He talks the same. He attacks rivals, he scapegoats multiple minority groups, he attacks the free press.
I wish more people WOULD equate him to Hitler.
Now is it harder for him to do the same thing with the system we have set up? That is a better argument. But the fucker is trying everything he can to destroy our institutions and that cannot nor should be ignored.
The only way he does not do what Hitler does is participation.
I have no doubt that if our Constitution were not there, he'd make a great dictator.
He is attacking our FBI constantly, even those Republicans in the FBI. The guy is a despot wannabe. PERIOD.
Just because he has not completely destroyed our checks and balances so far does not mean long term, our institutions cannot be destroyed.
I make no apologies nor do I have the slightest bit of hesitation in saying he'd become a dictator if he has the chance.
Get back to me when he invades Poland and starts building extermination camps.
Boru
He is already unethically using our military for propaganda when he knows damned well unarmed civilians are not an invading force like an army
Boru, you are missing my point. Just because we have our institutions does not mean they cannot be manipulated or ignored. The lobster can be boiled slowly and not realize it until it is too late. Our system is as only as good as those in power, but equally as important if not more, is only as good as those who care to participate and speak out.
It still remains that 45 is using the same dangerous hyper nationalistic, scapegoating, offering himself up as the only solution, dangerous rhetoric WW2 Germany used against other nations and against minorities and political rivals.
45 does not have to become a dictator no, but he can set up the destruction of our system if people don't hold him to account for his rhetoric.
