Trump Is Copying Hitler’s Early Rhetoric and Policies

[El Correcto]

You said that the klan was needed to stand up against the likes of the Nation of Islam.

Stop living up to your screen name.

I was mocking your silly stance on antifa friend. I know comprehension isn’t a liberal’s strongest asset but ttku.

 

[BrownArmy]

I don't defend him anymore than I did Obama and his fascist tendencies.

It works fine.

Curiously, what would you ascribe to Obama as ‘fascist’ tendencies?

From my vantage point, he was as capitalist as capitalist can be.

He was more ‘left’ than some, to be sure, but this is the guy who bailed out large sectors of the banking industry, etc.

 

[El Correcto]

You don’t condemn a hateful radical group by showing another hateful radical group support.

No you weren’t.

You don’t let a hateful vocal groups go unchallenged.

 

[El Correcto]

Okay then you should have no problem condemning one.

So will you condemn antifa?

Fascism is essentially capitalism and socialism combined. State control over capitalist companies. A capitalist economy that's highly regulated.

Very fine people on both sides.

I already condemned their violence. I like that they show up at white supremacists rallies.

Thank you ricky b

You're welcome UpstateNY!

Not to put too fine a point on it, but I wasn’t asking you.

But, while we’re at it, JA, which of those lazy definitions describes Obama’s policies?

Which in your POV is any Republican rally. SMH

Very fine people!

Strangling business with regulation, controlling healthcare was definitely moving towards a fascist state. You can't see it because the guy doing it was a Democrat.

Wrong.

There’s a reflexive attitude with people like you that ALL REGULATION is wrong.

I’m sorry, I’m actually interested in targeted regulations that address toxic chemicals in my food supply, or dumping of chemicals into the water supply, or worker health and safety, or simple mandates for the general well-being of the citizens of this nation.

Perhaps you’d enjoy the 1890’s, or the 1920’s, when businesses could (and did) do anything and everything they wanted. The pollution was off the charts.

Over-regulation or superfluous regulation is obviously unhelpful, but I don’t mind the government telling the plastics plant that they can’t simply dump the effluents from their process straight into the river.

Regulations aren’t the problem, it’s correct regulations.

Unfortunately, regulations are currently written by the industry’s being regulated.

Does that make sense to you?

This is where you tend to go off the authoritarian deep end, straight loony toons.

I guess it’s straight looney-tunes to expect to live in a world where corporations have, at best, the same rights as people.

I guess, in your world, corporations can do whatever they want?

Can you do whatever you want?

The answer should be yes, since you’re a person, and corporations are people.

Ever seen a corporation brought up on manslaughter?

Ever seen a corporation given the death penalty?

Why can corporations pollute our air and water, and then lobby government to change the rules so they can’t be held accountable?

If I poisoned my neighbor, willfully, I’d go to jail.

Corporations willfully poison folk all the time, but they’re not held to the same standards.

Weird, huh?

They fought so hard for and won ‘personhood’ status, and they enjoy the benefits there in.

But none of the downsides.

Sad.

Trump didn't remove regulations that protect your drinking water, etc. He removed regulations that made businesses jump through all kinds of hoops to start and stay in business. It was Obama's goal to make business fully recognize who was in charge. With high fees to boot. There's your fascism.

I was talking about your “simple mandates” line.
