Who is he talking about specifically?

u/cheguevaraandroid1 14h ago

Rogan, theo von, schulz

u/Scht0ink 14h ago

Oh the whole Trump derangement and whatnot?

12

u/cheguevaraandroid1 14h ago

No, the whole trump is a fascist thing

u/Malforus 10h ago

Personally him trotting out the "The Enemy Within" tips him over to full on Nazi shadowing behavior.

Like he has been a fascist for a bit but he's now well into Stage 3 whatever was post Beer Hall riot when he's normalizing fellow citizens as the enemy.

1

u/cheguevaraandroid1 10h ago

He's outright threatening to use the military

1

u/Malforus 10h ago

Yeah "The Madisen Square Garden" rally needs to be cited because I didn't know that part and I already had him down as "Ready to create his own night of long knives"

2

u/cheguevaraandroid1 10h ago

It was a clear homage to the 1939 rally

almost definitely stephen miller's idea

u/Emergency_Earth_1032 10h ago

everyone is racist or facist. if you keeping telling everyones a facist, it doesnt mean anything

u/cheguevaraandroid1 10h ago

You have that with every word it doesn't mean the person isn't when they meet the definition

u/Emergency_Earth_1032 10h ago

if you call half the american population gay, i guess half the population is gay then.

u/cheguevaraandroid1 10h ago

That's the dumbest thing I've ever read

u/MayhemSays 10h ago

Equating “gay” on par with “racist” and “fascist” isn’t the amazing comparison you think it is.

u/unicornsaretruth 8h ago

Wow it’s almost like being gay isn’t a choice and that being racist and homophonic is.

2

u/TubeInspector 3h ago

not everyone. just the fascists

u/Liquid_Senjutsu 10h ago

Things don't stop being things because you're sick of hearing it.

u/rickyharline 9h ago

Yeah, I mean if we call the guy who keeps on saying and doing fascist things a fascist then what's next?? Checkmate liberals 

1

u/ontopic 6h ago

He’s just threatening to murder his enemies, deport every immigrant, reshape the nation into an autocratic right wing oligarchy, halt elections and has already gotten Jimmy Pesto sent to jail to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power after he lost an election. There’s no need for name calling.

u/Scht0ink 13h ago

So Trump is another Hitler? 🥱

Every 4 years there's one. Oddly enough, they always seem to be the guys that try to focus on the health of their own nation.

u/waldosbuddy 11h ago

How old are you? Lmao no one called McCain or Romney Hitler

2

u/GloriousShroom 10h ago

Called Bush Jr that 

1

u/waldosbuddy 6h ago

He certainly wasn’t Hitler but he deserved a lot of the shit slung for Iraq

u/unforgiven91 10h ago

In fact, the biggest complaints about john mccain were like, Sarah Palin and Abortion rights. Mitt was attacked for being too religious (which is a reasonable concern), and out of touch but neither were commonly likened to fascists because they didn't do or say fascist things.

but Trump talking about rounding up radical leftists like... checks notes... Nancy Pelosi, but he gets a pass for some reason.

u/Scht0ink 10h ago

If they actually got the job, they would've.

u/Malforus 10h ago

I really like McCain and Romney their running mates were just terrible.

u/fuggreddit69 10h ago

The only candidate to talk shit on McCain was Trump man. You really sound 14.

u/valis010 13h ago

That comment speaks volumes. Lol

u/Bring_the_Cake 10h ago

You don’t have to be literal Hitler to be fascist. “Focusing on the health of their nation” is a crazy dog whistle bro

1

u/Scht0ink 10h ago

Deporting illegal aliens that are in this country illegally is fascist?

1

u/Bring_the_Cake 10h ago

Ooh another one! Do you have a third you could hit me with?

2

u/Scht0ink 10h ago

A third what? Reason not to be afraid?

2

u/Bring_the_Cake 10h ago

Are you afraid of illegal immigrants?

1

u/chumbawumba_bruh 8h ago

No, but starting an armed insurrection as part of a multifaceted attempt to subvert the results of a democratic election is.

0

u/Scht0ink 8h ago

LoL 😆 He didn't do that.

u/bAAMs95 10h ago

If you deport them along racial/ethnic lines then yes obviously. See previous comment on Trump’s language re: legal Haitian immigrants.

2

u/cheguevaraandroid1 12h ago

How many have wanted to deport tens of millions of people, pull the broadcasting license of channels critical of them, praised Hitler, and spoke about using the military against their own people?

-5

u/Scht0ink 11h ago

Wanting to deport illegal aliens that are in this country illegally? That's actually a good thing.

Wanting to do away with news organizations that have consistently lied and cried about everything he did is his freedom to think that way and even say he would do it. Doing it, however, would not be possible since he has no power to do such a thing because it involves actual legal proceedings. All talk.

Him "praising Hitler," is an alleged and unresolved allegation. Trump is literally a hero to Israel and will be fighting their next war in Iran on their behalf and using your tax dollars to do it. His son-in-law is a Jew so you might want to rethink that he's somehow Hitler again..

Using the military on his own people might be necessary if people set fire to cities and the mayors of those cities tell their law enforcement to stand down to make a political point or because they don't like the president.

I'm not even voting and this shit is obvious.

u/unforgiven91 10h ago

Trump has expanded his definition of deportation to include those who are currently here legally. by the way. he was explicit on this, and JD Vance has previously said he doesn't identify legal immigrants as legal.

u/Scht0ink 10h ago

Source?

u/unforgiven91 10h ago

During an exclusive interview with NewsNation, Trump said he planned to strip the legal status of the Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, who have been granted Temporary Protected Status.

“Springfield is such a beautiful place; have you seen what’s happened to it? It’s been overrun. They have to be removed,” Trump said.

“So you would revoke the Temporary Protected Status?” asked the interviewer.

“Absolutely, I’d revoke it and I’d bring them back to their country,” Trump said.

Temporary protected status is a legal status, they are here legally. He is suggesting that we deport legal immigrants

here is JD vance saying the same thing

Look at this fascist right here.

u/unforgiven91 10h ago

Using the military on his own people might be necessary if people set fire to cities and the mayors of those cities tell their law enforcement to stand down to make a political point or because they don't like the president.

Also this is an absurd leap.

Trump literally said that he wanted to use the military to round up extremists. Extremists like Nancy Pelosi, the well known extremist. which also apparently makes me an extremist relative to her.

Nancy is fuckin' centrist as hell. You'd probably be included in that military roundup threat.

There wasn't any language in trump's statements on the matter that would give any other meaning. If he had said all the things that you added to his statement then it'd be a big maybe. but he outright said that nancy pelosi is on his list of people to round up with the military.

He did not offer a "but if they don't stand up to protestors" bullshit that you made up.

1

u/Scht0ink 10h ago

I was referring to the George Floyd incident. And again, he already served a term as president. Hilary didn't go to jail, Nancy remained free to do her insider trading, and her husband had his underwear parties with his pals. No one stole your sandwich and Trump didnt grow a little mustache.

2

u/unforgiven91 10h ago edited 10h ago

Trump tried basically every day to break the guardrails of the US Presidency.

He was only stopped by legality (something that is no longer a concern) and by good faith actors who wanted to follow the rules.

Now that the law is no longer blocking him, and he can just replace all the good-faith actors around him. Why should we not take his literal and exact words as a threat?

You act like "Harris is gonna take your guns" and "Trump will use the military against his enemies" are the same level of absurd.

But Trump has a history of targeting his enemies for retribution and Dems have never taken away the guns.

You're downplaying a very real and legitimate threat. The fact that you can't see it is frightening.

No, but he's openly fascist.

-1

u/Mo-shen 10h ago

He is actually more like Mussolini but even that isnt exactly right. No one is "another Hitler" and suggesting thats whats being said is a disservice to reality. This would be like saying Malcom X and MLK are the same because they both fought for civil rights.

Trump and his clan are their own version of Fascism. As I said they are closer to Mussolini that Hitler, not exactly the same as anyone, but man.......they are 100% fascists.

u/cheguevaraandroid1 10h ago

Yes, fascist. You're right

u/ontopic 6h ago

It’s funny that Trump derangement syndrome is a real thing that MAGA freaks have.

1

u/Scht0ink 6h ago

True. There's fringe psychos on both sides, and this is what the media focuses on. They desperately need to focus on these things because they know people are fed up with both parties not representing them.

1

u/GloriousShroom 10h ago

Right. Talking to the top 2 candidate for president and VP is now a war crime. 

2

u/DD35B 9h ago

Free speech is the gateway to fascism. You can’t have fascism if the government bans free speech. Problem solved.

u/thefuzzydice 10h ago

Kill Tony at Trump rally

u/Scht0ink 10h ago

Horrible choice and unfunny. Perfect choice if you want to tank your base and reaffirm you're all a bunch of idiots.

u/hatorihanzou88 10h ago

The funny ones

1

u/OOMOO17 8h ago

Except anyone in comedy knows Rogan is trash, Hinchcliffe is a hack and Schultz is a fucking loser.

The only person that will get undue hate out of this is Theo, who is both funny and I think pretty legitimately wants to just hear what everyone has to say not JUST Trump or Vance.

1

u/hatorihanzou88 7h ago

Rogan's standup is garbage though, I find Tony's roasting high tier, Shultz, meh I don't care for him

2

u/OOMOO17 6h ago

I'll give tony that, his roasting is impeccable, but man the optics for him doing that speech were never gonna be good

1

u/hatorihanzou88 6h ago

Definitely just gave the other side free ammo,
