2020 Presidential Race

Yes, as a history major, it was expected that I have an adequate understanding of U.S. and world history.

Any other questions to divert from the parallel I drew between the rise of Hitler and our current political climate??

The mindset of the 1920-30s German is almost 180 degrees from that of today's American. There isn't really a parallel to be drawn since the cultures are completely different.

Doesn't change the fact that Trump is incompetent. Has Trump accomplished a damn thing on his own? Look at what his own sister said about him. His whole persona as a self-made billionaire is a complete lie. Nothing is genuine about Trump. He inherited most of what he has. He cheated his way into college and lied his way out of the draft.

Shes like deciding on Taco Bell for supper , you can go there but you are going to regret it latter and for the same reason . Lol

 

[southgatevol]

Hitler was the "lesser evil?" Interesting take.

There wasn't really a lesser evil. For how many of his own citizens deaths was Hitler responsible? How many Stalin? How many for Trump because of his policies in his time in public service? How many Biden during his time in public service?

Words have meaning, people need to reel back on their rhetoric, they might not like the outcome if they persist.

Especially coddled uppity spoiled entitled corrupt old white women who couldn't fend off a cold let alone an angry mob.

Not going to go through these one by one, but there is one that immediately jumps out at me here... "Mortgage applications to a 7 year high"? As someone who takes mortgage applications for a living, would you mind explaining to me exactly what in the hell Donald Trump has done to deserve credit for that?

 

[ajvol01]

And you didn't see the story about Lightfoot blocking off her neighborhood?

I did not.

The "credit" is due to the majority of the public's outlook and perception on today and tomorrow, not any one man (Trump or any elected official) or thing would be my opinion.

This is a great example of the typical Trump grift.

STEP 1: Create a problem through your own incompetence.

STEP 2: Blame someone else.

STEP 3: Declare victory after you band-aid the wound you made.

If people have more financial security they are more likely to buy a house.

That was listed under "President Trump's Accomplishments". Absurd.

 

[LouderVol]

Hitler was the "lesser evil?" Interesting take.

The germans allowed themselves to believe the Nazis were less evil than the commies. Anything hitler did, stalin did as well. The only reason there isnt the same outrage is because we didnt find their concentration camps.

The germans listened to one side that said they were "better" than the other.

The nazis won the popular election. And we have been told that's al that matters. That's society getting to choose, individual rights be darned.

 

[BowlBrother85]

If people have more financial security they are more likely to buy a house.

An increase in applications does not mean that we have more homeowners. The nation's home-ownership rate has fallen from 65.2% in 2013 to 65.1% in 2019. It's basically unchanged since Trump took office.

lol "my leftist daughters and their friends sang kumbaya at some back-woods Georgia protest, so there are no instances of violence in these protests anywhere"

 

[MontyPython]

Trump came up with that tweet in 5 seconds while taking a dump, and it's literally all you have thought about for a week.

Trumpito really is the Michael Jordan of trolling the left.

Pathetic rationalization.

 

[LouderVol]

So,
He didn't shutdown travel outside the United States.
He didn't cancel his rallies.
He's not pushing for a vaccine and giving them Billions to produce it.
He didn't order GM to produce ventilators and other companies to make masks?

Only to China, where it started.
His rallies arent a national concern. Nice try.
Pushing for a vaccine isnt overstepping his power.
Order via tweet, or actually martial law where the government actually seized control of their plants to make sure it got done.

I am not seeing a whole lot of overstep

Because you're not looking.
An "order" is a very authoritarian move not to mention all his EO's being tossed out by the courts.

lol............You sited a bunch of sh*** sources. That proves my point much more than it does yours. Fear Porn Propaganda.
PBS
Chicago 5 - WTH?
MSN - WTH?
The U S Sun - WTH?
RT - WTH?
Daily Caller - WTH?
Fox News - WTH?

There was one legitimate source (PBS) and it was a minor story about beefed up security around her house.

Check out the crap sources he provided.

 

[Ten_Titans]

Pathetic rationalization.

That isn't a rationalization of Trump, it's just an observation of you guys.

You play this weird game of bouncing back and forth between taking stuff Trump says and saying he's a thoughtless buffoon, and taking stuff Trump says and deeply analyzing it ad nauseam for meaning and malicious intent.

It is hilarious to watch.

So local news is now propaganda?

Someone let WBIR, WVLT, WATE know.

But, seriously, how absurd is the notion all along with this political points stuff......I agree a little absurd, but, what about anything political today is not?
