The Trump Presidency 2.0 (Part 2)

In three years will be five months into the next presidency

Once again, I’m puzzled as to why you think this stuff works as a response to my post.

Trump was democratically elected, so (indirectly, via his appointment as leader by the majority Nazi Party) was Hitler. This is not in dispute.

Electorates in democracies will, on occaision, vote for obvious Fascist Fuckwits. In Trumps case, the electorate did it twice.

That this is true does not make it, or Trump, or Hitler, any the less deplorable.

The american electorate, on the other hand…

I was counting the US as a democracy, in that it has universal suffrage, the usual standard, however much money talks.

These cult members obviously did not read the Book of Revelations too closely and its heeding of the Anti-Christ.

There’s a big difference between a president who is aggressively using his limited powers creatively to get what he wants and a chancellor who burned down the whole system right after having gotten elected and arrested his political opponents.

But we forget our history quickly…many presidents have aggressively went for their policies including Obama.

This mismatch seems to fall of deaf ears to many

Nobody better will come up..

Rubio has a chance at uniting the middle because he has right leaning views, would be a Latino president which would rally the Latino vote AND would be the FIRST Latino president which would rally the moderate progressives…

Rubio is close enough and distant enough from the MAGA movement that he would bring them into the fold too.

he’s got a solid shot…

Yup- typical

What is wrong with US nowadays? We used to have great leaders fighting it out in the primaries for the honor to be the candidate for President… Now we have a tiny guy in too big shoes he fills with toilet paper so they don’t fall off :man_facepalming: :man_facepalming: Color blind, so be prepared when he suddenly vote for the Dems :rofl: :rofl:

So embarrassing… The world is laughing at US :man_facepalming:

Well, if I had to choose which one best describes Trump (with the removal of ā€œChancellorā€ which is a bit of a giveaway, ), I’d pick the second.

But my morale is too low for a good argument. 17 Reform candidates returned in Scotland, tied with Labour.

A Day that will Live in Infamy

A Day of Shame.

These are the bastards that brought us Brexwit, FFS!

:germany: Spoken by a German, in relation to Reform UK, but also applies to the current American regime.

I grew up in a country where every history lesson, every memorial, every awkward family dinner eventually circles back to the same uncomfortable question: how did ordinary, decent people let it happen? How did a respectable European democracy slide, in barely a decade, into something that ended with six million Jewish lives extinguished, millions of others murdered alongside them, and a continent in ruins?

The answers are never simple. But the rhetoric — the rhetoric was never subtle. And it is the rhetoric I want to talk about, because I have heard this song before. :triangular_flag:

A certain Austrian gentleman (you know the one) and his party told their country a very specific story. Listen now to what is coming out of Reform UK and Nigel Farage. Not the policies. Not the personalities. Just the language.

āø»

1. ā€œThe country is broken. The country has lost itself.ā€

Hitler, in his first radio address as Chancellor on 1 February 1933, told Germans they had been blinded by promises, had forgotten the highest values of their past, and — his exact words — that ā€œthe misery of our people is terribleā€. (Source: Facing History archive, Hitler’s first radio address) Facing History

Nigel Farage on Twitter, December 2022: ā€œBritain is broken.ā€ In Blackpool, June 2024, he expanded: nothing works any more, the country is in cultural decline, ā€œwe’ve begun to forget who we areā€. (Source: ITN/Reuters reporting of Farage’s Blackpool speech) Xonenewspage

Same key. Different decade.

2. ā€œWe are being invaded by foreigners.ā€

Hitler, addressing the Reichstag in January 1939, declared ā€œGermany to the Germansā€ and said the nation must prevent the settlement on its soil of a strange people. (Source: Yad Vashem, transcript of Hitler’s Reichstag speech, 30 January 1939) Yad Vashem

Reform UK, August 2025, Oxford Airport: Farage said Britain was undergoing ā€œan invasionā€ and described asylum seekers as a national security threat. April 2026, Reform’s own home affairs spokesman Zia Yusuf: a Reform government will ā€œreverse the invasion of Britainā€. (Source: World Socialist Web Site reporting Farage’s Oxford Airport speech; GB News on Reform’s deportation plan) World Socialist Web SiteGB News

Same key. Different decade.

3. ā€œThe establishment has betrayed you.ā€

Hitler, at his 1924 trial, called the surrender of 1918 ā€œa stab in the back of the German nationā€ — Germany, he said, had not really lost; the army had been betrayed by Jews, leftists and the Weimar elites. This single myth, repeated and repeated, did more than perhaps any other to bring him to power. (Source: Alpha History, transcript of Hitler’s 1924 trial speech) Alpha History

Farage, August 2025, on the grooming gangs scandal: ā€œThe establishment has failedā€. The drumbeat is constant: ordinary Britons have been sold out by Westminster, by the courts, by the police, by an entire metropolitan class. (Source: Wikipedia, ā€œPolitical positions of Nigel Farageā€) Wikipedia

Same key. Different decade.

4. ā€œThe country must awaken. We are taking it back.ā€

Hitler at the Berlin Sportspalast, addressing the SA and SS: ā€œGermany has now awakenedā€. The nation, he told them, was the master of its own destiny again. (Source: USHMM Holocaust Encyclopedia film archive) Holocaust Encyclopedia

Farage at the Reform conference, 2024 — his line which has since been painted across every Reform rally and bus: ā€œBritain is broken… Britain needs reformā€. Take our country back. (Source: The Spectator’s report on Farage’s Reform conference speech) spectator

Same key. Different decade.

I am not saying these men are the same. I am not saying Reform UK is the NSDAP. I am saying — and I cannot be quiet about this, because my country knows what comes next — the speeches are written in the same key.

And we know how that key ends.

:germany: Germans know it in our bones. We have spent eighty years apologising. Every schoolchild visits a camp. Every family, sooner or later, has the conversation. Every public building has a plaque. There is no statute of limitations on what our grandparents allowed, and there will not be one in eighty years’ time either.

So I have to ask, neighbour to neighbour:

Have we really learned nothing? :disappointed_face:

Do British voters truly want to spend the next eighty years apologising the way Germany has had to? Because that is the road. It always starts politely. It starts with ā€œjust asking questionsā€ and ā€œconcerns about immigrationā€ and a respectable suit and a friendly smile. It never announces itself with jackboots. By the time it does, it is too late.

It is much, much easier to say no to this rhetoric now — while it still wears the suit and the smile — than to spend a lifetime explaining it to your grandchildren. :germany::united_kingdom:

Off topic. Not about the Trump presidency

Pretty much as depressing though, common theme stylee

That’s your opinion :wink:

The dems are done. A better question to start asking yourself: will the democrats demand secession when they lose the midterms AND the 2028?

They did it once…and imma skip the laughing emojis because for us Americans we don’t find it funny

So Trump just brokered a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine.

Families are gonna see their kids again and there’s a prisoner exchange going on.

I am quite surprised at the lack of enthusiasm especially at our Europeans here.

Trump made it happen

When you say Trump just brokered a ceasefire, are you talking about the 3 day ceasefire that just ended and didn’t hold into day 2?

Here is what North Macedonia has to say:

so you don’t think two countries that have been at war for 4 years would not appreciate or benefit from 2 days of not fighting?

Russia AND Ukraine came together and said it was thanks to Trump that this happened.

I’ll say it again

Russia AND Ukraine said that Trump helped make this happen. They agreed on something!

You don’t think that the Ukrainian people appreciate two days without the destruction of their land and the killing of their people?

Must have been nice to have had that comfortable American suburbia upbringing…

I’m just asking you if when you were crowing that trump ā€œjust brokeredā€ a ceasefire, you were referring to the one that just ended and only lasted a day. Or if you were referring to something else. Cause bringing up that he just brokered a ceasefire when the ceasefire was already dead seems odd.

The Golden Calf would be a more appropriate parrallel.
