just that since he first reminded me of that other fascist strutting peacock of the axis powers of WW2, Benito Mussolini. And the trumpenfuhrer means every word he says. In what I had truly hoped would become an enlightened century, in the last 16 years we have come to this.....evil.

Fox "news" has been spewing hate and racist propaganda 24/7/365 as has Hate radio for decades.

Propaganda works, the Big Lie works!

Hitler and the nazis knew this back in the 30's, Trump and the republicans know it now.

I guess the only question remaining is will the American people vote into power our homegrown Führer like the German people did?

If yes we deserve what that will bring us. Trump is a stone cold liar and a lover of authoritarian strongmen. Its plain to see what kind of President he would be, no?

Who want that dream, to finally be ruled by a dictator. Democracy has been in their way for a long, time.

Many Americans long for the jackboot on the necks of their perceived enemies not realizing that the boot will be on their own necks later.

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

because I think they're often done lightly and inaccurately. But these are very strange and frightening times. We're faced with a candidate who makes no secret of his intentions to become a dictator. Watching Trump I AM reminded of Hitler.

if you have Netflix you can find it the "Look Who's Back", the parallels with Trump are even more scary than the video on this post.

This is NOT by accident or coincidence.

Will we prove there is a difference between a "good American" and a "good German"?

(Before Germans feel offended, please know that I am of German ancestry. Nobody on either side of the ocean is proud of that chapter in history)
