Come ON.

Biden's campaign keeps linking Trump to Hitler *because Trump keeps echoing Hitler.*

The "extraordinary step" here is what Trump is doing, not Biden's response. https://www.politico.com/news/2023/12/19/biden-trump-hitler-00132367?cid=politico_threads

It's politico, this has been their modus operandi for years, meally mouthed takes and getting the vapors while muddying the waters constantly.

Honestly... It is refreshing that they are acknowledging it.

apollymikatistrafi.bsky.social•449 days ago

This is an open book history test, and far too many people are FAILING this test

freem.bsky.social•449 days ago

If Trump was out there calling his new program "A thousand points of light" and saying "Read my lips, no new taxes" people would say he's echoing George HW Bush.

As is, he's evoking Hitler. That's how it goes.

zeustheman.bsky.social•449 days ago

The article is too soft on Trump and doesn’t go far enough to explain why Trump is so dangerous.

landmoose.bsky.social•449 days ago

Why is Politico SO bad?

bonenberger.bsky.social•449 days ago

*Biden slams Trump presiding over military-style parade of paramilitary and police supporters while nodding approvingly and returning their “hail victory” salutes* when will Biden stop making these facile comparisons between Trump and Hitler!!

biggtyme.bsky.social•449 days ago

When that “man” stops invoking Hitler.

zeustheman.bsky.social•449 days ago

They are not facile. Trump is echoing Hitler every day. From “lugenprese” to “vermin” to “blood” to his not so subtle other dog whistles Trump is repeating Hitler consistently. If Trump wins the election democracy in America is dead.

mlamb.bsky.social•449 days ago

This narrative puts the blame on Biden while absolving Trump of any responsibility for his Nazi rhetoric. The media fails us daily.

eltopo71.com•449 days ago

The campaign needs to do this because the failed corporate media is trying its darndest to cover-up the fact that Trump really is using straight-up nazi rhetoric in his public speeches. And it's not an exceptional thing either. It's happening constantly.

crs1.bsky.social•449 days ago

I sincerely hope Holly Otterbein never intends to get an abortion, and is comfortable with a glass ceiling because that's what she's working towards

bleek.bsky.social•449 days ago

And yet the Democrats could run someone more likely to beat Trump but… nah.

biggtyme.bsky.social•449 days ago

I don't think you are seeing the big picture here. If the Trumpers put up an insane candidate.........AGAIN.... the direct opposite is a grandpa. Biden. I don't want to go tooth and nail for the guy but the likely alternative is just F'n CRAZY

biggtyme.bsky.social•449 days ago

And don't com at me "BRO". I'm a retired military, hetrosexual, white male with a corporation and been married for over 30 YEARS. Step the F off. We are talking about low information voters deciding the future of our (MY) country.

bleek.bsky.social•449 days ago

I wish the DNC cared as much as you.

biggtyme.bsky.social•449 days ago

They don’t. But the choice is a binary decision at this point. Who you going to go with ?

bleek.bsky.social•449 days ago

Nobody in the Nazi GOP camp, for sure.
I’m kinda done pulling for the Dems who don’t care about anything but trying to win Republican voters each time while ridiculing their base. I didn’t think it could get worse but it does.

biggtyme.bsky.social•449 days ago

Oh you so right. Let’s not put up the exact opposite than a drugged up narcissist. Let’s not even kid ourselves, Trump is unhealthy AF and won’t make it 4 more years. Remember this post.

tim.macinta.com•448 days ago

So we get 1 more year of Trump and then 3 years of president MTG?

bleek.bsky.social•448 days ago

It’s genocide Joe or insurrection Don.

bleek.bsky.social•449 days ago

Oh, I know. But how do I warm up to Genocide Joe again?

biggtyme.bsky.social•449 days ago

Your silly little dark web nicknames are ridiculous.

duaadiddy.bsky.social•449 days ago

In the same way Trump is Hitler, Biden is Genocide Joe. Giving accurate nicknames to politicians is a time-honored tradition. Are you new?

biggtyme.bsky.social•449 days ago

I stalked your feed. You appear to not be an asshole.

bleek.bsky.social•449 days ago

Ok, thanks.

biggtyme.bsky.social•449 days ago

Thanks. Have a nice day. Seriously. I appreciate you taking the time to have a dialogue.

planetcarnival.bsky.social•449 days ago

Such as __________ ?🧐

armageddonspeaking.bsky.social•449 days ago

and someone not doing genocide in real life for real right now instead of positing hypothetical situations of trump doing genocide worse than the guy actual real life doing genocide right now who is in office right now doing genocide irl right now.

bungdan.bsky.social•449 days ago

Why should Trump be saddled with all of his Hitler talk just because the Biden campaign happened to notice it?

dannagal.bsky.social•449 days ago

Brendan, how long are we going to shake our fists at the sky hoping our media overlords will finally learn? I think we need to write up what life under authoritarianism will be FOR THEM. What’s at stake for THEM.

bunny.bismuth.gay•449 days ago

They think it'll be different this time. The leopards couldn't possibly eat their faces.

anniebkay.bsky.social•449 days ago

How can Biden be so out of touch to mention that he’s running against a fascist? He is so old.

maryj59.bsky.social•449 days ago

In the meantime, Biden emulates Hitler by supporting genocide. They are both absolutely awful.

thissteveguy.bsky.social•449 days ago

Trump is going out of his way to echo Hitler now because Biden is pushing him further right with how he's let the situation in Gaza unfold. Liberals naively believed that placating the right would bring about unity, but it has only delivered us into the grip of fascism.

mxhrad.bsky.social•449 days ago

Republican: *says fucking racist shit*

Democrat: “That was racist.”

Media: “Democrats take the unprecedented step of calling someone racist.”

wendy1.bsky.social•449 days ago

Because all of the dictators enjoy absolute power only for day, then they give it right back, we know that. 👀

corvidsandy.bsky.social•449 days ago

It's a harder sell now that Biden is backing another Hitler analog in his active genocide.
