6. I always wondered how anyone could admire Hitler

Thu Jan 15, 2026, 06:41 PM

You read what he did, what he believed and it makes no sense anyone would wish to emulate him.

UNLESS you are a true sociopath then all sense of humanity and empathy goes away and thus the slaughter of the millions of people no longer resonates.

What resonates for Trump is Hitler--

-Got shit done
-Suppressed, even killed people who opposed him
-Built a police force to foment chaos on the streets, leading to greater authoritarian control
-Demanded loyalty at all costs
-Banned opposition political parties
-Controlled information and what was said about him, and would persecute anyone who said anything "wrong"
-Ruled with an iron fist, freedom was by his decree only and there was no prospect of social democracy
-Took what he wanted
-Got rid of who he didn't want

How are we doing so far? Only thing missing is a "Trump Youth" organization. Turning Points doesn't count, nefarious as they are.
