I've been saying same thing for months. That's the main thing missing with 1933 Germany. They were in a Depression already for years. He promised to end it. He gaslighted them and won.
Fox News convinced millions that we were in a Biden Depression. Then T won.
Now he needs a Depression to be King.
Also Germany had lost WW1 and paid a huge price economically. Germans wanted revenge and someone to blame. They were primed for a dictator who promised to fix everything. That was Hitler.
He will continue to destroy our economy, and blame the Democrats for each financial bombshell. We hear it already in statements like "we can't afford the spending the Democrats put in place" and "we can't continue to pay the deficits caused by the Democrats."
Our economy was booming in November 2024 when he was elected by religious bigots and the majority who couldn’t be bothered to vote. Hence the rapid destruction of it once he was elected was to make sure that we all are too stunned or scared to fight back?another similar analogy is nationwide bigotry
Even though the Biden economy was good, they were able to use lies and propaganda to convince all the Republicans that it was bad.
Brainwashing really works good.
True but we know it’s Trump economics. The MAGA cult which really is a small zealot loud minority are the only ones being fooled. The lesson is your vote counts. In order for Democracy to continue the majority has to vote. That did not happen in the 2024 election 🗳️
But he already did that. He told people the economy was bad (it wasn’t) and his followers believed every word. That’s why is was the number one issue for so many people. They were force fed lies by Fox that the economy was in shambles and he alone could fix it.
When they have sufficiently reduced us to poverty levels, drumpf will revive his "I alone can save you" lie as an excuse to proclaim martial law. Suspension of elections will follow.
But it was the opposite: Weekly earnings in Germany increased by 19% in real terms from 1933 to 1939. He did things to improve their economy. *I despise him* as he was the most brutal person who ever lived. But the idea that he purposely crashed the German economy is not correct.
He didn't say Hitler crashed the economy...he said Hitler used the failing economy in 1933 to take power and that Trump is tanking our economy to set up similar circumstances for himself so he can secure power.
But it’s the reverse. Our economy was strong last year (and in 2016). DT came in and tanked it. He is more likely to be politically punished for tanking it than AH was for improving it.
To a point. People thought Dems would be better on the economy until inflation (even though our inflation was mild). Folks have a way of blaming whoever is in charge when the economy sucks. This happens every single time, no matter the spin. Look at W after the crash. Fox News was around, Rush, etc
I mean, some Democrats helped Republicans pass a TERRIBLE budget because they were afraid Trump would blame Democrats for their shutdown & voters would BELIEVE HIM.
Bob Kennedy convinced some parents to OD their kids with cod liver oil!
I have no doubt Trump can blame Dems for an economic downturn
Absolutely true! It’s not by accident these things in our government are moving the way they are. I’m just thankful protests have been peaceful. No reason to offer cause for Martial Law.
But the one thing Hitler did was use a failing economy. He didn’t cause one and we know who’s causing this. It’s gonna come out different than he expects.
I would like to say this is incorrect but I can’t really refute this statement. He was handed a great economy on a silver platter and has taken every action to destroy it….its either intentional destruction or incredible stupidity….
The six part series “Hitler and the Nazis - Evil on Trial” based on the life and written work of correspondent William Shirer explain this in detail. The parallels are quite disturbing.
Putin has what power today? Not economic, not even war power. They extended a 3 day war to 3 years and counting. He’s 73 years old and lives in a bunker. He has an arrest warrant. So what?
But he's going out of order. He's already trying to split up an Eastern European country between him and Russia. That comes after assuming absolute dictatorial control
Also the OG Maga Nazi crew put a lot of effort into not looking sloppy. Their rallies were well done they put a lot of thought into their uniforms and other merchandise. The current Maga Nazis are just slobs by comparison
I think that destroying businesses is all he knows and that he’s gone up a scale to include countries.
Also he thinks like a rapist because he is one.He rapes everything then demands HE is paid.
Polls are saying that Trump voters--and I include the more than half that are NOT the hardcore MAGA psychopaths--DON'T APPROVE of Trump's handling of all he is damaging, but they approve of Trump himself
in NJ trump somehow got a big increase in the Hispanic, Asian, Indian vote. They are rattled and definitely pissed he didn’t lower grocery prices, and is terrorizing them with deportations.
I realize that even these minority populations who can legally vote can be made to fear deportation, and so educational outreach must include "if you can vote, you can't be deported"
And the educational outreach must be done again and more forcefully to remind them that everything we...
Good old fashioned greed. Once many of these trumpy immigrants got citizenship, they voted to slam the door on their fellow countrymen. Now they too are getting screwed. We must do better at explaining. How? Probably not aiming for sympathy for undocumented, but by appealing to folks’ self interest.
If later on in any conversation you have with these people, and if they are not without at least one iota of scruple and decency, bring up in the 3rd person the hypocrisy and utter lack of ethics of those forcefully closing the door behind them
...said BEFORE November about Trump being awful, the American Putin, the American Hitler, is coming true AFTER November, right now. Ask them about their egg and gas prices
To me, they seem to be inclined to blame others for his "handling" of things. Right now, Musk is an obvious scapegoat. I think eventually they will start blaming Trump himself. It's early yet.
I agree 100%, but Trump has quite the hold on some people. My late MIL got taken by a gift card scam. She expressed shame for having been fooled. The next year, she fell for the exact same scam. Because she wanted to believe it was legit, which is how many people want to see Trump, unfortunately.
I'm not at all even close to an amateur expert in psychology so can't propose to help in the brainstorming of solutions to this (my daughter is, but we haven't brought up the topic of Trump in terms of a deep analysis 😁)
I would like to see a well-considered/debated consensus...
...checklist of actions we can take in order to take down the megalomaniacal sociopath Trump before he makes his (enlarging?) circle of MAGA psychopaths even bigger.
What can be done to intercede/intervene with those walking into his possibly inescapable web? We get the idea..
There’s not a single day that goes by, seemingly, without a court order reversing something blatantly illegal the White House has done,” said Murphy, the Democratic senator from Connecticut. “This is a constitutional crisis, and there’s no parallel in history.”
I'm pretty sure we'll be okay! We are in a different position than Nazi Germany. First of all with Canada to our North and Mexico to our South I don't know if I'd try to take ANY country by force. He's delusional!!
Trump is, and has always been, a wannabe dictator.
He looks up to Putin and Kim Jong-un and other dictators around the world.
He doesn’t believe in or follow the Constitution.
He is anti-American.
Those that paid for his presidency (Elon) and support him are also anti-American.
Yes, but Trump‘s such an idiot he doesn’t understand history. Hitler didn’t create a failing economy to take power, he leveraged a pre-existing one. Trump is in power and succeeded to a thriving economy. His destruction of the economy will cause him to lose power.
Hitler, at 40, was a pisspoor loser, though. It's wild that a billionaire, who's about to die soonish, thinks the best way to spend his last years is to destroy USA.
My parents and their families lived in Germany and Hungary during the time of Hitler. I heard the stories of how he came into power and the things he and his supporters did that history books don't really cover. What I see now are those stories repeating themselves in real life...
Trump has power. He's destroying ours to make a campaign promise to help the .01%. The more our economy plummets, the .01% will start buying up everything for cheap, and when the economy comes back, they are even wealthier
34's "golden age" (1987-1913) was the age of the robber barrons and saw 5 depressions and 15 recessions. It ended in 1913 when the Fed was established to break the vicious boom and bust cycle.
It's easier for oligarchs to buy up stocks and real estate during a recession. Why are rents high and going to get higher? Because if middle class can't afford to buy homes what choice do they have?
Get rid of the migrant and immigrant labourers. Fire the government employees. Crash the economy, bankrupt the farms, oligarchs already heads of ag, small business etc, now force unemployed Americans into fields, manufacturers, and now the government completely owns you. Where have we seen that?

There's a difference.
They are already busy lying. "Tariffs are actually tax cuts"
I agree, it will likely blow up in his face (and Elon's and every Republican)...but only if we frame the narrative.
Trump has the bully pulpit & MAGA believes him.
Bob Kennedy convinced some parents to OD their kids with cod liver oil!
I have no doubt Trump can blame Dems for an economic downturn
Pay more attention to AOC and Bernie or Trump will be the beginning of your problems, not the end.

Ours was not, Republicans just said it was and Democrats just let them have it, despite all statistical evidence saying that it was strong.
You can't help those beyond help

The messaging of all American Patriots must be to hammer Trump is the source & origin & cause of all this anarchy & chaos
This messaging must be INCESSANT and even EAR-SPLITTING

The population was destitute for the better part of a decade.
This left them incredibly fertile ground for a voice of nationalism.
Political opportunists willing to sow discord are drawn to such fields.
He looks up to Putin and Kim Jong-un and other dictators around the world.
He doesn’t believe in or follow the Constitution.
He is anti-American.
