If you agree he is "channeling" and I do too, the same ideas, how the fuck does that make him harmless? It isn't that Trump even wants to be a despot, I simply think he spent his life being told "a loser is a loser" and anything less made a looser unworthy. He mimics the same cheap "tough guy" act because it works, just like it did for Hitler.
I love that you argue with things people never say. It's as if you have voices in your head that are arguing you with too as you try to argue with me.
I never said he was harmless(that's your voices again), but comparing the two as if they're equals just shows a complete lack of understanding of how Hitler came power and the methods he used, and then you double down on that lack of understanding by claiming the "tough guy" act worked for Hitler. Not only is that such an asinine comment, it doesn't even remotely come close to describing how Hitler seized power.
You're just so desperate to use whatever hyperbole you can to discredit Trump, but that is futile considering no one can discredit Trump like Trump can.
I never said they were "equals" but to ignore that lunatic is to allow the weed to grow. Trump is dangerous, not in the context he can destroy the nation or the world overnight, but the tone he sets and his delusional narcissistic hyper nationalistic tone. It is not "hyperbole" when you have 50 former GOP law agents agreeing with you. I am not asking you to believe me. It literally would be like grabbing someone out of a mental hospital and handing them the nuclear codes.
Hitler seized power because he tapped into Germany's population's desperation and insecurity and wanting a hero to save them. Trump is using the same tactic of preying on fear Hitler did. Hitler was a great orator, he put on a great show. I don't mean that means a "great show" makes him moral, just that Hitler knew how to tap into people's emotions. Trump certainly does not have the same government Hitler did when he decided to get involved in politics. But he does know how to push buttons otherwise he would not be the GOP nominee.
