Bush was just a bit dumb and fucked up the economy. Now Trump, he has many similar ideals and a very similar public.

I genuinely don’t think it’s possible that anyone who makes this comparison understands the gravity of it. I’m not a Trump supporter, but this is offensive. Let me know when a presidential nominee aims to annex entire countries and murder millions of people on the premise of race, religion, or appearance.

This is lazy and ignorant. Throwing it on Oppo makes it even worse.

*I’d say the same thing if I saw this gif with Hillary’s face, Bernie’s, Cruz’s, or Rubio’s.

Clinton is just as much to blame as Bush. The Gramm Leach Bliley Act gave banks way too much freedom and that is when they started to get too big to fail. Clinton is credited for being in office during an economic boom time, but it was mainly due to the dot com bubble that did eventually burst.

And you know who else is in favor of deregulation? Monica Lewinsky’s ex-boyfriend’s wife.

The man that wants to ban all muslims and also tag them, the same one that has support from racist groups and speaks to the masses in the disgusting way he does, deserves to, and will be compared to Hitler.

This is the way the international community seems him.

Agree with you on that, but I credit bush with the stupendous fiasco that was the iraq war and the housing bubble.

wafflesnfalafel > My citroen won't start
03/01/2016 at 22:30

Given his background he really isn’t a good match for Hitler, Franco or Mussolini. Honestly, he is more similar to some of the less than successful entrepreneurs that advocated for the American revolution because they didn’t want to pay British taxes. Not saying that is a good thing - but he is clearly a product of America. Kinda of a modern Samuel Adams but with more money and a little bigger ego.

RyanFrew > My citroen won't start
03/01/2016 at 22:32

He has called for ceasing to allow non-resident Muslims to enter the United States on a temporary (although the duration was not clarified) period.

Remember that time that FDR ordered internment for all Japanese residents after the bombing of Pearl Harbor? Equally reprehensible. And yet, no one calls him Hitler. Because doing so would be as insane and as divisive as Trump is.

RyanFrew > The Ghost of Oppo
03/01/2016 at 22:35

To say that Clinton or Bush are to blame for the ‘08 collapse is, frankly, giving both of them more credit than either deserves. It’s popular in the US to assign all blame and praise to the President, when usually it’s just not that simple. If we want to look at the housing collapse as an example, blame should be assigned to the American public, Congress, the Federal Reserve, big banks like Bank of America, the small lenders, greedy derivative traders, AIG....I could go on.....

My citroen won't start > RyanFrew
03/01/2016 at 22:37

He has also called for a national registry of all muslim citizens, and that they carry cards and unwarranted searches for mosques. He deserves the comparison.

Jeeze, dude, he’s a bad guy - I get it. Are you American? Have you done much travelling? I just don’t think that you can possibly understand the gravity of your assertion. Yes, there are parallels that can be drawn between Hitler and Trump. Hitler also created a massive welfare system. I suppose, then, that Bernie is a Nazi, too. Hitler created the autobahn. Dwight D. Eisenhower created the interstate highway system. Dwight D. Eisenhower? Nazi. Everyone is a Nazi.

A) Highways

B)Universal Welfare

C)Massive and organized racism

RyanFrew > My citroen won't start
03/01/2016 at 22:45

I feel like I’m on Gawker. What would you suggest that Bush should have done about the housing bubble? Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, AIG...they didn’t see it coming. But the History major dealing with everything else in this country should have called it. By the same token, I think it would be unfair to expect Clinton to see it either, even though he helped set it in motion with some legislation. Still, I’d say Clinton was the best Pres we’ve had in the last 20 years.

He also boasted about a perpetual surplus at the beginning of his presidency, only to slash taxes on the most wealthy because republicans thought “tricle down theory” was actually a viable plan instead of a sarcastic comment someone once made. I mean it likely worked out for super rich people just not everyone else.

RyanFrew > My citroen won't start
03/01/2016 at 22:52

D) Attacks outside of declared war zones, featuring killing without trial and the death of innocent civilians all around the world.

That one was Obama. But we of course know that Hitler did that too.

You missed the point of my previous post. The point is that it’s easy to draw lines between anyone and Hitler, based on whatever criteria you choose. To do so, however, requires suggesting that the person’s supporters are Nazis as well. Trump’s supporters, however uneducated they may be, are many. If we have millions of Nazis in this country, it’s probably time for a civil war. Is that what you think? Or we should at least murder Trump, right?

I’m not saying they are all Nazis, I’m comparing Trump’s rhetoric to Hitlers. How do you think he rose to power? They way they talk to the masses, the way the instigate fear and hatred (as if some kind of religion was the root of all their problems) is almost the same.

“Trump is like Hitler because of the way he talks to the masses”

Oh. So now EVERY politician is Hitler.

Look, Hitler wasn’t a bad guy because of his welfare system, the autobahn, his racism, his corruption, his meteoric rise via a vulnerable populace...what makes Hitler, Hitler is one thing:

The systematic murder of more than 10 million people, coupled with one of the bloodiest wars in human history.

To accuse someone of being “like” Hitler requires the belief that they, also, are in favor of violent world domination and widespread, systematic murder. Anything else is just divisive rhetoric at best, and fear mongering at worst. If you think that gif above is legitimate, you should want Trump killed. But I don’t think you do. I hope not, anyways.

That’s fair. It just seems unreasonable to me to even blame either one of them much at all. I don’t know how Clinton could have predicted the housing bubble, nor do I know how Bush could have seen it coming or attempted to stop it. They were just puppets.

Allowing people like trump to get into power is the way new hitlers are created. We must not transform hitler into some sort of monster, something not human, anyone is capable of doing that if given the chance, we must learn from history as not to let it happen again.

He genuinely does not mind quoting Mussolini, Hitler’s best buddy so its really not that far off.

I’ve just been having really weird vivd dreams lately but they’re mostly super lame like shit I was really looking forward to this bomb ass Chinese takeout I just ordered but since I’m stuck in traffic it will likely be cold by the time I get there.

The other night I had a half-in half-out instance where I thought those big ass golden orb spiders had built a giant web right around where my head is at so I freak the fuck out, leap the entire length of the bed landing on my feet in like a warrior (scared shitless) stance, still confused just staring at it like I might just sleep on the couch downstairs fuck all this.

RyanFrew > My citroen won't start
03/01/2016 at 23:16

You do have a good point about Hitler being human. It’s an important thing to remember and it’s crucial to study how he rose, ensuring that similar circumstances don’t arise again. A few good ways:

Maintain a strong economy, namely, a good employment rate

Maintain a strong domestic currency

Maintain checks and balances, such as a legislative and judicial branch, that prevent dictatorships

Maintain freedom of press and speech

I could go on. There is a long list of reasons why this country is not in danger of allowing a full-blown Hitler into office anytime in the forseeable future. If Trump gets the nomination, he’s going to get recked in the general. This country doesn’t run on hatred as a whole, even if a lot of her people do.

I’m generally against keeping everything PC and warm and fuzzy for everyone.

Always. It’s never not that way.

Did you even read your own link? It’s states defense was one of the major reasons. Do a little research outside of a government website. Look at the origins of the interstate system. Hint: there were plans long before Eisenhower was president.

Brian, The Life of > Sneaky Pete
03/02/2016 at 12:18

Yes. Did you?

The primary justifications for the Interstate System were civilian in nature. In the midst of the Cold War, the Department of Defense supported the Interstate System and Congress added the words “and Defense” to its official name in 1956 (“National System of Interstate and Defense Highways”). However, the program was so popular for its civilian benefits that the legislation would have passed even if defense had not been a factor.
