly thing to have said.
The night of the long knives comes to mind.

Not by a long way, come on man.
I think 1861 was worse than 1/6.
