That's why Trump reminds me of Hitler. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not The Real Gaga 7,582 Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 People get sued here in The Netherlands when they say something like that about a politician. I am sorry, but such comparisons are totally irrational and out of proportions. Again, I am not an American, but your democratic system is sick and you can't blame the opposite party for it. And, excuse me, but seein' all those (stupid) political fights here on GagaDaily, makes me feel really uncomfortable and not welcome anymore. 'Cause there isn't any form of debate here, it's just all about personal attacks and weak arguments. But, that's something characteristic for the American Elections, I guess. It has literally nothing to do with politics, nothing! You're blaming and bullying each other for everything. Make GagaDaily nice again, please. And a realy, warm-hearted community. Amen.

I get your point but this forum is made of, what, 80-90% LGBT? Americans elected an anti-LGBT president with an even more hostile VP, from what it seems. I'm not surprised this forum is affected. And that's not considering the POCs yet. Flyin' like a 1000 Doves Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mte, even that mentioning of my name in the OP. Like seriously On-topic: you can say what you want but Trump is no way like Hitler and USA is no way like Germany in in the 1930's. Isn't it sad that we need to compare horrible persons though? Like can't we just agree that Hitler was a monster. And Trump right now is a monster as well. Comparisons between to different persons in two different country in two different time zones can't and won't work. We need to see them as individuals and call them out individually. Comparisons are not needed at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was the exact mentality that existed back in the 1920s. It also shows how history repeats itself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red 99,106 Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 As I said in other thread about this, denial is the first stage of grief, upon a great disappointment people's first reaction is very delulu If you see me posting like crazy, I'm either bored or procrastinating.

River 127,344 Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Don't give Trump too much credit, he's kinda dumb and his opinions are mostly similar to the common uneducated American that comments on an article.. Hitler had a plan, he knew what he was doing.. Trump barely knows how the voting system works.. So he's not the next Hitler.. even Kim Jong-un is not yet the next Hitler. One day, unfortunately, we will get the next Hitler again.. it's a circle of life kind of things.. but not atm.. So sploosh your juice all over me you Riverboy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lassex 1,169 Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 To be honest, I don't know anything about politics, but this did immediately remind me of Trump and his supporters. People think he's just trolling, but I'm afraid he's not kidding about his unequal and questionable views. While it might seem dangerous to have him as a president, I still think that he's not able to rebuild a society that discriminates POC, women and the LGBTQ. Hello, it's 2016!

lego 44,165 Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 http://www.gq.com/story/donald-trump-hitler-speeches-book Last April, perhaps in a surge of Czech nationalism, Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler’s collected speeches, My New Order, which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed. Kennedy now guards a copy of My New Order in a closet at his office, as if it were a grenade. Hitler’s speeches, from his earliest days up through the Phony War of 1939, reveal his extraordinary ability as a master propagandist. “Did your cousin John give you the Hitler speeches?” I asked Trump. Trump hesitated. “Who told you that?” “I don’t remember,” I said. “Actually, it was my friend Marty Davis from Paramount who gave me a copy of Mein Kampf, and he’s a Jew.” (“I did give him a book about Hitler,” Marty Davis said. “But it was My New Order, Hitler’s speeches, not Mein Kampf. I thought he would find it interesting. I am his friend, but I’m not Jewish.”) Later, Trump returned to this subject. “If I had these speeches, and I am not saying that I do, I would never read them.” ------- Gonna repeat myself here - Trump supports torture. - Trump doesn't care about human rights. - Trump plans to intentionally target/kill civilians. - Trump will introduce database of citizens based on religion and doesn't object to them wearing badges to identify themselves. - Donald Trump defended World War II internment camps http://time.com/4140050/donald-trump-muslims-japanese-internment/ FreePalestine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
