Leave it up to moderate liberals to roll over and die. Way to signal his kingship guys, fucking top notch pick, that Merrick Galand. To think this ineffective dipshit was considered for SCOTUS. Literally a direct historical correlation to the rise of Hitler through ineffective and complacent liberalism from the socialist party. I guess when you construct a DOJ that doesn't prosecute billionaires the whole thing short circuits when the tyrant is one.. who could have predicted that except every leftist and historian?
I'd quit too. America was too stupid to not vote trump in again, so why the hell martyr yourself for half a country of clowns when it gains you nothing?
Guess this election really was the nail in the coffin for me regarding how people were so blind and meek regarding Hitler's rise to power. Guess anyone that's not a leftist really does just let it happen, and the left is turned ineffective due to being labeled too extreme
History will think of today's USA the same way we thought about nazi Germany: wondering why nobody just put a bullet through Hitler's skull
We have a socialist party?
The Republicans sure think so lmao
"COMMUNIST MARXIST FASCISTS" are our preferred pronouns according to Shitler.
No, and neither did Germany.
Maybe I’m not getting something here, but why do you think Germany didn’t have a socialist party?
Because at the time of the Nazi takeover, the party with that name was wholly operating as a rubber stamp to the most extremist right wing elements taking hold of their party. "The Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea" is similarly nondescriptive as "German Worker's Party" later purposely misleadingly named to "National Socialist German Workers' Party" after Hitlers rise.
Ah I see. Yes, no doubt the NSDAP wasn’t socialist but that doesn’t mean Germany didn’t have socialist parties back then. E.g. the social democrats were still marxist, iirc.
As an aside it is very saddening that people really think the nazis were leftists because of the name. That’s just a level of stupidity I can’t fathom to comprehend.
Republicans have spent a lot of time and money spreading that propaganda. Which is interesting, because today's Nazis, just like the OG Nazis, cannot WAIT to start killing anyone that is or might be a "Communist". But somehow Nazis are Communists/leftists.
No one ever accused magaforbrains of being smart.
They weren't calling Nazis "socialist," they were clearly referring to actual socialists in Weimar Germany.
I believe they were referring to the German Social Democratic Party, which was in power for a time during the Weimar Republic.
