    And yet, you’re still doing it.

    As they say: historians have a word for Germans who supported the Nazis because they liked their economic policies, or were afraid of Communists, or they wanted power, or they wanted the business, or any of a hundred other reasons. That word is Nazi. Historians don’t care what their reasons are.

      were afraid of Communists

      It works really great when you draw a circle around everyone not in your tiny camp of Tacolovers/white supremacists and declare them to be “Communists” as so many of the conservatives do.

      I’m sure they did much the same in Hitler’s Germany, too. Everyone that didn’t adore him were probably called socialists, trade unionists, and Communists.

      “I voted for Mr. Hitler because he’d be good for the economy. I didn’t go in for all that Jew-killing stuff. You can’t blame that on me.” --German Citizen, 1946

        Hitler wasn’t elected, unlike Trump. People voted for the Nazi party, and Hitler was appointed.

        Americunts literally voted to elect a convicted felon, rapist, pedophile for a president. So, yeah…

          It was a facetious comment, meant to make a point. It wasn’t meant to be an accurate slice of history, but you know that. This thread is full of lots of insufferable “Actually…” types.

          And Trump didn’t win, it was rigged, and we ALL know it, even MAGAs.

              They just had to change one race in only 7 swing states. Those states had MILLIONS of ballots that were straight Democratic tickets, with Trump at the top. Who votes like that? Have you ever heard of such a person? Has one ever been interviewed on TV? And why were they only in the swing states?

              Trump has cheated on literally EVERYTHING in his entire life. He considers it his competitive advantage, and thinks everybody else is stupid for not cheating, too. He was also facing a probable life sentence in prison, unless he could become president again. So we’re supposed to believe that the only time in his entire life that he didn’t cheat, was the one presidential race that could keep him out of prison? THAT’S when he decided to play it “Fair & Square” for the first time?

              Furthermore, he had the open public commitment and assistance of two foreign Oligarchs with no loyalty to America, and plenty to gain, with UNLIMITED hacking resources, conspiring to rig the vote. In full view of the world. They fucking bragged about it publicly multiple times.

              And again, all they had to do was switch the votes in one race, in only seven states, and Trump won ALL seven states, a statistical impossibility.

              AND AGAIN, why are all those Democratic ballots with Trump at the top concentrated in those seven swing states?

              C’mon, it’s not some wild conspiracy theory, it’s simple Critical Thinking Skills.

        The National Guard are not Nazis… but they can be.

        Our Gestapo are a different story

          Unrelated. My pedantry forces me to point this out:

          “Smh my head” = shakes my head shakes my head.

          But maybe you really did shake it twice.
