Putting the movement surrounding trump in historical context.

[berg80]

You are correct. He could govern like Mother Theresa, and they would continue saying the exact some things.

Putting aside the absurdity of the assertion, everything about him down to his core is the opposite of her selflessness.

 

[Man With A Plan]

That's pretty vague.

Kind of like a Kamala Harris speech, Berg?

 

[Lisa558]

Think.

If Trump is "totally fascist" why is Sleepy Joe meeting with him? Shouldn't he be meeting with Ryan Wesley Routh or John W Hinkley instead?

The Left's story is falling apart, it internally inconsistent.

The first step for Biden Cult to take, if they want to recover, is to admit they were wrong. That's the first step to recovery from their culture of trumpaphobia.

They’re all stuck in denial.

The scary part is when they move onto the second stage: anger.

 

[Man With A Plan]

You are absolutely delusional. The whole IRS thing. Look, if some organization is screaming about overthrowing the government and refusing to pay taxes, well damn, I am probably going to investigate as rather or not they are paying taxes, it is common damn sense. Biden, and the the AG, are you talking about going after Trump? Did he break the law? Damn skippy, and he should be prosecuted. And the whole flood the country with illegals and defying the SCOTUS, please enlighten me. What SCOTUS ruling did he defy?

With all due respect, Winston? Lois Lerner targeted conservative political groups and when what they'd done was exposed...she took the 5th. Common sense?

 

[berg80]

Yet she seems oblivious to the FACT that both the Obama and the Biden Administrations were far more authoritarian than Trump was when he was in office? Trump never used the IRS against his political opponents. Obama did! Trump never used his DOJ against his political opponents. Biden did! Trump never defied the Supreme Court to flood the country with illegals. Biden and Harris did!

Let's forget Comey and McCabe being audited and talk about the fake IRS scandal.

Please provide evidence Obama was aware of, or directed, the IRS audits of both liberal and conservative political groups.

Remember the IRS Scandal? It was Fake News All Along​

Ok

According to the lib professor 80
Million Americans are wrong and she is right

Now that we cleared up can we get on with deporting illegal aliens and fake asylum seekers?

We have a lot to do in the next four years

You just made her point!

 

[berg80]

If Trump is "totally fascist" why is Sleepy Joe meeting with him?

As a courtesy to the incoming prez. A courtesy trump did not extend to Biden since he was too busy plotting a coup.

 

[Mac1958]

It wasn't long ago we saw the Trumpsters screaming that the Dems wanted "a one party state".

Now, the GQP has that, plus a compliant Supreme Court and a President with immunity.

Suddenly we're not hearing that complaint any more.

Weird, huh?

 

[berg80]

He's a progressive and the progressive agenda was just tossed into the trash heap of political history by the voters.

Actually, it didn't. trump's positions on abortion, gun control, mass deportation, the environment, all remain as unpopular now as they were before the election.

Lerner targeted conservative groups, Berg. It's why she took the 5th. She didn't want to answer questions about what they'd done because she KNEW that what they'd been doing was an abuse of power!

Frequently, they scream so loudly they can't hear themselves. Nor do they notice the rank hypocrisy of their constant grievances.

Those views may be "unpopular" in your circle of progressives, Berg but they weren't with the vast majority of Americans hence the beating you just took at the polls! Duh?

 

[SeaMajor7]

As Ben-Ghiat explains in detailed ways I can not, there are clear historical parallels between the trumpist movement and fascist movements from the past that have happened around the world.
I'm sorry your attention span doesn't allow for more than bumper sticker summations.

The American Electorate kicked you commies TO THE TRASH BIN.
GET. OVER. IT.
YOU'RE FIRED!!!!!
STFU
GTFOH
GFY

The reason to revisit this issue now is that the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) issued a report last week that showed that the supposedly scandalous behavior never happened. In other words, the central lie behind this non-scandal has been definitively undermined.

This is, or at least ought to be, big news. Former President Obama and his supporters should view this as an opportunity to take a victory lap. After more than four years of Republicans' efforts to try to backfill their absurd claims of a big political scandal, the entire story has (again) collapsed.

 

[LordBrownTrout]

I've been listening to what Ruth Ben-Ghiat has to say for some time now. It seems unlikely to me fans of trump will be willing to hear it. They will no doubt find it uncomfortable and therefore turn away.

For those who don't, you'll find she makes some valuable, and valid, observations. Ones that help make sense of this period in our history.

Run a candidate next time with an IQ higher than 2 and someone who doesn't hold the public in contempt and derision.

Irrelevant. Democrats value narrative over truth. Two examples, some still claim that TRUMP! said neo-Nazis were fine people and some still claim Kyle Rittenhouse was hunting black people that night, even though both are nonsense. They do this because narrative is easier than truth. All you have to do is repeat something mindlessly and endlessly. You don't have to question your beliefs. In 2016, we heard ad nauseum that TRUMP! was going to destroy the economy, that he was going to ignite a devastating trade war with China that was going to crush America, that he was going to start WWIII, that he was going to give the store away to Russia. None of those things came true in the 4 years of his first term, yet, what are we hearing now? Exactly the same kinds of things with the same kind of certainty. Yes, TRUMP! could govern like Mother Theresa and the same democrats now spewing their hate filled narratives would continue spewing them. Narrative over truth.

 

[Mac-7]

Oh?

How?

 

[Polishprince]

FDR wasn't courteous to Hitler or Mussolini, why is Biden courteous to the supposed modern manifestations of this movement?

 

[marvin martian]

Can you post a transcript, please? I don't like giving clicks to talking heads.

Especially when those heads are communist Chinese assets.

 

[berg80]

National polls show a majority of Americans disagree with trump on every major issue facing the nation. They voted for trump due to anger over inflation. Not an endorsement of his policy agenda.
