    “His primary rules are: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.”

    "The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was the final, most essential command... And if all others accepted the lie, which the Party imposed, if all records told the same tale, then the lie passed into history and became truth." 1984 George Orwell
     
  3. My strongest reason for loathing Donny has been his shameless application of Hitler's methods in the 21st century. I will admit that his grandfather being German makes me extra cross in the context. I lost quite a few family members in Denmark who gave their lives to resist the Nazis. Similarly my grandfather and grand uncles had small and senior roles in the Allied war effort. Small or senior, they fought for their lives and for mine to come.

    But one must consider how the ground was prepared for him. A populice so fat and illeducated they can't see it a mile off and don't appreciate the evil of it all.

    Whereas some people will deliberately expose themselves to different ideas, experiences, cultures to avoid living in an “echo chamber,” followers want to live smack dab in the middle of one and are glad to do their part of the echoing. Surrounding themselves with people who agree with them, clapping together, chanting together, cheering together, and marching together is convincing evidence for them that their beliefs are right.

    Just another failed Godwin attempt.

    Apparently you have no context or understanding of history if you assert that Trump “shamelessly applies Hitler’s methods”.

    The only brown-shirts around here terrorizing people are the ANTIFA thugs.

    How many people have Antifa killed? Do you want a list of murders and acts of terror by MAGA morons and right wing nut jobs?

    The difference between Trump and Hitler is that Hitler wasn't a grifter, we should be thankful of small mercies that Republicans care about money more than they love racism - like how the Tibbetts killer was hired and fed by Republicans.
