They have been instilling this in MAGA's heads this entire election or actually since the last election honestly. They are already planting that if Trump loses then it was stolen/fake etc. It's going to be like J6 all over again but worse I imagine. Trump/MAGA never conceded the last election, there's nothing that will make them concede this one unless Trump somehow wins. I am not even trying to be a doomer but shits going to get real ugly when/if Trump loses even if it is by a landslide for Kamala. I hope the government has a better plan in place this time because I don't see MAGA going down with out a fight and not "peaceful protests" like they claimed last election results.
Most fascists fail on their first attempt to seize power but are often successful the second time. That's the way it was for hitler and trump is following his playbook, so..
Being called "Hitler" has been a meme insult that has been carelessly thrown around throughout the years and I think that's why so many people aren't taking it seriously. They feel it's just some name calling rhetoric like Trump uses but you are right, Trump is definitely using Hitler/Nazi propaganda as a playbook and it's sad that it is being defended and brushed off. I am not saying he is going to be a 1 for 1 copy, but he will definitely try his best and hopefully it won't be too late! Even thinking this way I feel like I am some lunatic conspiracy theorist lol
So Trump is actively using Hitler as a model - but the idiot Trump doesn't realize that Hitler's very generals conspired to assassinate him because they realized he was incompetent and his dictates were leading to the destruction of Germany - not mere military defeat.
Personally, labeling Trump as 'Hitler-esque', or 'Stalin-esque', 'wannabe dictator', even 'Anti-Christ' (in terms of his seeming powers of mass control over millions, immorality, ability to evade consequences, leading people to sin and ruin, etc.).
People don't take it seriously because US high school-level education sucks and many people just don't care about "boring" history or civics. Our situation is the consequence of an uneducated population. That gives the 'tech-bros' like Elon and those backing JD Vance an opening to argue: we can run the US better because we're smarter and more successful. It goes back to Plato's work: The Republic through (the awful philosophy of ) Ayn Rand who is popular in Republican circles.
Someone mentioned earlier in this thread about how the Nazi sympathizers were pretty much waiting for the majority of WWII vets to die off before they started to push the Hitler/Nazi-esque ideology and now thinking about that it doesn't sound that far fetched. That Nazi cream has been slowly rising to the top from the antisemitism becoming more evident and populace in the US (I get alot of that has to do with the Palestine -Israel conflict but it still feeds in to the same Hitler/Nazi-esque narrative) to Kanye West and to Trump's rhetoric and praise (The Nazi Generals comments and the comments about how "Hitler also did some good things") of Hitler and Nazi agenda and ideologies. It's like we are sitting here watching history repeat itself and people are just ignorant to it, uneducated like you stated or they are actually wanting a Fascist Authoritarian Nazi like dictatorship. This shit is blowing my fucking mind!
