Before going to Vietnam, I was sent to boat school at Mare Island, California for 3 months, where we were taught the boats and the weapons mounted on them. During that time we were sent to CI-SERE (Counter Insurgency – Survival, Resistance, Evasion and Escape). Since early in Trump’s time in office I’ve had several “dreams” about SERE, including the field problem. I have also had thoughts and remembrances of the Counter Insurgency part of the raining. They do seem appropriate when applied to the republicans.
If Trump learned his lesson, he wouldn’t be Trump!To tell the truth, I feel a perverse admiration for people who don’t learn from their mistakes. (It’s an oddly American quality…)
Unlike Hitler Trump has good buddies Putin a Xi as examples and very possibly backers for his ambitions. He certainly has a way with the weak minded and uneducated. Many seem drawn to the “strong man” image that they see him as. Because of this he holds power through intimidation. You have seen the republican senators and congress quivering at his every directive have you not. Just send out the sort of people that stormed the capital to stop any politician that gets out of line. Send in an even further right wing politician against any one of them that gets out of line or at least threaten to. He has his base and he can direct them.
He has learned no lesson other than to cheat more and to cheat more effectively. They are already trying to suppress the vote for 2022 and again in 2024. If you can’t win with a fair election then rig the election even better the next time. And lie biggly and lie more often. Make up the most outrageous lies about your opponents that you can and repeat as often as you can. It is much easier to lie and keep it up than to tell the truth and nothing but the truth. He has much more practice with the lie than the truth.
Actually you could argue that getting convicted didn’t do any good in that case. But Trudeau didn’t mention the biggest supporters of the latest big lie. Cruz and Hawley come to mind. Maybe sending them to prison for sedition would help? Some people are asking, you know.
he is the child of Adolph Hitler, Roy Cohn & Norman Vincent Peale. no doubt has access to the Epstein kompromat, keeps his base “up” with breast-implanted trophy eye-candy, brought back the firing squad, indoctrinated his audience for 13 years pretending to be competent, is a dry-drunk drug addict narcissistic psychopath. move along, nothing to see here. only the long shadow of despair in the DNA of generations crippled by the trauma of slavery, of the Holocaust, as the symbols of white nationalism rise & the swastika sprouts new feral flowers. Springtime for Hitler indeed.
I have always said that Trump is not the problem. He is merely a symptom of a much larger problem, namely his spineless enablers and the voters that elect them. While the majority of voters would prefer bipartisan leaders, a bipartisan candidate cannot win a primary, because enough of the voters who turn out for primaries tend to be extremely partisan. So we often have to choose between two extremists in the general election. And even if they are not extremists, each will try to convince voters of the other’s extremism and resulting danger to life as we know it. In the end Trump and Hitler both recognized, tapped into, and stoked deep seated racial extremism in the electorate. Anyone who thinks racism was conquered by the Civil Rights movement is sadly mistaken. It kept a low profile for decades, only to re-emerge when Obama was elected.
There is a direct line from trump to the Insurrectionists to the Pentagon’s delayed response, you need to expose it. Congress was suppose to fall that day, so trump could stay in power.
Guaranteed there is Fifth Column still in the Pentagon and many other places in the Government. This is not over, and trump is not done yet.
I have a New York Times subscription, and using its TimesMachine feature, I looked at the December 21, 1924, issue. It was a Sunday paper, 168 pages long, so to save time, if you have access to the Times archives, it’s on page 16.
I think people would do better to take a hard look, and some action, against the people who financially support Trump. Probably those who gain financial advantage from his actions. Follow the money.
Boycott any book that would put money in his empire. It will be written by some hack. He is not capable of reading or writing. Has never written anything in his life.
Psychopaths never learn, they always just double down. To “learn” is to admit mistake, and they are incapable of that because it would mean they’re less than the flawless creatures they think they are.
Prescience appears not to be an inherent ability for GOP political enablers. Nor does learning from history. Applause for the research and holding accountable the gutless politicians who think more of their reelection than the country’s civic health.
You are such a wimp. To call Trump an authoritarian and to compare him to history shows your appalling lack of perspective. The current thugs running things are the authoritarians. Draining the swamp should probably start behind your eyes.
Hitler was only 35 years old at the time. Lucky for us, Trump is almost 75 now, obese, addicted to poisonous foods, and (although clearly possessed of a certain ruthless cunning) quite stupid enough to make a fatal mistake at any time. Let us pray.
The biggest differences are that Trump doesn’t have Hitler’s brains or ambition. Trump is just a dumb con man who won without really expecting to. Once he had power, he didn’t really know what to do with it beyond settling petty personal grudges and enriching himself and his buddies. He did a lot of damage but could have done a lot more.
Plus, Trump is elderly and in poor health, unlike Hitler who was still young and healthy when he left prison. Trump most likely won’t be around in 2024, and if he is he won’t be in any shape to run for office. And his kids don’t have his talent or charisma.
We certainly need to be vigilant. Democrats have to continue to work hard to win in 2022. But I don’t think Trump himself is going to be around long enough to follow Hitler’s path.
Everybody knows if you give a raging wolverine a very light tap on the wrist (or whatever wolverines have), it will stop being a wolverine and turn permanently into an adorable bunny rabbit. Right? Right?
It should be noted that T Rump has never even pretended to be “sadder and wiser”. So, he’s easily out-Nixoned Nixon, out-Hitlered Hitler, and I’m pretty sure we can see where he’ll stack up against Satan.
Senator Collins said that last year. During Trump’s second impeachment, his critics feared if he were acquitted by the Senate, he would turn the impeachment into a badge of honor, as he did the first.
Reading that newspaper article from 1924 was chilling. It sounded like they all thought they had seen the last of Hitler but he came back to take over the country 10 years later. Thankfully. Trump is much older and not likely to be around in 10 years but his spawn are still lurking. Like Hitler, Trump is more than a person. He’s a terrible movement that needs to be stopped.
Trump keeps repeating the same rhetoric and actions over and over – the only thing he learns is to do it harder next time… and in his mind he never fails…
Trump is no Hitler. He is old with significant health issues, and he lacks Hitler’s charisma, cunning, fanaticism, and energy. However, there are people with these resources who were watching what Trump was able to do with one of the two decayed American political parties and have taken notes, and I think we’ll be hearing from them in the next ten or twenty years as the country continues to decline. Upper Volta with ICBMs, or whatever it was they used to say about Russia. If I were a young adult and wanted to have some kind of life, I think I’d move to another country or at least to one of the more remote parts of this one.
This Trudeau guy is a total reprobate for thinking it is ok to name and make comparisons to Hitler when 75 milllion voters were disenfranchised by the actions outlined in the Time Magazine expose’. In fact Biden was run out of the 1988 presidential consideration due to his plagiarism and the fact that the DNC did not want to waste any more time and money covering up for him. It took an entire generation of subversion to rid his memory and garner votes based on fallacy. I find it appalling that so many of the DNC disciples did not do even the most cursory of youtube searches to find that out. This cartoon is not worth the paper it is printed on except that it could serve as Trudeau’s resignation soon.
To those upset about comparing Trump to Hitler, remember Trump hits all 14 points of identifying fascism and that the GOP has a lot in common with Nazi Germany (anti-LGBTQ, anti-union, anti-abortion, anti-immigrants, sexism, racism, nationalistic, Christian, etc).
Get a conviction for taxes, rape, whatever it takes, but make it impossible for him to run again. Because if there’s any opening he will string it out for at least three years, milking the rubes for as much as he can.
Then hang his bloated corpse around the necks of Cruz, Hawley and the usual suspects.
As a matter of objective reality, the 2020 election was free, fair, honest, and legitimate. The only people who don’t know this are imbeciles and lunatics. So when Trump spurred the mob of traitors to attempt to over-throw our democracy he proved himself to be the HEAD traitor. And when the smaller mob of traitors (43 Republican Senators) voted to acquit Traitor Trump instead of to convict Traitor Trump, they proved themselves to be the worst type of cowards. It’s enough to make a cannibal vomit!
As Josef Göbbels knew, if you control the language, you control the conversation. It’s the same deal with right-wing phraseology: It’s a language all its own. So, in an effort to promote better communication in American politics, here’s a start on a handy right-winger-to-normal-English dictionary:
fake news = honest reporting
enemy of the people = free press
alternative facts = lies
tort reform = corporate protection bill
tax relief = billionaire enhancement program
right to work = kill unions
healthy forests initiative = chop down more trees
clear skies act = no more birds
patriot act = civil liberties farewell tour
patriot = vigilante
dangerous criminal element = young Black men
cost-effective corrections = for-profit prisons
enhanced interrogation techniques = torture
judicial activists = judges who’ve read the Constitution
secure elections = voter suppression
election integrity = preventing Blacks, Latinos, poor people, and students from voting
chain migration = family reunification
invaders = asylum seekers
rapists and murderers = Mexicans
security threats = Canadians
decisive leaders = authoritarian dictators
support our troops = socialism for military contractors
good people = racists and fascists
abstinence education = sexual ignorance
no child left behind = standardized testing for all
Satanic mind-rotting plot = evolution
just some egghead’s opinion = science
religious liberty = Christian fundamentalism for all
As another matter of objective reality, Biden is far more intelligent than Trump, with FAR fewer mental illnesses—in his case zero. Let’s list a few of Trump’s mental lillnesses, shall we? He’s a malignant narcissist who is incapable of caring about anyone or anything except for himself. He’s a congenital, pathological, and compulsive liar. He has a messiah complex, though he is far closer to Judas than to Jesus. He is delusional. He is a sociopath. And, in his spare time, Traitor Trump is bleedin’ insane!
Timothy Leary said “Think for yourself and question authority”. The new “liberal” thought pattern is to think what you are told to and follow authority. I wonder if our cartoonist friend of many years will ever dare to question the authoritarian progressives. Mr. Trudeau, I double-dog dare you to create a strip about the cancel culture. I’m not holding my breath.
