"January 30th 1933 dawned cold and clear in Berlin as Adolph Hitler took his oath of office and promised Germans he would uphold the constitution.

@wdlindsy we can’t ever give up hope. If it does indeed get worse, it’s one of the only things they can never take from us. Hope is in short supply, but it’s not exhausted yet!

@wdlindsy
Please stop these intersectional and generational attacks on voter "identity". With only two weeks left there are better ways for you to use your time and your voices.

If Trump wins it will be much as it was in past elections in which he ran. And his support will come overwhelmingly from white people and mostly older white people.

@wdlindsy If they are white Christian men, then it will be easier to control women. Get a woman pregnant, even against her will, and she is his for life.

If they are white racist men, then they look forward to controlling people with a different skin color and culture. They won't have to hear a foreign language and fear being mocked behind their backs. They won't have to look at reminders of how little they know about the world.

@wdlindsy We’re living an actual Twilight Zone episode…who knows how it will end. However they sometimes end with people paying for their poor choices. I’d argue if enough of us, we’ll pay for our foolish in-attention, outlandish expectations or imagined fantasy scenarios.

I am proud to have been a citizen of this experiment in democracty, No world wars since 1945. No conscription since 1973. The highest standard of living at any time and in any country.

The experiment could end in two weeks. It makes me sad for those who follow me.

It took 248 years to build this country and its constitution. It could all be over in months.

@wdlindsy ‘Never again’ was chanted by protesters when investigative journalists in Germany recently exposed secret plans of the far right party to overthrow institutions. Unfortunately, this party still keeps getting the votes particularly in east German states. I urge everyone who voted for AfD in Germany to read this article as history tends to repeat itself. The freedom and rights we experience must never be taken for granted. Choose freedom over living in toxic compliance.

@wdlindsy "But if you asked a hundred or a thousand young men what Trump wants to do that would benefit them, or how the country he wants to create would plausibly be better for them than the one they live in now, I suspect almost none of them would be able to come up with an answer."

Oh, they have an answer.

"Trump normalizes the hate I feel for others who are not like me. That benefits me by making me feel better about my hate."

They're just not going to tell you that answer.

🥥 MAGAs like to say that half the US population supports Trump.
But when you take into account that 40% of USians don't vote, that leaves 60% roughly split between Democratic and Republican voters.
So approx 30% support Trump. And that's about the same percentage of voters that put Adolf Hitler into power in 1933 Germany to disastrous effect for the rest of the world. 🥥

"'I need the kind of generals that Hitler had,' Trump said in a private conversation in the White House, according to two people who heard him say this. 'People who were totally loyal to him, that follow orders.'”

Trump: ‘I Need the Kind of Generals That Hitler Had’

The Republican nominee’s preoccupation with dictators, and his disdain for the American military, is deepening.

The Atlantic (www.theatlantic.com)

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

"A desire to force U.S. military leaders to be obedient to him and not the Constitution is one of the constant themes of Trump’s military-related discourse."

I hope he gets one like Hitler's General Friedrich Olbricht.

@wdlindsy The fact any Congress Critter who supported Jan 6 should be made accountable seems like a fantasy, just like Trump being held accountable?

[neadreport@social.vivaldi.net]

@wdlindsy After his comment about the great Arnold Palmer, I bet he meant to say "I need the kind of genitals that..."

[sdparris@mastodon.social]

@wdlindsy i find it amusing that he thinks the military will do his bidding.

Who was the arsewipe who ran the Gitmo torture program?

He'll know generals who'd stand by Trump.
