I’m pretty sure Hitler’s takeover of Germany was worse. You still have idiots marching in the streets today claiming to be NAZIs
Or the insurrection that actually managed to kill thousands of Americans, our Civil War.
This was horrific, but getting hyperbolic about it just feeds the right wing propaganda machines further.
I get the sense you're a bit biased here lol. If you think any of these politicians at the top give a shit about you, you're wrong.
Trump is just selfish (like most big politicians). You can't have no vision and a vision for how to destroy mankind at the same time.
It's a bit illogical to say you hate insurrectionists and people trying to alter society for their own benefit, and also say "id rather have Hitler as a president".
Do you see the irony here?
The dangerous thing about Hitler is at least in the beginning he was competent. Trump wasn't - and so far hasn't done anything to make me think he's changed. The thing that has saved us from Trump was his sheer incompetence.
Fair enough, I see where you're coming from. Id suggest though, that selfishness and greed are easy to predict - moreso than radicals whose country was backed into a corner of starvation and depression by the rest of the world.
"say what you like about Hitler, at least he had vision"
Damn, that's a really silly thing to have said.
