Ken Burns Speaks to the Truth of This Time in History

[BlindBoo]

No, because that's not the argument. Outside of California, Trump even won the popular vote.

That's how weak Hillary was.

Not if you exclude the same number of votes as you did with Ca. 14 million votes from certain red states like Texas, Indiana, and Oklahoma. Hillary would have still won the popular vote.

 

[Mac-7]

Burns is of course correct.

Let's hope enough people listen to him.

Burns is a double-talking lib

 

[struth]

The Nazi Fascist Hitler was appointed Chancellor Jan. 30 1933 and by end of March that year he was given dictatorial power. By July Hitler was able to outlaw all other political parties in Germany including the real Socialists and Communists who were always at odds with the Nazi Fascists. So yeah, pretty ******* quick. Nothing like compromising Joe's governance.

yeah, the natonal socialist party simply didn't come into existance the day HItler was appointed Chancellor.

Geez man....

 

[BlindBoo]

Geez man....

They did all of the things necessary to give Hitler unilateral dictatorial power within months of his appointment.

Neither failed President Benedict Donald nor President Biden are like Nazi Fascists but only one has asperations of being a dictator.

Remember ladies, a vote for Joe Biden is a vote to see Benedict Donald stand trial in 2025.

I DGAF what you respect. Burns is right.

You are wrong and Burns is wrong.

 

[pknopp]

Avoid the point if you wish.

Try watching the video. I don't need your Ken Burns stuff.

I won't give them to you. I threw them away in the Recycle container yesterday.

They did, but the national socialist party existed prior to that undermining their system.

You are right we will continue to see the demafasict prosecute political rivals if we allow them to stay in power, continuing to undermine our democracy

They were a fringe hate group until late in the decade.

"In 1930, the Nazis attracted eight times more votes than in 1928. They managed to secure 18.3% of the vote, and 107 seats in the Reichstag. The continuing failure of the government to stabilise the situation only increased the Nazis popularity.

In February 1932, Hitler ran against Hindenburg to become president. Goebbel’s propaganda campaign presented Hitler as a new, dynamic and modern leader for Germany. To emphasise this point, Hitler flew from venue to venue via aeroplane. Hitler lost the election, with 36.8% of the vote to Hindenburg’s 53%. Despite losing, people now viewed Hitler as a credible politician."

We prosecute crimes and running for public office is not a get out of jail free card.

 

[yidnar]

Hahaha. Real fascist have the entire opposing party declared illegal and put the entire leadership in concentration camps. Then they take over the press......They don't waist time on fair court proceedings where those accused of crimes have their day in court.

fair court proceedings ? wow ! never has a case like this been prosecuted in the judicial history of NYC ! as for the rest of your Marxist ****** tripe .. the left has taken over the majority of the MSM , social media , academics , the the federal 3 letter agencies , entertainment and more ...

 

[surada]

Just another spew from another elitist snob.

Do you reject education and decency?

 

[mamooth]

Nearly anyone other than Biden.

Biden was really the only Democratic candidate who could have beaten Trump in 2020, so he was the best candidate. The perfect is the enemy of the good.

Argue to me I am wrong. There is not a single state that Hillary won that Sanders would have lost. Not a one.

Sanders would have lost in a landslide. You underestimate just how much the mainstream media hates socialists. And it's not like Sanders didn't have a whole closet full of skeletons, which the media would have focused on. The whole media would have been united in Sanders-hatred. Sanders would have lost every swing state.

I'm 62. Biden is of the corporate arm of the Democrat party. I will never vote for any of them.

Voting isn't a game, something you do to make yourself feel morally pure. Real people suffer and die as a result of your vote. Voting to make yourself feel good is selfish. Voting should be about doing good, not about feeling good.

 

[mamooth]

Who told you that?

You're actually denying that Trump's populists aren't primary driven by bigotry?

Have you gotten anyone outside of your cult to believe such a stupid story?

No? Well, keep trying. They must be some mentally feeble or perpetually drunk people you haven't reached.

They same liars who told you Trump was a Russian asset? You are a sucker.

He is a Russian asset, it's been proven beyond any shadow of a doubt, and only the most devoted commiesuckers, the ones who wore out multiple kneepads for Putin and Xi, only they will try to deny it.

That's you.

 

[pknopp]

Biden might have beat him in 2020. Now he is way too old. The electorate is trying to tell the Democrats that.

Most likely Democrats won't listen and will lose again.

Sanders would have lost in a landslide. You underestimate just how much the mainstream media hates socialists. And it's not like Sanders didn't have a whole closet full of skeletons, which the media would have focused on. The whole media would have been united in Sanders-hatred. Sanders would have lost every swing state.

Again..........There isn't a state Hillary won that Sanders would have lost. He beat Hillary in Wisconsin and Michigan. He would have won those states.

Voting isn't a game, something you do to make yourself feel morally pure. Real people suffer and die as a result of your vote. Voting to make yourself feel good is selfish. Voting should be about doing good, not about feeling good.

I do good with my vote.

How is that bigotry exhibited? Let's have some examples.

 

[Whodatsaywhodat.]

Admit it. You want to cancel me as well, along with every liberal. In your Stalinist utopia, liberals will be banned from communicating.

Censorship is a defining characteristic of the modern conservative. Those who don't display a lust to censor are kicked out of the Trump cult.

All you dickheads do is lie anyway. So would it even matter?

I did *****, and when he opened his mouth and spouted bullshit on whom to vote for I said **** YOU KEN BURNS
I no longer respect you. Same with Robert De Niro.

Undergraduate Commencement Address by Ken Burns

www.brandeis.edu

I suggest you read the address, because like you .... I stopped at those words ... well I didn't stop, but I re-reread them, and about two or three paragraphs on either side.

BURNS STATES HIS THESIS at nearly the precise middle of his address, ""A very wise person I know with years of experience with the Middle East recently challenged me, "Could you hold the idea that there could be two wrongs and two rights?" ....

"Still, we know and we hear and we express only arguments, and by so doing, we forget the inconvenient complexities of history and of human nature. That, for example, three great religions, their believers, all children of Abraham, each professing at the heart of their teaching, a respect for all human life, each with a central connection to and legitimate claim to the same holy ground, violate their own dictates of conduct and make this perpetually contested land a shameful graveyard. God does not distinguish between the dead. "Could you?" (emphasis mine)

And that's the challenge for all of us, and we all fail at every day ... part of the time. There are common reasons for what Maga, progs, Jews and Pales are up to. If (g)od prefers one to another, it can't be "the God."

I think Burns was "assuming" Trump had no interest in future elections, and he'd be quite happy with a new civil war. And THAT's the reason for his contrasting Trump with Lincoln. Burns is hardly alone. It's a question what with Trump claiming he could run for a third term. But I'd agree that inserting Trump into the address took away more than it added.

But I'm not so sure. Trump's venal, a narcissist of the degree that it's actually a disabling condition for the ****. That's exactly what Burns is saying about his interview with James Baldwin .... blacks were put into slavery without their consent, but all people are slaves to their own ... (I'll call it our inability to see our enemies are not so different from ourselves.)
