Sam Harris On Trump........

[Brian37]

Yes dumbass. This isn't about a short term coup or a sudden change to fascism, but the tone itself is very dangerous long term. Now ask yourself this, if Hillary were saying "Deport all the Christians" or "Catholics are rapists, I am sure some of them are decent" or "That judge is unqualified because of their race" would you find that acceptable? Dont fucking tell me you would.

There were lots of Germans and Jews during Hitler's early days that blew him off. You don't have to take my word for it, even those in the GOP are now realizing the mistake they made. And there doesn't even have to be a coup either, put that shallow narcissist in office, a guy who has such  thin skin that Tweets set him off, how easily that man could start a Nuclear war. He is even too fucking stupid to understand what mutual destruction is.

I didn't say it was acceptable. Where did I say that? Hitler ran on a platform to destroy democracy and start a war. That was his explicit platform. Saying that Trump is not like Hitler is not an endorsement of Trump. It's just a statement of reality.

Yes he is, he doesn't have the same system that Hitler did, no. But the language is extremely similar. 

Hitler blamed the rest of the world for Germany's problems. Hitler used fear and and sold himself as the cure to put Germany back to it's rightful place in the world. Hitler blamed not just Jews, but the Allies and Russia and anyone who wasn't loyal to him, just like Trump is blaming Mexicans and refugees, and even China. Trump even, despite the fact we are economically better off than we were 8 years ago, is using the same language "Make America Great Again". That does sound exactly like the same sales pitch. And while more "watered down" Trump is scapegoating media too.

Dont get stuck on the kind of system we have. That does not change the language Trump is using. It is the same scapegoating shallow hyper nationalism "get tough" lack of substance delusional rhetoric.
