    Everything old is new again. Some terminology to study up on.

    Führerprinzip is the "leader principle" developed in Nazi Germany, which holds that absolute obedience and loyalty must be given to a single, powerful leader (the Führer).

    This leader is viewed as embodying the will of the people and the nation, with authority that cannot be questioned. It emphasizes a top-down hierarchical structure where decisions are made by the leader without democratic input, and all power is concentrated in their hands.

    This overlaps with chronic MAGA supporters in their strong personal loyalty to Donald Trump, often viewing him as a singular figure who can restore or protect national greatness.

    For some, Trump is seen as a decisive leader who stands above conventional political processes.

    Dissent or criticism of him is often met with fierce resistance, particularly punishing to errant members.

    In both cases, there’s an emphasis on loyalty to the leader as essential for the nation's success, and a tendency to sideline institutions or democratic norms in favor of the leader's authority.

    She went ahead and shot herself in the foot again

    "Harris Calls Trump a Fascist"
    "Voters asked direct questions. Harris gave circular answers."
    -NYT

    Even if, a big if, Trump's a fascist, then the problem is with the checks and balances in government... not Trump. Ergo, Kamala must want to burn it all down and is the actual fascist! QED

    She must not know what refutation by contradiction is... welcome to the circular firing squad.

    The campaign of joy has now turned into nothing but pure loathing. No policy, no track record, nothing... just pure loathing. Sad.

    The extreme radical Democrats have taken over. God help us all! If you're a sane, centrist, Democrat... run as far away as possible.

    Spy, you seem younger but we were brought up in a culture that was still recovering from the war. In comics, TV and movies for little boys, killing Nazis was an absolute good.

    The portrayal of Nazis as the embodiment of evil became a core part of the moral framework for many in our generation. It’s a deeply ingrained reaction, reflexive, to see anything remotely linked to fascism or authoritarianism in the same light.

    We are indoctrinated, programmed from an early age to regard anything with a whiff of Nazi as something to be destroyed.

    Similar to the pledge of alliance, Jesuit instruction, when it is taught young, it sticks.

    If you came out with that gaslighting tripe in my presence, I would beat you senseless and feel no guilt whatsoever.

    Lol... tough guy, huh? You're an empty shell of a person who is clearly in significant mental decline; probably physical decline too. I'm sorry you can't keep up with me. Just enjoy your life and let other's live their own.

    This is what TDS panic and stupidity looks like

    Get rid of the voting machines and you will see what real democracy looks like.
    Dems are always in lockstep, always doubling down = inverted democracy.
    Israel will hit Iran any day now, Russia will support Iran.
