    These times really make me think. Not everybody was instantly a Nazi back when Hitler came up, there was a progress. So there must have been plenty of people who thought he was a clown with a bit too much influence.

    These new politicians seem like a joke compared to the Nazis, but the Nazis probably seemed like a joke to plenty of people back then, too. Like, this is not a joke what’s going on right now

      Wasn’t Hitler always a kinda incompetent leader?

      If anything that should serve to showcase that you don’t need to be a strong leader to cause massive amounts of damage. Hell, in this day and age you barely need to do shit to cause the end of the world. Just demand the nukes fly. Though hopefully that process would be stopped by people with some self-preservation insinct.

        Nope… this is how it will go down. The decent people disappeared from positions of power.

      If you’re known as a Charlie Chaplin fan? Maybe. Michael Jordan is your idol? Maybe. Known for flirting with Neo Nazi idiology? That’s some unambiguously Nazi shit…

      Yeah, why would anyone care about an ultra wealthy individual who bought his way into governmental power and does nazi salutes and has a far right ideology that will certainly cause massive harm for the country and likely the world?

      Like, focus on the important stuff, amirite?

        Maybe I’m cooked but if millions of ppl were hating on me daily to the point where my face covered every site the embarassment would turn into dopamine and it would start feeding me, attention is attention

          This implies I dont think he should be hated, thats not true, just doesn’t feel super productive to give him more attention, it doesn’t take away his power just adds to his influence

            Its like I told my dad right up until he passed away. Don’t worry about the growth, focusing on it wont help anything, it will probably sort itself out.

      Muskrat? Literally doing a Nazi salute at a US presidential inauguration just earlier this week isn’t worthy of constant criticizing posts?

      It’s kinda all over the Internet, not just here btw.
