I came to say this.

Hitler went to jail for a failed coup attempt less than a decade before coming to power.

Everything about this guy is Hitler.

Damn I am fucking ignorant as fuck on WWII I had no idea. I really don’t remember them teaching it in school to even this extent.

And this is why they attack our schools and libraries and books. They want the voting public ignorant as possible so we are blind and easily manipulated. Those in power now (aka with wealth) won’t have their kids and grandkids impacted, and that’s about as far away from themselves they can care about.

I thought this was fairly common knowledge. You’ve heard of Mein Kampf, right? It was written when Hitler was in jail.

Nobody can guess why Trump loves the poorly educated…

Except he’s twenty years older than old Adolf was when he took the cyanide.

Very good point. Hitler also didn’t fake bone spurs to get out of military service.

Has he even really fought punishment over the gag order? They are just letting it go basically as far as I knew.

“They” wouldn’t be letting anything go unless he won a fight.

But that also depends on how you define “fight”, and those who oppose Trump have really struggled with that in trying to defeat him.

Look: fascism is soooo effective in undermining functional democracy because it, like, breaks democracy. Like, if democracy were a rules and bureaucracy machine that did good government (ideally), fascism works by identifying and exploiting its weak points in a systematic fashion. Mass media, systemic bureaucratics, advanced administration, logistics— all of this is ripe for disruption and takeover. And, unlike democracy, which functions on strict rules and ethics and is, thusly, slow to respond to attacks, fasism (esp neo- and ur-fascism) attacks from the outside at weak points rapidly with great agility, following few rules that encumber it.

It’s really explained better in this video:

He has appealed multiple gags. I define that as fighting.

No he hasn’t, he just whines like a toddler on his social media site. Not to mention the “punishment” has been something dumb like a $5k fine.

You’re wrong, he has appealed gag orders on many occasions.

Yes, he has appealed his gag order in multiple cases on multiple occasions, because as you know he has 91 criminal charges pending and also several civil cases.

Can Trump be a martyr too? Like any time soon?

MLK’s words resonate because they meant something. Trump’s popularity will drop as soon as he isn’t around to stir the pot with his random word salad said in a way that gets people emotional.

He eats nothing but mcdonalds and well done steak. His diet is likely to make him a martyr sooner than we all think.

A month ago, but apparently it was a gubernatorial endorsement, not himself:

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/trump-compares-north-carolina-lt-gov-mark-robinson-martin-luther-king-rcna141523

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Former President Donald Trump likened North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson to Martin Luther King Jr. in an endorsement Saturday, despite the gubernatorial candidate’s long history of controversial comments about homosexuality, religion and victims of sexual abuse.

“This is Martin Luther King on steroids,” Trump said of Robinson at a pre-Super Tuesday rally in North Carolina.

“I told that to Mark. I said, I think you’re better than Martin Luther King. I think you are Martin Luther King times two,” he continued as he offered Robinson his endorsement in the Republican gubernatorial primary on Tuesday.
