Forget about his horrible policies screwing the country, what I will never understand are people still denying that he has dementia

    I can’t think of a better comment to exemplify how totally clueless people are and how they swallow the lies of the DNC and Media so fully

      It’s not a lie. Trump straight up said he’d be a dictator. He said it on national television. Here is him doubling down on it:

      And evidently he is quite fond of Hitler:

      In his new book The Return of Great Powers, which comes out Tuesday, reporter Jim Sciutto interviews several of Trump’s former advisers. All of them stressed that Trump regularly lavished praise on authoritarian leaders around the world, calling Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán “fantastic,” Chinese President Xi Jinping “brilliant,” and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un an “OK guy.”

      Horrifyingly, Trump also said, “Well, but Hitler did some good things,” according to John Kelly, who served as White House chief of staff from 2017 to 2019.

      “I said, ‘Well, what?’ And he said, ‘Well, [Hitler] rebuilt the economy.’ But what did he do with that rebuilt economy? He turned it against his own people and against the world. And I said, ‘Sir, you can never say anything good about the guy. Nothing,’” Kelly told Sciutto. “I mean, Mussolini was a great guy in comparison.”

      Kelly said that Trump also praised Hitler for achieving complete loyalty from senior Nazi officials—and Trump expected similar fealty from the retired generals he brought on to his cabinet.

      “He would ask about the loyalty issues and about how, when I pointed out to him the German generals as a group were not loyal to him, and in fact tried to assassinate him a few times, and he didn’t know that,” Kelly said. “He truly believed, when he brought us generals in, that we would be loyal—that we would do anything he wanted us to do.”

      Here’s a pretty clueless comment:

      “I like Trump policies. But I would have preferred a different candidate this time around. As the bullshit of the indictments started I became more motivated than ever to vote for him just to finally end the lunacy brought forth by the Leftists.”

      Talk about swallowing lies…

        Good point. I’d rather get crushed by inflation than vote for a candidate that I don’t especially like but will cure the problem that is fucking me

          Ah yes, inflation is the only thing at stake in this election. So glad you have your priorities straight.

              The right to vote, given that the republican forerunner is seeking to be a dictator.

            Well I’m also interested in wasting more tax dollars in funding for the Ukraine war. You know a war that they cannot possibly win on the battlefield. But fuck negotiating a settlement because that’s what the media told me to think.

              I don’t mind spending the dollars. I mind sending troops. Lefties want to send troops but not actually go themselves.

                /u/blamemeta, are you going to call this out for treating leftists as a monolith, or will the double standard continue?

            LOL. I wouldn’t want anyone so clueless as to how math works to ever touch my money. But on the plus side getting fucked with inflation feels better when you can rationalize that you didn’t actually vote for the people whose policies are fucking you. Reminds me of some sexual practices that physically hurt but are some how pleasurable.

                Just reported you.

                People debate issues. Grammar school kids call names and will ill for those who disagree with them

                  Imagine thinking people say things like this in debates. Big yikes, go ahead and report me snowflake.
