Hitler was able to persecute the Jews because he convinced enough people that they were the root of all of the problems plaguing Germany. He made them into a boogieman.
I've learned not to get my hopes up, but if you can't acknowledge the similarities (at least a superficial coincidence), then there's no hope for intelligent dialogue.
It is absolutely
bonkers that you would cite this as an example. And then say someone is stupid if they can't see it?? Take off the blindfold, broham. š
Your former (p)resident called Trump supporters, straight-up, "GARBAGE".
He said:
āMake America Great Againā philosophy is āsemi-fascismā
āBlind loyalty to a single leader"
"willingness to engage in political violence"
"fatal to democracyā
"undermining the nation's democratic values"
"elements aligned with the MAGA movement promote violence"
āa grave threat"
"A threat to democracy! A threat to democracy! A threat to democracy" over and over and over again.
The entire democratic party has followed suit. The media has followed suit. Their over-riding goal being to get everyone to believe that anyone and everyone who supports Trump is a fascist and a threat to democracy. Now, I'm sure you have a "basket of deplorable" comments Trump made about
democrat supporters, about an
entire class of people... about
half of the entire country, right?
Because, honestly... "Hitler was able to persecute the Jews because he convinced enough people that they were the root of all of the problems plaguing Germany. He made them into a boogieman."... Fits the former POTUS to. a. T. šÆ
