LMAO, liberals and assumptions these days amirite?

Just a little surprised. Never would have guessed that you felt that way about Bush, Bush, Reagan et al.
Not saying that it is wrong; I’m just surprised, that’s all.

But hey, are you also on the Moscow payroll now? Is it good money?

Then he goes on to state that pretty much every single US president since WW2 is a war criminal...

... except Lord Trump.

I have to admit at first, I thought, ...maybe trump would be different. To his credit he did not double down on armed conflict. He didn’t start carpet bombing Syria. I’m sure collateral Arabs are relieved about that.

But a very strong argument can be made that all he has done is shift the “bad guys” from ISIS to Mexican gangs and illegal immigration. So instead of the toothless brigade shouting kill all the terrorists. It’s build a wall and wage war on illegal immigration. It’s the same recipe with different ingredients.

Toss in the economic war on allies and enemies alike and it’s really no different at all to all his predecessors.

There is nothing new, it’s still fear greed and hatred

As always it’s the poor, the vulnerable and the powerless who pay.

That’s why I hate trump. He’s the wizard of Oz without the nice Hollywood ending. You pull back the curtain to find the orange Cheeto Christ

And yeah sometimes cliches are cliches for a reason...Herr Doktor

So cracking down on illegal immigration and pushing for more favourable trade deals

... is as bad as "carpet bombing" Arabs?

AND... Trump is as bad as notorious mass-murderer Adolph Hitler.



But you don't suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome at all.

Probably not, but all the anti-Mexican retorics is beginning to fester in the minds of some of the crackpots that are out there:

Wow that some massive air that metaphor got going over your head there Herr Doktor.

Building a straw man argument intentionally perhaps?

The degree may not be the same. Escalating involvement in the war on terror versus escalating the war on drugs via the war on immigration, but the effect is the same.

Trump is exactly no different than any other republican and most democrats. He uses false flags, phantom enemies and creates an atmosphere of fear because that’s the only way he can win enough support to get and stay elected.

But it worse with trump. Not because of trump himself so much but by the way otherwise decent folk have rallied to his side. You love his schtick in the same way Germans loved their Hitler before he brought the whole world down on them.

Like Hitler, Up until 1938, the guy could do no wrong. He solved every problem, he put people back to work, he got the trains running on time. He was adored for those things and in 1938 when Hitler’s rhetoric and deliberate demonizing of the communists and socialists and the Jews went too far his rabid base went right along with him.

Yes it’s true Trump hasn’t yet begun a “final solution” for “illegal” immigrants but if he does he has his truly deranged
Supporters and oh look, he already has the camps complete with children in cages.

And just for fun, check it out, both Hitler and Trump have books The Art of the Deal and Mein Kampf not exactly “the art of war” either one of them but kind of a laugh don’t you think?

Er ...you don’t have copies of both do you Dok?

[Strangelove]

yet

So you start your post by “clarifying” that your metaphor was limited to the fearmongering aspect.

(rather than the *actual* “carpet bombing of Arabs” you mentioned)

You use an article from 3.5 years ago that suggests Trump may have done some fearmongering to get elected.

(Ummm. Every Presidential candidate in American history has been accused of this)

But anyway. Okay. You clarify that what you meant is: Fearmongering is Evil.

Then the rest of your post is YOU fearmongering about Trump becoming Hitler Part Deux.

(btw Obama also had “children in cages”… look it up princess)

Okay, where was I…

Oh yes… YOU’RE A FUCKING LOON

“How dare you say I equated Trump’s war on immigration to carpet-bombing Arabs!

To be fair...who isnt carpet bombing the A-rabs?

[ukcanuck]

To be fair...who isnt carpet bombing the A-rabs?

Meh, it was an errant comment meant as a sarcastic metaphor and perhaps throw a bit of shade on a former republican president famous for managing to fuck up the Vietnam war even worse before dodging impeachment over trying to screw the democratic process.

It’s an interesting comparison but I like the pre war Hitler comparison much better. It’s just carbon copy.

Hitler takes over a political party he formerly had little to do with. He hijacks it’s platform and builds a grassroots populist movement that sweeps him into power then he promptly betrays the voters that put him there by getting into to bed with the industrialists and German elites.

And yet the proto-trumpites, the German people loved him for it. Considered him the greatest politician of all time.

All of this is to say, I think some of us are a lot like Hitler’s voters before he suspended the constitution and declared the third reich

Carpet bombing of North Vietnam was conducted under Democratic President Lyndon Johnson.

[ukcanuck]

Carpet bombing of North Vietnam was conducted under Democratic President Lyndon Johnson.

Yeah, it’s true Johnson a Democrat stepped up a war that another democrat president “lord” Kennedy started

But it was newly “inaugurated President Richard Nixon who authorized for the first time use of long-range Boeing B-52 Stratofortress heavy bombers to carpet bomb Cambodia.”

Secretly bombing a nation you are not at war with kinda tops Johnson in my books.
