The lines between Hitler and Trump are becoming less and less blurred
I think you mean more blurred, not less.
A less blurred line would be more distinct, providing a stronger, more obvious separation between the two.
A more blurred line is fuzzier, making it more difficult to tell where one ends and the other starts.
But he did a 360 so he same’d his changeness. J/k.
Well, 160 upvotes can’t be wrong
This is lemmy, everyone is always wrong
It is almost like he told everyone that he was going to be a dictator on day one.
Technically he claimed that it would be ONLY on day one, but nobody ever actually believed that.
“Day one” was Groundhog Day.
Be a dictator on day one,
Use that day to remove all the barriers to remaining a dictator and also change the definition of dictator,
Profit!

Ah, you are this idiot:
“Dude I’m South Asian. As long as a Black man, South Asian man or a white man behaves and follows orders, it will be fine.”
Must be a troll, nobody is this dumb.
Dunno about you buddy, but I don’t particularly like following orders eh
In other comments they revealed themselves to be a full-blown Nazi just trolling.
They are now banned from Lemmy.ca
Ya, looked at their comment history and modlog. Getting banned left right and center. Mostly right though. Ha ha
It’s not like he’s invading countries and throwing minorities into camps…
Or celebrating his jackbooted thugs murdering people.
Or hanging out in sex rings or taking drugs…
Did Hitler hang out in sex rings? I wasn’t aware of that. I think he was into water sports, but there’s nothing wrong with that.
No he was a better person like that.
Or shooting women in the face
Much like Argentina was a safe haven for Nazi’s, Trump is making Venezuela a safe haven for him and his mob.
If the man was still alive, he would be salivating for what it is being done right now. It’s the original agenda, on steroids, revised, fine tuned and turbo charged.
“You cannot beat the master of genocide and racial segregation” (Hitler, if he were alive today)
Hitler’s agenda borrowed heavily from US policies. The US experimenting on his own citizens went on for decades after Auschwitz was closed.
When he was elected I was very scared that my son would be old enough to be conscripted and die in a pointless war based on the time line compared to original Hilter.
Good news though! Looks like he won’t even get to live to see 10 years old! 👍
We’ll live to be old and so will our offspring. How the world will be by then is the great question.
I get what you’re saying from the context, but the way you phrases it makes it sound like it’s becoming more clearly defined that Trump is not Hitler. Generally, more “blurring of the lines” equates to a thing becoming less clearly distinguishable from another thing.
The venn diagram is becoming a circle.
If one circle is blurry, it can look like a Venn diagram.
As it gets more focused, it looks like the Venn just overlaps more than it did originally.
Then one day, everyone’s like “wait a minute, it’s been a single blurry circle the whole time” and everyone can see it.
It’s not common usage now, but has before. So maybe they switched it up on accident, but if it was intentuonal then it wasn’t necessarily wrong. They just meant as the differences get more defined, we realize they aren’t really differences.
Ya I maybe didn’t wrong. Y’all know what I mean. 😜🤣
It’s no longer a Venn Diagram, it’s just a circle.
It’s very easy to tell them apart.
One dresses like an American clown. The other had good uniforms.
But yeah, both suck.
It makes me feel really sad to see the USA go from 80s / 90s Era golden times into false wars, the murder of millions and now we just putting the building blocks in place to have a new form of the Nazi party.
The problem is that everyone is so Tribal now and fixed into their positions I can only see it escalating. I’m worried for my children.
That supposed golden age was a time of massive deregulation, which is still wreaking havoc on the country.
In the 80s and 90s, America was massively involved in destabilising Central America and the Middle East.
Iran-Contra / Nicaragua, Panama, first Gulf war, Afghanistan…
Venezuela is his b plan for 2028. Presidente Donaldo por Vida!
Basically looking for a third world war.
That is his plan to stay in power and avoid midterms.
MAGA: Trump kindapping Maduro was justified because he was acting like a dictator and was a net negative to the people of Venezuela!
MAGA after another world leader Kindaps Trump for doing the same thing: 😮
Reglas para ti
No para mí
Fuck kidnapping him. Just mussolini the fucking mango already.
Oh man, I sure do hope some random fucking country doesn’t kidnap the new President of Venezuela.
“relax, you have the donald syndrome, he’s just speaking metaphorically”Meanwhile, these people have Hasan Derangement Syndrome…
When this era of terror is over, I hope we have Nuremberg style trials for all these wastes of humans. From the white house to the lawmakers who sat idly by and let this country falter, to the ice agents “just following orders”. And I hope we dismantle everything trump. No courts. No mercy. Globally. Cancel every contract they have given themselves and their friends. Corrupt judges out. End this Christian fascism. Every Trump aligned son of a bitch and bitch delta with
There had to be a World War for Nuremberg to happen. What my fear is instead of World War there will be a World Civil war.
What is a “world civil war” and how is that different from a world war?
My understanding is that a “civil war” is a war within a country, for the dominance and rulership of that country, usually over ideals or laws or something. And a world war is just… a worldwide war. I wish my grandparents were still around to seek real advice on this, I truly miss them and their experience and wisdom.
They will be factions within countries fighting amongst each other. There maybe alliances amongst those factions but no nations against each other. The end an apocalyptic fragments of Nations
You could say that some of the national borders as they exist right now are needlessly artificial.
Take Spain and Catalonia for example. The only reason that Catalonia is not an independent country is because Spain won’t let them be. There’s no real reason other than Spanish national pride and if there was a war between the two you could classify it as a civil war or you could classify it as a war between two countries, it’s entirely a matter of opinion.
But I don’t think that US politics has any real bearing on whether or not that happens. Political instability in the United States doesn’t really lead to any obvious change in internal politics for other countries. External policies obviously would change but not internal ones.
Hope is nice. Class is manufactured
I just thought about ww2, and I just realized how egregious it is that the Japanese and Italians sided with Nazis.
They thought “yes, mhm, we are on that side”.
Italy was more of a trapped situation
Japan pre-nukes however were extremely genocidal fascist, look up some of the stuff they did just before WWII, such as the “Rape of Nanjing”, if anything the Nazis took some inspiration from them
A slight nitpick but Japan didn’t side with the Nazis. They had their own thing going on with China and simply saw the Nazis as an opportunity for some payback. It wasn’t like they really bought into the Nazi ideology as didn’t really apply to them. The Italians were all in on it though.
Had the war turned out differently there would have been a radical cultural difference between Nazi controlled Europe and Japanese controlled Asia. In the long run it would have probably led to another war because of the extreme cultural differences.
While they didn’t 100% buy into all the details of Nazi ideology, the Japenese did believe themselves to be the superior race among the Asian peoples.
IME most still do.
In the long run it would have probably led to another war because of the extreme cultural differences.
Like a cold war.
Alternative history is sort of difficult because we don’t know what the capabilities of those powers would have been. In order for the Nazis to have won the war a lot of people on both sides would have needed to make quite radically different decisions.
However it doesn’t take much theorizing to suggest that Nazi Germany would have probably had nuclear weapons in that scenario (the Germans were moving in that direction towards the end of the war, but were never really able to make much progress because by that point they were losing badly and didn’t have the resources anymore).
I can’t see how Japan would have ended up with nuclear weapons though. So I suspect a certain amount of power imbalance would have existed.
Don’t sell Italy and Japan short.
Mussolini invented fascism, and did population-scale deployment of chemical weapons in Ethopia… Imperial Japan are absolutely an all-time G.O.A.T of horrific war crimes.
Their behavior was egregious, and that’s why they sided with the nazis.
Japan never even spoke to the Nazis.
You can’t have a World Civil War?
A civil war is between factions inside of the same country
We should do it for invasions in middle east etc too while at it.
You are dreaming. USA did this TWICE. There is no turning back from this. The People of the USA seems to forget a lot in 4 years. So who will the next trump be, once the egg prices goes up again? USA will never be trusted again. They are in catagory with Russia and china.
The USA will be treated as even less trustworthy than Russia and China. Russia and China are of course untrustworthy but at least they are consistently untrustworthy. Everyone knows to give them a wide birth.
But the USA, they insinuated themselves into high-level defence pacts and international military cooperation. Then they decided to turn fascist and destroy everything for no readily apparent reason.
If there is going to be any repairing of fences, it’s going to have to start off with the US paying for all the damage they have done to the world order and all of the renegotiating of contracts that has had to be done because they didn’t feel like fulfilling their international obligations. And also justice, if the Trump admin don’t end up in prison then the rest of the world is going to see that for what it is. An attempt to defend the indefensible, and therefore an indication that they have not truly changed.
Am I munching the onion?
Fine. I declare myself god. Checkmate.
I declare myself as One-above-god, checkmate on you, loser!
Well I declare myself One-above-god + 1! You are inferior deity!
Nuh uh. I’m god times infinity.
I’m god times infinity! (Infinity factorial.)
Well I’m G∞D, checkermate.
I recognize Delcy Rodriguez as the legal President of Venezuela, and I sincerely wish her the best of luck picking up where Maduro left off (in some way). Seriously!
We don’t need another latina American woman president. Just look at how Peru and Mexico suffered
Trump needs to go to prison now.
He needed to go to prison on January 7th, 2021 with his trial starting the next day, and immediately barred from running for office under the 14th amendment of the US constitution regardless of the outcome of his trial or any pardons.
He’s spiraling into a singularity of narcissistic terror over [Jeffrey] Epstein, and decompensating with performative dictatoring
Couldn’t have said it better.
I’m not convinced he cares that much about Epstein. As far as not liking anything that makes him look bad, sure. But he’s sending out armed thugs to murder Americans and getting away with it. Why should he care about being outed as a pedophile?
There must be something that he considers embarrassing, so obviously not pedophilia.
I don’t think he can feel embarrassment, only anger.
He doesn’t feel embarrassment, but he hates when other people don’t constantly sing his praises. Being a pedo subtracts from the cheering throngs. By a frighteningly small margin.
I think it needs to be something like him getting a blowjob from a man (or boy). That is something much of his base might consider unforgivable.
But also maybe something like being peed or shat or cummed on.
Nah, getting head from a man or a boy would still put him in a positivo of power, it’s been like this since time immemorial
I heard something about his involvement in the case of a “disappeared” associate in Moscow, with that being Putins kompromat on him.
Being poor.
Of course he doesn’t care. But his base does care about Epstein and he knows he (for now still) needs their support.
It’s the only thing that actually threatens his base of support.
Epstein files is the only thing that shuts the chuds up. They’re cheering about Venezuela and getting off to ICE murders. But they, for whatever reason, only draw the line at pedophilic elitism.
I don’t think it would shut them up. A few would be peeled off, sure, but in the end they’d just make excuses for it like they always do. They draw the line when it’s not the Dear Leader they worship that’s the subject.
Well, no it won’t change the true believers minds outright. That is true. But I do know the biggest divisions we’ve seen in public with the GOP has been over the epstein files.
Anecdotally it’s the only topic the chuds I know don’t want to discuss, be aware of, or have to do the work to justify.
So if anything it thins their ranks a bit, which is absolutely a worthwhile end. No other wedge issue has been as effective.
I’ll take anything at all that creates even the tiniest bit of discord among them at this point. I just think we should temper our expectations of how much good it would actually do.
He’s over Epstein. He decided fuck it, he’s going for total power so that whatever is said about Epstein he can just ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
I was told here though that it was perfectly fine what he did and totally didn’t take over the government because he didn’t put the noble peace prize winner into power
To this kind of news, pessimists would say “it can’t get any worse than this.” Optimists would say “it can, it can.” TIL, “I can” is the new MAGA.
