@GottaLaff What galls me the most is that there’s enough people who want either a #rapist#dictator or an off-brand #MAGA worm-brain as head of this country. And many say we should take the high road and ‘listen to these people’s concerns’. For me, if you have either one of these on your bucket list for election, FU! #ElectionsMatter#NeverTrump
#MackenzieKing’s “cheerleading” for #Hitler’s regime got a tremendous boost during his tour of landmarks of the #Nazi “miracle,” as Teigrob recounts in riveting detail. The photographs tell a very chilling story as well, especially one that shows King sitting proudly in Hitler’s seat at the All-German Sports Competitions while surrounded by Nazi bigwigs in full swastika-studded regalia.
"Israel is supposed to be the leading example of democracy in the Middle East, but the country has moved forward with some wildly anti-democratic behavior. Not only did the Benjamin Netanyahu-led country over the weekend ban Al Jazeera from broadcasting for 45 days, but its authorities confiscated the Qatari-funded outlet's broadcast equipment, shut down its offices, and blocked its website in the country —"
In his own words, #Trump is promising to rule as a #dictator on ‘day one,’ use the #military against the American people, punish those who stand against him, condone violence done on his behalf, and put his own sick desire for revenge and retribution ahead of America's best interests. Trump is a danger to the #Constitution and a threat to our #democracy.
@GottaLaff great piece! This really brings the point home:
“Takeover: Hitler’s Final Rise to Power”—historian Timothy W. Ryback.
“It explains how German leaders – including some in the media -- thought they could use #hitler as a means to get power for themselves & were willing to look past his obvious deficiencies to get where they wanted. In tolerating & using Hitler as a means to an end, they helped create the monstrous #dictator responsible for millions of deaths.” #MAGApropaganda#gop
Ruth Ben-Ghiat on why Trump needs his cheering crowds:
"Early on, Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels discovered that Adolf Hitler was a wooden speaker in a studio environment and required the energy and adulation of crowds to shine. Hitler's speeches thereafter were recorded at rallies and other public occasions, his performances enhanced by the feedback of his fans."
Inside his twisted and cruel mind, Putin is actually happy this happened. Don't need a PHD to figure that out.
He can use it to brainwash more of his people.
People argue against excluding #Trump from the election because he needs to be defeated at the ballot box.
Trump‘s response:
lWhile discussing the U.S. economy and its auto industry, Mr. Trump promised to place tariffs on cars manufactured abroad if he won in November.
„Now, if I don’t get elected, (…) it’s going to be a blood bath for the country” and “I don’t think you’re going to have another election, or certainly not an election that’s meaningful.” https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/16/us/politics/trump-speech-ohio.html?unlocked_article_code=1.dU0.uZ3U.qDlXMjHWM9mI&smid=url-share
I'm not following the point. For months we have been told by the #NYT and other #media sources (#CNN#MSNBC etc.) that if #Trump is reelected he will be #dictator and it will be the end of #democracy.
