…To 1930s Germany
Okay it’s getting kind of crazy out there.
For those that may not have noticed Vladimir Putin has just relaunched the Cold War by invading Ukraine. Fox Pravda, along with way too many Conservative Republicans, is on his side. Senator Josh Hawley along with Tucker Carlson keep providing Russian talking points in their arguments for appeasement. After all for Putin this is just legitimate political discourse.
Been here before.
Prior to the United States entering into World War Two there American Nazis on the side of Hitler. (Yes it’s true) < https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/americans-hold-nazi-rally-in-madison-square-garden > Twenty thousand American Nazis gathered for the “Pro-America” rally. Six months later Hitler invaded Poland.
It is my sincere hope that most people know about what happened during WWII. Sadly too many people seem not to know or else don’t care and to make matters worse we have Nazis in America again. They support the Trump Republican agenda along with their fellow compadre racist groups. (Confederates, White Nationalists, White Supremacists, et al.)
Footsteps
Trumper Republican Rick Scott just released his own personal platform. The Republican Party doesn’t currently have a platform and according to Senator McConnell they’ll let people know what it is when they take back the Senate. In addition Senator Scott, that’s Senator Rick Scott not to be confused with Senator Tim Scott who wants to be Trump’s VP in 2024, in addition to want to name the border wall the Trump wall said that there are only 2 genders. Now the reason that I mention this part of his 31 page manifesto is that the Nazis also went after Gay people, the physically challenged, people of color along with those of the Jewish faith and Roma. There were others that just didn’t fit in with the “Master” race. Their concentration camps had an open door policy to anyone that was different from them.
I still remember Trump mocking a disabled person. Yes I watched the video several times. It was obvious that he was mimicking the person’s disability. Remember this is a guy that rates women. Trump is also currently claiming that his legal troubles are racist. He’s being picked on because he’s a white guy. The Trump Party wants to make things better for the down trodden white people by taxing poor people that aren’t currently paying taxes because you know—they’re poor. Republicans are going to fix that by taxing them. They have to make up for the trillions in tax breaks that they gave to the rich.
Off the rails
Now this is where things kind of go off the rails. Commies and Nazis historically don’t play nice together. However the Trump Party in a maganificent display of reaching across the aisle has risen in support of Communist Russia headed by Vladimir Putin in invading Ukraine. They do this while accusing Democrats of being Socialists. Talk about irony.
Putin, Xi, Un are the type of men that Trump admires and loves. This reminds me of the actual Nazi that won a Republican primary and the party blamed the media rather than those that voted for him. Crazy. Trump practically waxes poetic about his feeling for the North Korean despot.
Now Trump and his entourage of sycophants are praising the “genius” of Putin for invading Ukraine like he did. Being a thug and using brute force isn’t “genius.” It’s being a thug and using brute force. It’s thuggery. Trump admires thuggery. It’s why he encouraged thuggery in his attempted coup at the Capitol to overturn the vote of the people.
I just
finished listening to Trump praise Putin and say that the United States should
do what Putin is doing on our southern border. The man is a wannabe dictator
and his MAGA followers want him to realize his dream.
Thugs for thugs
Trump is crowing that Putin left Ukraine alone under his administration. Why is that?
Trump was accomplishing much of Putin’s agenda. Trump undermined NATO and the EU. Trump undermined Ukraine and still is. He divided the United States like we haven’t been divided since the civil war. Along with his Trump party supporters he staged the first attempted coup the United States has ever experienced and has damaged our form of government in the eyes of the world. The Trump Party is the biggest threat to our democracy since the Civil War. The Trump Party is Pro Russia.
And Putin knows it.
