Trump mirrors Hitler

[Moksha]

But why in the world would we enable a candidate who is using the Hitler playbook?

Because Republicans like his rhetoric and they've been missing it since the beginning of WWII.

What Republicans like Trump's rhetoric ? Does Ron DeSantis or Nikki Halley like Trump's rhetoric? Did FDR like it? Remember, "since the beginning of WWII" FDR put American citizens into camps. Remember, "since the beginning of WWII, FDR denied Jews fleeing Europe entry into the United States believing they were a threat to national security. Many returned to Europe and died in the Holocaust.

Remember there are lies by commission and also by omission. Clearly as to commission, Trump is already at the finish line where his opponent is just half around the track but Trump is Trump so he just keeps running around the track. What is more difficult to detect is lies by omission: what is not being said. Cleary the elite who run the Democratic Party are miles in front on this issue. Lies by commission are instantly apparent but history shows that lies by omission become apparent over time.

For me this is the big lie. It's when the media actually stop reporting what is occurring and present things only favorably to one candidate. Kamala Harris recently did a CBS 60 minutes interview. They edited the interview, which all news organization do, but when asked for the full transcript, CBS refused to provide it.

Many people say that the interview was edited and rearranged so that answers Harris gave were actually from different questions. If she seemed frustrated, confused or gave an answer that had nothing to do with the question then it was edited out. Those who are dedicated to professional journalism and ethics say release the full transcripts so we will know if what critics are saying is true but those in charge of the Democratic Party are interfering with that process.

Will Trump, like Hitler, bring about the unthinkable? No clue. But why in the world would we enable a candidate whose using the Hitler playbook?

Because he's appealing to his audience's wants and needs, he's not trying to shape them into his own non-existent ideology (aside from worshiping him); he's desperate to please the crowd, and talking like Hitler pleases the average conservative, Christian or otherwise. This is why Nick Fuentos is so frequently anti-Trump, even recently saying you can't consider yourself a Christian and vote for Trump. That's because he doesn't believe Trump will make good on his most extreme threats, it's just election rhetoric that makes people happy. There have been times Trump has reacted to his crowd with confusion because he doesn't understand why they are so anti-LGTBQ. I think there is a disconnect between his fondness for Hitler and Xi and his desire to live the fantasy life of a dictator vs really being a dictator. When he becomes dictator, is he really going to be happy ruining as many lives as possible to please his base? That's his only power, he can't reduce inflation, he can't fix wealth distribution (other than make it worse); he's helpless against any real problems. He can ruin people's lives, that's his only knob. I just don't think he's as bad as the people who vote for him are -- I don't think he wants to turn that knob. He will, but he'd rather bask in unlimited corruption and enjoy himself as the world's number one reality star.

So if he wins, lets hope Nick Fuentos is right.

In that case, Republicans led the charge to deny non-western and northern European immigrants pre-WWII. They were not too happy about the Irish and Italian immigrants due to their Catholicism.

Trump prefers those commissioned lies to any truth.

Didn’t work. Wasn’t there a place called Ellis Island. 12 million people entered the USA between the late 19th century and mid 20th century. They came through immigration in an orderly way. Unfortunately, many were sent back. To me that’s heartbreaking.

As to harming those not of your tribe in America, how far do you want to go back. Maybe to Plymouth Rock. How many years do you have to listen.

The Catholics have been marginalized in this country for a long time. Read the Book of Mormon by Joseph Smith Jr. Read the first edition of Mormon doctrine by Bruce R. McKonkie. Have you ever heard of the Know-Nothing party.

Fortunately, that political party dissolved quickly.

The Catholics in the U.S Army who went to war in Mexico decided they didn’t want to fight Catholics in the Mexican army and many decided to change sides and fight for Mexico likely because how they were treated in the USA.

The center-right and center-left are all for immigration, even as Bill Clinton discussed recently, but not in a way that resembles anarchy and rewards it.

Yellowstone, I am puzzled by your post. I think Moska's characterization is extreme and communication is generally better leaving off such exaggerated flourishes .
Is your observation exaggerated? After all CBS editing the interview hardly seems like a big coverup. I suspect she fumbled some answers. So what? You make is sound like she made some crushing mistake like admitting she doesn't like dogs. You know something that could loose the election.

But for exaggeration you seem to be making a comparison to well known bad decisions in ww2. You realize that FDR was not a leader of American antisemitic policies. He failed to stand against them which is a black mark on his memory. I am not seeing the connection here.

The Democrat's mote seems much more addressable than the planetary-size beam of the Republicans. Trump's new theme of harsh retribution against his opponents is hardly worth mentioning when compared to something FDR might have advocated for with greater vigor.

Perhaps at this point, now that Harris has given an interview on Fox, the question of her competence in this regard has been answered by that example, and presumably because Fox would not stoop so low as to favor a particular candidate, and be accused of doing so by the folks suspicious of CBS.

It's being done by both sides. CBS messed up and so did Fox but one interview should not make or break you, since if you are running for Chief Executive of the Nation, you should be doing interviews on a daily basis. And today since what is going on politically I would say let them be live broadcasts from this day until the election. From this day to the election no more teleprompters.

Some may say that reading things on X about Kamala is laughable since the site doesn't have any objectivity/integrity, but then I ask this question: why of all places to release information on withdrawing from the presidential race did Joe Biden post it on X.

Let me add that I just wondered if Biden did send the letter to anyone one else at the same time. The words I used on Google showed the results where many major news organizations writing that he withdrew from the presidential race but I just read the google search. They may have put it further down on the article if I clicked on each one. It was about ten links below the top that the BBC wrote the he posted it on X. Again, I'm reading the top part of a search. But further down a site reported he posted it on X and Instagram.

"Who are the many people and why do they say this?"

Fair question.

I've been reading mostly on X.

Somehow individuals that post on that site got parts of the interview prior to it being released so they quickly saw the issues, but I will try to find other sources.
