Donald Trump

[SebastianBlue]

The segment with the professor of Philosophy at Yale University who has written several books about fascism is essential listening for any “MAGA is not a fascist movement!” people still left reading the thread. He actually highlights how many aspects of MAGA rhetoric, policies, and governmental actions are straight from Nazi Germany. And how refusing to acknowledge that, or even call it what it is, is similar to what happened in the 1920s, when many refused to recognise the danger of the rhetoric and promised policies and actions Hitler and his surrogates were espousing, which helped the Nazis rise to power and commit myriad atrocities.

Host Brooke Gladstone speaks with Jason Stanley, a professor of Philosophy at Yale University and who has written several books on fascism. He first warned about Trump's fascist rhetoric in 2018, and explains why it's more important than ever to call it by its name.

Please God don't let him win. The opposition isn't great but he is truly horrible.

I'm guessing you are a liberal. Far left.

And to my mind that short sentence shows how much of the Kool Aid you have swallowed.
To think that the Dems are liberal or left is so way off the mark and just repeats the MAGA mantra.
The Dems are more like Tories in the UK with MAGA being UKIP. Which explains the Trump/Farage bromance.

And as for the poster who thinks that Trump answers questions can just go back to the National Black Journalists event, the Bloomberg event and many others. Once again its a always a case of falsehood followed by diversion and usually followed by an insult.

I wonder has he finally answered the question as to whether Melanie was lawfully resident when they got together or sorted his healthcare policy yet.

If turnout is high that’s not good for him, probably. Keep the faith.

I remember ploughing a similarly confident furrow four years ago.
