That's literally the point. They are trying to goad the Left into screaming Hitler. When we do so, we generally sound hysterical to the centre and independents whom we need.

Donald wins when we're sputtering with rage.

If you've ever been a dick to a younger sibling so they freak out and get in trouble despite technically being in the right, you'll recognise the tactic.

The American "centre" seems brain-dead to me as a foreigner (well the left is already not very left) because how the fuck can they consider calling these people fascists hysterical, when they clearly are fascists?

They have so many nukes, and we're their vassals (Australia).

Gods help us all.

Their argument would go something like "you screamed this in 2016, but there were still midterms and a presidential election which removed trump from power, fairly unfascist. There will still be midterms and a presidential election this cycle too."

Personally, I think it's too close for comfort but at the same, fair points.

American voters still cant be arsed to turn out for the primaries and midterms.

Just america being america.

[–] MyBrainHurts@piefed.ca 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The primaries issue is the biggest tragedy to me. But, it also makes me chuckle when folks say the Dems answer is to just run a really progressive candidate and then masses of people will come vote for them. The same masses who somehow can never be bothered to make it to the primaries...

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Yup. And they say anything else is tantamount to supporting/ encouraging gebocide.

You should just pretend nothing is happening and hope they go away then.

The funny thing is, im working with a German national rn, and his take on the whole thing us 'oh, so this is how it happened...'.

[–] pigup@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

That looks very flammable

What's the german banner say?

"Dem Führer die Treue" roughly means "Loyalty to the Führer"

Nothing about this party is subtle, they've been openly emulating hitler and the nazis both terms, more openly than ever this new one, and any resistance has since evaporated as now everyone knows democrats won't enforce the law against them, call them out on stuff, put forth a popular alternative.

But because you all still collectively trust the democrats to run the opposition, we are doomed to these nazi emulating plutocratic clowns running the show. As we speak, on this thread, passing the buck for forcing doomed to fail candidates, blaming voters for not voting for the candidates we knew they wouldn't vote for but forced on them anyway.

But next time I'm sure it will work!

I hate this timeline.

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Was Hitler also this stupid?

[–] noname_no_worries@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

A bit less stupid, I think, but equally crazy.

Yes. Everyone gets it. They're fascists. Where are the posts helping us figure out what to effectively do about it? We're very much in the "we have to actually do things" phase. Commenting from the sidelines isn't helping anything.

We should be dragging politicians out onto the streets and stringing them up by their heels at this point, every last one of them.

See the other reply for tips ‘n tricks.

Also, when your favorite NüTankies bitch about the Democratic candidate explain to them that they’re goddamned morons.
