Assassination attempt on Trump (5 Viewers)

Would be spectacular if Trump and Biden could stand side by side on video in denouncing political violence. Won't hold my breath but that would mean a lot.

That would be great, but I highly doubt Trump would agree to it since he’s on a tear with the “we’re under attack from the evil left” narrative

Anyone referring to Trump and Hitler in the same sentence to try to make some comparison between the two is making a moronic statement. Full stop.

I haven’t heard anyone here mention that, but I’ve certainly heard it here and there other places.

I may think that Trump’s rhetoric is incredibly dangerous for the country and that he clearly emboldens those who want violence and a christofascist state, but at some point one has to recognize that emotion and anger don’t make illogical takes logical.

The reason people compare the two is there is a comparison to be made

Not to deep WW2/concentration camp Hitler but quite a few Trump quotes are eerily similar to late 20s early 30s Hitler statements including the recent “poisoning the blood of our nation”

Would he feel better if Democrat politicians where saying to bad the shorter missed?

That's exactly what that Thompson staffer said.

But that's not a response to what I posted. It's a non sequitur. My post was a response to GG post.

Do you think that post will make GG happier? Also, if that post is even true (Libs of Tiktok is not the least bit credible), it's a staffer and not the actual politician himself. What has Thompson said?

There are many historians and scholars who see the parallels between the rise of the Nazi Party in Germany and the MAGA movement. It’s easy to find their discussions and to actually see the parallels. It’s certainly not moronic to see the similarities and warn against them. I can find some if you are genuinely interested next time I’m on here as I am about to leave for the day.

Germany largely sleepwalked into a fascist takeover. We would like to prevent that here. The ones who are Christofascist have clearly aligned with Trump, and are preparing to use him if he gains power. And I have zero reason to believe he would resist their efforts.

It's not surprising that you would think Trump is like Hitler based on the left wing sources you post here the most.

If you think Trump is like Hitler, you have been brainwashed and you aren't living in reality.

So, if we go by what the mandarin crisis actor said about the school shooting in Iowa back in Jan., he should just 'get over it'...

So, does the maga crowd send out xmas cards w/ them hoisting semi-automatic AR-15's this yr?

Trump is uniquely dangerous amongst American politicians and we've already seen some of the ramifications of that play out.. but yeah, what he is stands alone and so just leave out all of the comparisons.

@SaintForLife which statement you want to corroborate what I said? There are many. Let’s start with this one:

Here’s one: “The Democrats preach unity but practice division. They are the real threat to our democracy!”

I don’t think anyone has mentioned Biden denying Trump or RFK Jr SS details. However, who is denying them those details?

Biden doesn't have a say in SS details of other former Presidents. That's strictly under the purview of the SS. Anyone telling you otherwise doesn't know what they're talking about.

Trump would have been killed if he hadn't turned his head, but your take is to criticize him for previously saying we're under attack from the evil left?

Yeah it's not like Biden’s DOJ and Democrat prosecutors haven't been trying to jail Trump. Why would Trump think that?

What a weird story. The shooter was a registered Republican that donated to the…



These twists and turns are going to cause whiplash.

That's not true that they had the same addresses, the donation was from a different address than of the shooter, or his voter application.

The shooter lived and voted in Bethel Hills PA, and the one who donated to that Actblue PAC had a Pittsburgh PA mailing address.

His statement you posted is accurate.

Here is Biden practicing division a few weeks ago:

So only statements are needed to make Trump comparable to Hitler? To an American politician with someone who led the execution of millions?

I’m on board that the statements Trump has made are highly troubling. I too fear he is stoking a lot of nationalist unrest and probably feel the same way as you do insofar as how this could end. However, I do not think that statements equivocate to him having any resemblance to Hitler in the slightest, at least from what he was known for (and let’s be honest, the goal whether said or unsaid is to conflate the two a bit ).

That’s not healthy. I can be a Democrat and admit that concerns around these statements are legitimate, in my opinion.

Let me guess. You probably think Trump is like Hitler.

Trump has a lot of similarities to Hitler, but lacks the pure ideological motivation that made Hitler into the worst mass murderer in history. His motivations are much more ego driven and personal.

But there are a lot of people around Trump (like Stephen Miller, Steve Bannon and Project 2025 ) who do have those diabolical ideological motivations that Hitler had.

Agree, Completely my thought.
