My bet is Trump Jr. on name recognition alone. Half of MAGA won’t even realize that he’s another guy. The democrats will still only win by a small margin, if that. (Disclaimer: Not a US-citizen, so totally just speculation from across the pond.)
Hitler was elected with only 35 percent of the popular vote. Within one year, he had established absolute rule.
Trump’s father was literally arrested at a Klan rally.
As a German, what is happening in the US right now is exactly what I was extensively learning in school about, and it’s absolutely horrifying. The Trump administration is following Hitler’s playbook almost verbatim.
People not as familiar with German history tend to forget that Hitler solidified his absolute rule for about one year from 1933 to 1934. He still could have been stopped in that timeframe. That’s where the US is right now with Trump, and time is running out.
L’etat, c’est moi.
People are able to change. Be the best version of yourself and someone will take notice.
Zuck is into Jui Jitsu, he can probably actually beat you up.
Why would Trump Jr. remove it? (/s, I hope)
What a missed chance to ask for a 40-some.
I just hope it collapses around him, taking his largest donors with him. That would be a nice bit of poetic justice.
“You want to know how to combat your depression? Sure, but what about a cold Pepsi first?”
Remember when Trump couldn’t stop talking about other people’s dicks? Yeah…
These billionaire fucks are completely delusional. They have to go.
Have you seen the Hitler youth?
I mean, Trump probably thought that was cool. He’s a fan of the Tiananmen massacre.
I can’t speak for Italy, but Nazi Germany would have collapsed anyway. The whole system was entirely dependent on lots of foreign lending that Hitler had no Intention on paying back. He had also pissed off pretty much all international trade partners.
Germans as a whole were a lot worse off than before Hitler gained power, working a lot more for a lot less, with shortages of everyday goods left and right.
Fascism is inherently self-destructive, so that won’t happen. But the collapse will cost a lot of human lives.
An immortal character from Doctor Who also covered this. She chronicles her life in a library of diaries but also destroyed some of them when the memories were too painful (her own children dying of old age).
I think the biggest problem with immortality is memory. How long until you have literally forgotten the person you have been before. Is that person then truly you, or have you died somewhere along the way?
Those innocent times when the internet wasn’t weaponized by fascists and enshittification wasn’t the norm yet. Digg might be a very early example though.
