Hitler eventually invaded all of mainland Europe save for fellow Axis Power country Italy, and even then, he eventually softly took over the country once the Italians were driven out of Africa during WWII.

But Trump is "literally Hitler". Please.

ballentyneapp, you're a troll. Go away.

Do you always pepper all your arguments with non sequiturs and strawmen?

No one mentioned hitler except you. Trump is more of a less competent and more corrupt Berlusconi. Berlusconi spent more of his time chasing skirts, and liked his women of legal age, but they share some similarities too, like mob ties.

Berlusconi did hate the Russians though. You never can get a 100% match

He's one of the guilty ones. One of his deranged supporters almost killed Steve Scalise back in 2017. He has blood on his hands.

This all leads back to Obama.

This is so ******* stupid it doesn't deserve an actual thought out response.

Shouldn't you be packing for the trains to haul you off to the concentration camps?

Already apologized and explained. I have learned to ignore Andy's pessimistic attitude, but combined with an overnight job that I didn't get any sleep and too much vile on social media I snapped. My words were no better than the things that had been pissing me off all day.

To clarify further, I wasn't saying I think Andy should be hauled off to a concentration camp. That is just a statement he has made as far back as I can remember that the left will be packing up conservatives for concentration camps any day now.

Bob, I would encourage you to read about what happened during the Communist Revolutions of the last century, and what happened to the opposition when the left took 100% control of the government. In the US, we're about 80-90% of the way there.

A fabulous book, and an equally powerful miniseries: "A Gentleman in Moscow".

"Policatal violence is politcal cowerdice. It means that you cannot convince people of the correctness of your ideas and you have to impose them through force."

I've been saying this for years and have heard it said countless times over the past 36 hours...you can't call your opponents Fascists or Hitler for 10 years and then act shocked when someone tries to, or actually does, kills them.

It's a nice gesture by Bernie now, but he and his ilk all have blood on their hands over this. They opened a door I'm afraid they won't be able to close. The fringe on the left has been pushed, or allowed to push, too far.

Republicans particularly MAGA have to do a better job seperating themselves from fascism.

Facism is characterized by:

dictatorial leader: check
centralized government: check
suppression of opposition: check
militarism: not there yet but sending the military out to cities might qualify
subordination of individual interests to state: debateable.
intense nationalism often tied to perception of national decline: double check with a side of triple check
Propaganda and a cult of personality: woo boy.
Economic control: check

This is unfortunate reality for many of you on here. Donald trumps regime does check most of the boxes for textbook fascism.

Love you brother but any person of decent intellect can easily tell that all these "fascist" claims is a stretch in hyperbole. The real reason people say it so often and so loudly is to invoke fear. And we saw what that stoked fear created here.

Agreed, and a lot of the leftist leadership as well as the left-wing legacy media refuse to own up to it. They always say "it's both sides doing it." The left calls us names because of our beliefs. We call them out because of their actions and policies. (We also call each other out on our actions, because that's what we're supposed to do.)

Trumps cult of personality is so strong there's a guy in another thread claiming he has special insoles for his bone spurs so he can continue thinking of Trump as some sort of almost hero who would have been a great solider (the best) instead of a rich draft dodger who then called soliders who died in Europe losers and suckers.

You’re a fool who believes liars. You are the prog filth.

But you certainly have the right to say all the stupid chit you want. No one on the right is gonna kill you for your moronic views.

Amen brother.

If people got killed just for having moronic views this section of CSNbbs would be very lonely

Someone did just get killed for his views you moron. And you, by association, called him a fascist.

1. He was a fascist
2. He didn’t deserve to be killed for his views anyway

I have never heard of a fascist saying it's ok to disagree and then inviting people to pick up a mic and debate him.

Andy's not wrong. There was no need to attack him.

Still, I do commend the "Perpetual Oligarchy Fighter" for condemning Charlie Kirk's assassination. A lot of leftist politicians are condemning it, too, including Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar.

Now why would I give kudos to someone for denouncing murder based on political views? That's like patting someone on the back for denouncing abusing an infant.

We have lowered the bar so far that basic humanity is now congratulated.

I understand where you're coming from. (And I was also somewhat making fun of Bernie sanders, too. lol)

Really, it shouldn't take something like this to condemn political violence. And yes, you're right. We should be better.
