Read the whole and thing and, wow. It's just unbelievable to me that people can support this man so fervently.
I guess it's what happens when you give people permission to be completely selfish and devoid of empathy. He's a fucking psychopath.
It’s what happens when you get your news in parts of the country where Fox and Sinclair own the airwaves. They make immigrants and democrats seem terrifying.
add in some social media for the younger people and bam, recipe for fascism.
Not psychopathy. But narcissistic personality disorder. If you know anyone who has lived with one, they can tell you it’s on the verge of psychopathy.
It’s crazy behavior and crazy talk because it’s mental illness, probably somewhere around 60 years untreated mental illness. And hallmarks of NPD are maintaining a personal alternative reality, mentally tearing apart anyone disagreeing with that alternative reality, and no empathy.
I’m sick to death of no one talking about it and calling it what it is. We can talk about Biden’s dementia but not this?
Its just standard brainwashing. It’s not even complicated. It’s all right out in the open.
Is he aware that Germany lost?
I expect he is a slow reader. He may not have gotten to that part of the book yet.
He said his favorite book is Mein.
Maybe he has good associations with that word because when he said lo mein at a Chinese restaurant a plate of greasy noodles arrived
Reminds me of the theory explaining why he say other countries are emptying their "insane asylums".
He was told immigrants are seeking asylum, has zero clue what that means, and determined that it meant countries are emptying mental hospitals and sending their patients to the US.
Pretty sure he would consider murdering millions of Mexicans as a win, even if it ends with a bullet to his temple.
Ya know I realise this is complete conspiracy theory.
However, I'm still willing to give a 2-5% chance that if Trump gets back into power, within the last 12-18 months of his presidency he'll declare a special operation into North Mexico to 'secure the border', 'stop the illegal immigrants' and 'remove the drug cartels'.
Then he'll claim it's too dangerous to hold the election, or not appropriate, or whatever excuse because of the special operation. And then he'll postpone the election with the approval of the SC as a presidential duty and therefore not illegal.
And I know this is insane but every time I ask myself "would trump attempt something like this?" The answer is always "yes"
If someone tells you they're a Nazi, believe them and treat them accordingly.
Hitler ended up firing most of his generals. Then he shot himself.
Hitler's best generals tried to kill him.
Unfortunately this did not happen very quickly. The years leading up to it were pretty awful.
I read this entire article, and it made me sad. Because the guy's probably going to win. The people who need to read this article simply won't, and they will continue to believe what he tells them.
The people who need to read the article would, and then complain that it's all lies to denigrate Trump. It's a sick joke that I have family members who, "respect the military and those who serve", but continue to tout Trump as a Messianic figure to save America. The brainwashing/rot is real.
They're going to agree.
Let's help make sure he doesn't win. Make sure that dems turn out to vote!
Goddamn. And he's potentially president a second time.
Trump has already caused significant damage. If he wins, we can expect things to get really bad.
But even if he loses, look at what he's done. He truly believes personal gain is the only thing someone should ever value. There is no justice for someone like that, other than taking it all away. Forcing him to realize that humanity has only survived because we can work together for collective gain.
Can't wait to hear how this gets sane washed.
"He meant to say genitals!"
what's his obsession with ballsacks about? wasn't he just talking about Arnold Palmers junk, now this? kinda sus...
There was no evidence of election irregeluarities in 2020, and Trump's "deny everything, and always claim victory" has included admissions by him that there was no evidence, but the philosophy was more important. Generals supporting sending an army to assist insurection, or other unconstitutional acts such as rounding up all Haitians in a city, because a neighbour reported their cat missing, with suspicion of one neighbour (cat came back next day).
This is as serious of a concern as his promise to provide absolute immunity to all police abuse. Israel's token concession to ICJ to prosecute rape torture of prisoners, would turn out the same in USA, if Trump supremacists destroy everything with immunity, and those not happy about Trump fascism get fascisted.
There was plenty of evidence of election irregularities. People have gone to jail for stuffing extra votes for Trump.
Don't you think he looks tired?
No problem dude, we'll put a few of them on your upcoming juries.
Wow, tankies may actually drop the mask and openly support their orange hero
As long as they are like von Stauffenberg I would be okay with it.
Personally none of the things this article says surprise me. But unfortunately, the author doesn't seem to provide any sources for Trumps statements, only the denials of those statements. Idk if people are just scared and want to remain anonymous or what but it loses integrity when people refuse to identify themselves or rather when A reporters article doesn't have sources like this.
This is what the GOP wants for our future.
But he's NOT a Nazi!
You don't deserve the kind of generals Hitler had. That's why you have JD Vance and Elon Musk.
