  • It is very clear where he got his ideas from. The Daily Show put together a nice summary.

    The words he uses are not common expressions. They aren’t even phrases you might accidentally reinvent.

    He uses very direct language from Hitler’s speeches.

    • Blood of our nation
    • Vermin
    • Fake news
    • Make America great again
    • Referring to enemies as animals
    • Retribution

    All of it is clearly stolen for Hitler’s playbook. Trump gets on the stage and suddenly he speaks with a 1930’s vocabulary.






  • Not necessarily. If you were born into a household that watches Fox… Guess what you believe. There’s a reason the South so powerfully believes in that garbage. Not to mention Fox is on in the lobbies of sooo many business lobbies. It is very difficult to escape a cult.

    As much as I loathe the right wing, the people it has engulfed might not have been that way under a different upbringing. Nature vs. nurture.




  • I will never understand how people that strongly identify as Christian have never actually read the book their identity is based upon.

    There’s plenty of Bible verses about worshipping false idols, and greed. Here are a couple:

    All who make idols are nothing, and the things they treasure are worthless.

    Whoever oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God.

    …Yet Christians worship a ruthless billionaire and a rapist.
