Ken Burns: Trump using Nazi playbook

[EvilCat Breath]

Democrats should sit in quiet and try to figure out how they lost the presidency, the Senate, the house, 30 governorships and several state legislatures.

The party members need to internalize that Nancy Pelosi is not correct. The democrats are on the floor getting a count out. It is not the time to put the hitler thumb in your mouth and suck harder.

Godwin's law (or Godwin's rule of Hitler analogies)[1][2] is an Internet adage asserting that "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Hitler approaches 1"[2][3]—that is, if an online discussion (regardless of topic or scope) goes on long enough, sooner or later someone will compare someone or something to Hitler.

Promulgated by American attorney and author Mike Godwin in 1990,[2] Godwin's law originally referred specifically to Usenet newsgroupdiscussions.[4] It is now applied to any threaded online discussion, such as Internet forums, chat rooms, and comment threads, as well as to speeches, articles, and other rhetoric[5][6] where reductio ad Hitlerum occurs.

In 2012, "Godwin's law" became an entry in the third edition of the Oxford English Dictionary.[7]

Congratulations, the OP has Godwinned his own thread with the first post. All should go downhill from here. I say, put this in the Rubber Room and get it over with.

You guys spent eight years calling Obama a nazi, marxist, socialist, etc. So, very nicely, fuck off, blackrook.

I suggest you wipe away your tears and get used to the fact that you guys don't have the power to fuck up our country for the next four years.

Tears of laughter at you silliness and you better get used to the fact that the solid majority of Americans are not in Trump's corner. We have plenty of power to legally prevent Trump from doing most things. Ask Johnson, ask Nixon. We stopped your predecessors fifty years ago. And you guys are wusses and snowflakes: no problem.

I know that you Democrats are in your beer halls plotting the next move, but other than a putsch with your brownshirt army, what are your options?

I really, really hope that he is wrong, but this is very scary.

And the butthurt continues!

You Hillary worshippers are pretty freakin sorry. And stupid.

Actually Burns didn't say it. It's spin by the same CNN that joked about Trump's plane crashing.

Ken Burns is recognized as one of the greatest scholars of history and produced detailed and extremely accurate documentaries on cultural diseases, such as Nazism. If there is anyone that can recognize a parallel movement, it would be Burns. The deniers on this board are all being scammed with the racist rhetoric of the Alt-Right movement, as they continue to deny their racist tendencies.

Unless of course, unless they are part of the Alt-Right movement. The movement will flourish in the Trump White House.

Ken Burns: Trump using Nazi playbook


Ever since the American people kicked the Democrats out of the White House and every majority in government, the liberals have thrown out what little civilized restraint they had: Now they'll call names, call everyone Nazis, accuse everyone of unspeakable crimes, etc, you name it.

When the going gets tough, these people turn into hate-filled monsters.

We kicked them out just in time.

Turn into what the right were for 8 years huh? Seems to be the American way.

Key difference being Trump is flip-flopping on his previous campaign rhetoric because, you know, we have a Constitution here.

Oh, that is not him in the video? Now you are denying what your eyes see. Trump could ask you to start wearing a Nazi swastika and you would happily do it.

He will twist the Constitution as far as he can to implement the Alt-Right doctrine. Bannon is even now formulating how to strike the First Amendment.

I never called him any of those things. Ever.

Not once.

Are you trying to set a record for the number of times you can be wrong in one thread?

I don't think that just because Trump won, democrats stopped building their ovens....

Ken Burns isn't a scholar of anything. He is known for using archival footage and clever editing. His analysis closely parallels novelist, Stephen King, who also fancies himself some sort of scholar.

Someone should propose a crime for misrepresentstion of scholastic achievement. It would be similar to stolen Valor laws.

Oops, just re-read it. I have called Obama a socialist a number of times.

Which is like calling my family boxer a dog.

Not a Nazi, Marxist, etc.

So you were only wrong twice in one post, not three times.
