Donald Trump is on the brink of becoming a dictator. Can he be stopped?

[furrowtickler]

About the only thing missing from this childish rant is another reference to Hitler as you have been doing lately.

Keep up the good work, it is doing wonders for your credibility. You are definitely a contender for the toughest kid on the playground.

Not the toughest , the biggest loudmouth coward probably… lol

More crap nothing posts from Furrow and Absurd 5?

Absurd 5, one of Trump's White House Chiefs of Staff retired General John Kelly? called him a fascist. Trump also praised Hitler on several occasions. But of course you lean far right towards fascism so I don't expect you to criticize Trump authoritarian moves towards dictatorship.

The far right fringe like you and your agrisilly buddies must think authoritarian right wing dictators are okay?

What John Kelly said about Trump’s praise of Hitler and fascist tendencies
"Retired four-star General John Kelly, who was one of Donald Trump’s White House chiefs of staff, told the New York Times Trump would rule like a fascist if reelected. Kelly also spoke to The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg for a new piece which quotes Donald Trump as once having said "I need the kind of generals that Hitler had." Geoff Bennett discussed more with Goldberg."


Trump’s former chief of staff says he fits ‘fascist’ definition and prefers ‘dictator approach’
John Kelly, the retired Marine general who was Donald Trump’s White House chief of staff, entered the 2024 fray in stunning fashion in a series of interviews published Tuesday, saying the former president fits “into the general definition of fascist” and that he spoke of the loyalty of Hitler’s Nazi generals.

Kelly’s comments, two weeks from Election Day, are the latest in a line of warnings from former Trump White House aides about how he views the presidency and would exercise power if returned to office.

In addition to the fascist comments, Kelly — who was Trump’s chief of staff from 2017 to 2019 — told The New York Times ([url]https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/22/us/politics/john-kelly-trump-fitness-character.html[/url]) that the former president “certainly prefers the dictator approach to government.”

He also confirmed to The Atlantic ([url]https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2024/10/trump-military-generals-hitler/680327/[/url]) that Trump had said he wished his military personnel showed him the same deference Adolf Hitler’s Nazi generals showed the German dictator during World War II, and recounted the moment.

“‘Do you mean Bismarck’s generals?’” Kelly told The Atlantic he’d asked Trump. He added, “I mean, I knew he didn’t know who Bismarck was, or about the Franco-Prussian War. I said, ‘Do you mean the kaiser’s generals? Surely you can’t mean Hitler’s generals?’ And he said, ‘Yeah, yeah, Hitler’s generals.’ I explained to him that Rommel had to commit suicide after taking part in a plot against Hitler.”

One thing Hitler was famous for was his Reich Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda.

Do you think Hitler was hands on and closely directed all the things that came out of that department?
Or did he just hire like minded people to run it who hired like minded minions to make it all happen?
Hard to comprehend how the whole country was initially turned into mindless zealot believers?

Certainly no government would ever attempt to do anything like that now?

They would not hang banners with fearless leaders picture on it on public buildings ? The minions are already in place and they are mindless.

And that is your line in the Sand? You can tolerate any other similarities, blatant propaganda and authoritarian dictatorial maneuvers, but if they ever start hanging banners in the streets, that will be too much.
At least you have your principles.

So is that happening here?

We don't have any public enlightenment run by like minded?

When did I say that? You are good at spinning a narrative which suits your purpose.

Fascinating that Chuck can start a fight posting something we all can essentially agree with.

That would be Chuck the ultimate spinster

So you all agree that Trump is fascist authoritarian who wants to be a dictator?

If so, why don't you say so?
