    And yet, you’re still doing it.

    As they say: historians have a word for Germans who supported the Nazis because they liked their economic policies, or were afraid of Communists, or they wanted power, or they wanted the business, or any of a hundred other reasons. That word is Nazi. Historians don’t care what their reasons are.

      were afraid of Communists

      It works really great when you draw a circle around everyone not in your tiny camp of Tacolovers/white supremacists and declare them to be “Communists” as so many of the conservatives do.

      I’m sure they did much the same in Hitler’s Germany, too. Everyone that didn’t adore him were probably called socialists, trade unionists, and Communists.

      “I voted for Mr. Hitler because he’d be good for the economy. I didn’t go in for all that Jew-killing stuff. You can’t blame that on me.” --German Citizen, 1946

        Hitler wasn’t elected, unlike Trump. People voted for the Nazi party, and Hitler was appointed.

        Americunts literally voted to elect a convicted felon, rapist, pedophile for a president. So, yeah…

          It was a facetious comment, meant to make a point. It wasn’t meant to be an accurate slice of history, but you know that. This thread is full of lots of insufferable “Actually…” types.

          And Trump didn’t win, it was rigged, and we ALL know it, even MAGAs.
