31. This is no coincidence

Thursday

Godwin's law does not apply here. Why? because Trump, and several people around him all along, are literal admirers of Nazism. Not the type that say, "Oh, well, he did do some good things." But the type that say, "I have studied their methods in detail and our entire movement follows the Nazi pplan to seize power."

Trumpism is very puprosely modeled after Nazism. You've got Trump speech writers admitting they studied Joseph Goebbels and use his teachings about propaganda while writing Trump's speeches. Nearly every aspect of Trumpism is purpoisely borrowed from Nazism.

Now I am not sure that genocide is their ultimate goal, but absolute Hitler like power surely is.
