Are Hitler-Trump Comparisons Fair? A Holocaust Survivor Tells His Son

March 6, 2016 : http://www.thewrap.com/trump-hitler-roundup-heres-whos-compared-donald-trump-to-hitler-this-weekend/ Trump-Hitler Roundup: Here’s Who Compared Donald Trump to Hitler This Weekend

Bill Maher, Louis C.K., “SNL,” and even a conservative commentator have all made the same Trump-Hitler comparison

 

[CaptainObvious]

Here is another gem.

That's a classic. Trump would have to come out in black face and start singing mammy to top that.

 

[Tony Stark]

The same polls that show Hillary winning in a landslide?
I guess we will see.

Yes Sir we will.Let us remember to revisit this thread on election night.

Thanks for proving my point. Douche.

Perhaps we'd need to think twice! Re-think very rigorously about it, again, again and again! We may never want to know its results on the night! That is, Never ever great again!!!

The 2016 presidential election isn’t over, so it’s still possible that Trump could end up in the White House. His poor judgment in people, glaringly apparent in recent weeks, is yet another reason why that is a dangerous possibility for American democracy.

You're always Right!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dietrich_Bonhoeffer

Dietrich Bonhoeffer (German: [ˈdiːtʁɪç ˈboːnhœfɐ]; 4 February 1906 – 9 April 1945) was a German Lutheran pastor, theologian, anti-Nazi dissident, and key founding member of the Confessing Church. His writings on Christianity's role in the secular world have become widely influential, and his book The Cost of Discipleship became a modern classic.[1]

Apart from his theological writings, Bonhoeffer was known for his staunch resistance to the Nazi dictatorship, including vocal opposition to Hitler's euthanasia program and genocidal persecution of the Jews.[2] He was arrested in April 1943 by the Gestapo and imprisoned at Tegel prison for one and a half years. Later he was transferred to a Nazi concentration camp. After being associated with the plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler, he was quickly tried, along with other accused plotters, including former members of the Abwehr (the German Military Intelligence Office), and then executed by hanging on 9 April 1945 as the Nazi regime was collapsing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cost_of_Discipleship

The notion of "cheap grace" has been used by Mike Lofgren to criticize the increasing dominance of the Christian right over the Republican Party coupled with what he saw as an increasing disregard within the party for other values: "But there is another, uniquely religious aspect that also comes into play: the predilection of fundamentalist denominations to believe in practice, even if not entirely in theory, in the doctrine of “cheap grace,” a derisive term coined by the theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer. By that he meant the inclination of some religious adherents to believe that once they had been “saved,” not only would all past sins be wiped away, but future ones, too—so one could pretty much behave as before. Cheap grace is a divine get-out-of-jail-free card. Hence, the tendency of the religious base of the Republican Party to cut some slack for the peccadilloes of candidates who claim to have been washed in the blood of the Lamb and reborn to a new and more Christian life. The religious right is willing to overlook a politician’s individual foibles, no matter how poor an example he or she may make, if they publicly identify with fundamentalist values."[1]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Lofgren


Mike Lofgren is an American who is a former Republican U.S. Congressional aide. He retired in May 2011 after 28 years as a Congressional staff member. His writings, critical of politics in the United States and in particular The Republican Party,[1] were published after his retirement and garnered widespread attention.

Personal life

Lofgren has a B.A. and M.A. in history from the University of Akron. He was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to study European history at the University of Bern and the University of Basel in Switzerland. He also completed the strategy and policy curriculum at the Naval War College.[2]

Political career

Lofgren began his legislative career as a military legislative assistant to then Republican House representative John Kasich in 1983. In 1994, he was a professional staff member of the Readiness Subcommittee of the House Armed Services Committee.

From 1995 to 2004, he was budget analyst for national security on the majority staff of the House Budget Committee. From 2005 until his retirement in 2011, Lofgren was the chief analyst for military spending on the Senate Budget Committee.

Since his retirement, Lofgren has written about politics, budgets, and national security issues. His work has appeared in the Los Angeles Times, Washington Monthly, Truthout, and CounterPunch.

Writings

In September 2011, Lofgren published an essay entitled Goodbye to All That: Reflections of a GOP Operative Who Left the Cult on the website Truthout. In it he explains why he retired when he did, writing that he was "appalled at the headlong rush of Republicans to embrace policies that are deeply damaging to this country’s future; and contemptuous of the feckless, craven incompetence of Democrats in their half-hearted attempts to stop them." He charged that both major American political parties are "rotten captives to corporate loot", but that while Democrats are merely weak and out of touch, the Republican Party is "becoming more like an apocalyptic cult". He particularly described Republicans as caring exclusively about their rich donors; being psychologically predisposed toward war; and pandering to the anti-intellectual, science-hostile, religious fundamentalist fringe. Lofgren wrote that the Tea Party is "filled with lunatics" and that lawmakers used the "routine" vote to raise the debt limit—which Congress has done 87 times since the end of World War II—to create "an entirely artificial fiscal crisis".[3] The essay received widespread media attention because of Lofgren's status as a long-term, respected Republican civil servant. Truthout reported the piece received "over a million views".[4][5][6][7][8]

Lofgren called the reaction to his essay "bewildering", saying he wrote it not to settle scores, but because he felt he had a uniquely privileged view of the machinery of government which Americans deserved to know about. He added that he'd had "a good career" and no personal problems on Capitol Hill.[9]

In 2012, Lofgren published the book The Party Is Over: How Republicans Went Crazy, Democrats Became Useless and the Middle Class Got Shafted, receiving a starred review from Booklist, which described the book as a "pungent, penetrating insider polemic".[10] The Washington Post called it "forceful, hard-hitting and seductive".[11] "I wrote the book", he said in a 2012 bookstore appearance, "because I am a concerned citizen."[12]

Since the publication of his book, Lofgren has appeared in various news media, discussing a number of issues regarding the Republican Party and current American politics.[13][14][15]

Lofgren's second book, The Deep State: The Fall of the Constitution and the Rise of a Shadow Government, was published on January 5, 2016.

I wonder if African-Americans are identifying Trump as a potential African-style president

 

[smallStops]

So as not to cause upsets, I have to precise that :
* African countries have had great leaders : Kwame Nkruhmah, Jomo Kenyatta, Patrice Lumumba, etc. All those were assassinated ( Cia-backed jobs) so as to replace them with dictators as above.
* Kaddafi is seen by many Africans, as a great African leader ( he provided free house, free uni education to his population) who got assassinated because he was kicking some multinational a$$.

That said: the video above is a JOKE.

Calling Trump names won't stop him becoming US President

Simon Heffer 4 September 2016

I suspect Mr Trump will marshal millions – possibly tens of millions – of Americans who would never normally vote in a presidential election. The turnout in 2012 was just 54.9 per cent

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/09/04/calling-trump-names-wont-stop-him-becoming-us-president/

America is in a terrible mess and I doubt that even Mr Trump, given two terms, could sort it out. He has worrying views on international security. If he follows a protectionist line he will reduce America’s economic power, deepening the poverty and inequality already prevalent there. And the last thing America seems to need are more volatile young men walking around with guns. But they see things very differently away from the salons of Manhattan and Washington, or the poolside parties of Bel Air: and just how differently we may be about to find out.

I have not watched the clip. As soon as I see it has Trevor Noah, an anti-Semite, I know it is not worth watching.
