This is where they aim to take us.

The Tennessee Federation of Republican Women is coming under fire for providing parents a reading list for children that cites Adolf Hitler as an example of leadership. www.timesfreepress.com/news/2025/ja...

There was another group that tried this last year. But there will absolutely be more of this.

hntdove.bsky.social•59 days ago

Yeah, that Moms for Liberty chapter. I remember.

Yeah....Lincoln was wrong. We really should have hanged more rebels.

hntdove.bsky.social•58 days ago

Lincoln might have made it work. The guys after him sure didn't.

anungunrama1944.bsky.social•58 days ago

Maybe. It's not a bad idea for an alt history novel. What would lincolns second term have been like if he had lived?

hntdove.bsky.social•58 days ago

Write it! I'm probably done with Civil War stuff, maybe except for this one weird thing...

What if aliens attack during the battle of gettysburg?

There's a phrase that gets mentioned very occasionally in UK politics. 'If you mention Hitler, you've lost the argument!'

Even Godwin has said his law--which I've seen substituting Nazi for Hitler--does not apply to Trump.

I hope someone uses this as support for drag queen story hour, out of Hitler's example with Goering.

They can want in one hand, shit in the other, and see which one gets full first; and I intend to be taking "oh my god, why did I eat so much cheese" dumps in that hand.

WHAT THE FCK?

One of the things that is the most infuriating is their “Urkel Defense” when called on stuff like this. (must…hold..back…fist of attitude adjustment)

I remember when I would tell people that I’m from Tennessee and they would ask me if I can play guitar? Those were the days.

kfcaudell.bsky.social•59 days ago

When you tell people you live in Nashville, they still ask if you're in the music bidness, especially if you actually happen to be playing music at the time. 😉

What the ever-loving hell is wrong with this world? How did we get from rooting for Nazi punching to this? I honestly don't understand it, I can't put it together with any level of logic.

To Sudetenland?

kfcaudell.bsky.social•59 days ago

And sadly, I live in TN, where one of our state reps just filed legislation to amend the Constitution to allow Trump to run for a third term. *sigh*

absenescence.bsky.social•58 days ago

Wasn't it also so that non-consecutive 2 terms would allow for a third run? It's not quite like Russia's amendment that allowed for two consecutive terms if interrupted by a Medvedev, but it still smells like makhorka.

kfcaudell.bsky.social•58 days ago

Yep. Written specifically to exclude Obama and Clinton.

kfcaudell.bsky.social•58 days ago

Oh, and he also filed legislation about taking over Greenland. I wish I were making this up. My only consolation is that he isn't my rep, but my rep isn't much better, sadly.

My ancestors who fought in WW2 would like a few words. . . .

greenboy01.bsky.social•59 days ago

Sounds about white

leswilliams.bsky.social•59 days ago

JFC !!!! That is scary !

doctorwombat.bsky.social•59 days ago

Do the Ben Shapiro’s & Steven Miller's just not see this? I just don't understand how you can ally yourself with people who want your whole culture dead, even if you all really hate brown people...
