Stop acting like Nazis and maybe we’ll think about it.

The Republicans are acting verbatim in accordance with Hitler’s Nazi playbook.

Bingo. Here we are 80 years later. We should have remembered this from 1945 but our "free press" is now bought and paid for via whores of the billionaires.

"FASCISM!" Defining points from Army Talk Orientation - March 24, 1945:

The people run democratic governments, but fascist governments run the people. Fascism is a way to run a country. Fascism is government by the few and for the few. The objective is seizure and control of the economic, political, social, and cultural life of the state.

Once in power, fascists maintain power by use of force combined with propaganda based on primitive ideas of "blood" and "race," by skillful manipulation of fear and hate, and by false promises of economic prosperity and security.

The fascists promise everything to everyone: They would make the poor rich and the rich richer. To the farmers, the fascists promise land through elimination of large estates. To the workers they promise elimination of unemployment - jobs for all at high wages. To the small business men they promise more customers and profits through the elimination of large business enterprises. To big business men and the industrialists they secretly promise greater security and profits through the elimination of small business competitors and trade unions, and crushing socialists and communists.

It is easy enough for the fascists to promise all things to all people before they are in power. Once they are actually in power, they could not, of course, keep their contradictory promises. They intended in advance to break some, and they do break those they had made to the middle classes, the workers, and the farmers.

As soon as the fascists are in control of the government, the torturings and the killings are no longer the unlawful acts of a political party and its hoodlum gangs; they are official government policy. Among the first victims of this official policy are those farmers, workers, and small business men who had believed the promises that had been made to them and who complained that they had been "sucked in." Some simply vanish. The concentration camps and graves are filled with the opponents of fascism.

Some Americans would give an emphatic "No" to the question, "Can fascism come to America after it has been defeated abroad?" They would say that Americans are too smart, that they are sold on the democratic way of life, that they wouldn't permit any group to put fascism over in America.

In a good many European nations, the people felt the same way some of us do: that fascism was foreign to them and could never become a power in their land. They found, however, that fascist-minded people within their borders, especially with aid from the outside, could seize power.

Most of the people in America like to be good neighbors. But, at various times and places in our history, we have had sorry instances of mob sadism, lynchings, vigilantism, terror, and suppression of civil liberties. We have had our hooded gangs, Black Legions, Silver Shirts, and racial and religious bigots. All of them, in the name of Americanism, have used undemocratic methods and doctrines which experience has shown can be properly identified as "fascist."

Can we afford to brush them off as mere crackpots? We once laughed Hitler off as a harmless little clown with a funny mustache. Whenever free governments anywhere fail to solve their basic economic and social problems, there is always the danger that a native brand of fascism will arise to exploit the situation and the people.

An American fascist seeking power would not proclaim that he is a fascist. Any fascist attempt to gain power in America would not use the exact Hitler pattern. It would work under the guise of "super-patriotism" and "super-Americanism." Fascist leaders are neither stupid nor naive. They know that they must hand out a line that "sells." Huey Long is said to have remarked that if fascism came to America, it would be on a program of "Americanism."

Pass it on.

Yep, this is some rich maga defecation. Maga talks about putting targets on the backs of Democrats then do campaign videos of shooting automatic weapons on those targets years ago.

tRump the pedophile claims "good people on both sides" at the Charlottesville hate rally; "Jews will not replace us" with tiki torches.

Maga promotes the "BIG LIE" that the 2020 election was stolen and gather up all that hate on the January 6th attempted overthrow of our Government while stomping on the Police.

Maga turns loose the January 6th traitors that beat up the Police via pardons from the king pedophile himself.

Maga make jokes and laugh at Paul Pelosi getting hit in the head with a hammer by some crazed moron. It is an endless stream of vile hate coming out of the defecation pile called maga.

If maga can trash talk the Epstein Victims to protect pedophilia billionaires, they will have NO PROBLEM pushing Democrats and Non-Whites into the ovens of the new Final Solution.

RESIST!

If JD Vance doesn’t like the regime called Nazi or fascist, everyone from Dementia Boi on down should stop acting and looking that way. This regime ticks every Nazi fascist box on the list of totalitarian actions.

Vance was right the first time he spoke back in 2016 or whenever he said Trump was “America’s Hitler.”

I believe he still believes that but has switched his own rhetoric to match what Trump and other MAGA’s want. Power means more to him than anything else.

He’s just as disgusting and evil as his kankly boss and the others in this regime of terror.

I believe that vd jance just sees an opportunity and chameliolizes himself to be whatever is in "vogue" to seize that opportunity. I read something today about the MAGAs eye opener when they find out who Peter Theil really is... and their recoilment in horror. (I'm making up words as I go - 🤣🤣🤣

Hey fascist, we’ll call you anything we want. It’s called freedom of speech. It’s in the First Amendment of the Constitution, you should read it some time.

JD should look in the mirror if he want to stop political violence speech. He should look at the man he supports and tell him - not to "hate" his oppenent. He should listen to the words of one of his closest co-worker, Stephen Millet, and tell him to stop the hate speech. Maybe, JD, start with your own house before you come to the dems house. Show by example. See if you can get your house in order first. Then come for a visit

To paraphrase a line or two from "Whatever Happened To Baby Jane":

Vance: You shouldn't be calling Republicans Nazis

Democrats: But you are Nazi's, you are.
