Or that the agenda of Hitler's Nazi Party was identical with your party:

You really should study history. The Nazis are what the Nazis were......guess which party has the very same agenda?

Government spending as a percentage of GDP averaged around 40% pre-war. Additionally (at least in the beginning) 80% of the budget was spent on social programs, not the hallmark of an "evil, right wing, capitalist economy." Sign in

Workers Welfare Programs:

In the best passage of Government largess, the Nazi regime fostered a purified liberal concept to enhance the living standard of German citizens across all segments of society. In order to stimulate the spirit of integrity, comradeship and happiness, Adolf Hitler fanned numerous programs and instituted strict rules for officials to carry them in eternal way.

a) Highly Subsidized International vacation trips.

b) Between 1933-1938 Strength through Joy (KDF) movement Organized 134,000 theater and concert events for 32 million people. 2 million people went on cruises and weekend trips and 11 million went on theater trips.

c) Nazis ensured that every citizen had a Radio.

d) 5 day week.

e) Free Public Health.

f) Trade Unions were banned. All workers had to join German labor Front. Strikes for higher wages were banned. People who refused to work were imprisoned. With fall in Inflation, purchasing power increased and wages actually fell.

g) Large factories had to provide rest areas, cafeterias, dressing rooms, even playing fields and swimming pools

h) They also banned "lock outs" for industries. No "reverse strikes"for them either.

1933-1945: In 1933 Hitler disbands the labor movement and strips Jews of citizenship. Jews, dissidents, and other minorities are put in concentration camps, where they are forced to work or killed outright. The Reich centralizes social programs and education as a means of control. The regime extends health insurance to retirees in 1941, and expands health care and maternity leave the following year. Commanding Heights : Germany | on PBS



During the 12 years of Hitler’s Third Reich, the National Socialists expanded and extended the welfare state to the point where over 17 million German citizens were receiving assistance under the auspices of the National Socialist People's Welfare (NSV) by 1939, an agency that had projected a powerful image of caring and support. Welfare state - Wikipedia







The Nazi rule under Adolf Hitler in the 1930s and 1940s led to an improvement in medical care and old age provision largely financed by high taxes on the wealthy, and theft from Jews and the people of the conquered territories (Aly 2007, 7). The Viability of the European Social Model: The German Welfare State and Labor Market Reform











The Nationalsozialistische Volkswohlfahrt (NSV), meaning "National Socialist People's Welfare", was a social welfare organization during the Third Reich. The NSV was established in 1933,.... The NSV became established as the single Nazi Party welfare organ in May 1933.[1] .... the programme was massively expanded, so that the régime deemed it worthy to be called the "greatest social institution in the world." One method of expansion was to absorb, or in NSDAP parlance coordinate, already existing but non-Nazi charity organizations. NSV was the second largest Nazi group organization by 1939, second only to the German Labor Front.

The National Socialists provided a plethora of social welfare programs under the Nazi concept of Volksgemeinschaft which promoted the collectivity of a “people’s community” where citizens would sacrifice themselves for the greater good. The NSV operated “8,000 day-nurseries” by 1939, and funded holiday homes for mothers, distributed additional food for large families, and was involved with a “wide variety of other facilities.”[4]

The Nazi social welfare provisions included old age insurance, rent supplements, unemployment and disability benefits, old-age homes, interest-free loans for married couples, along with healthcare insurance, which was not decreed mandatory until 1941[5] One of the NSV branches, the Office of Institutional and Special Welfare, was responsible “for travellers’ aid at railway stations; relief for ex-convicts; ‘support’ for re-migrants from abroad; assistance for the physically disabled, hard-of-hearing, deaf, mute, and blind; relief for the elderly, homeless and alcoholics; and the fight against illicit drugs and epidemics.”

These social welfare programs represented a Hitlerian endeavor to lift the community above the individual while promoting the wellbeing of all bona fide citizens. As Hitler told a reporter in 1934, he was determined to give Germans “the highest possible standard of living.” National Socialist People's Welfare - Wikipedia

Hitler’s Beneficiaries: Plunder, Racial War, and the Nazi Welfare State, by Götz Aly,

While underemphasized by modern historians, this socialism was stressed in many contemporaneous accounts of fascism, especially by libertarian thinkers. F.A. Hayek famously dedicated The Road to Serfdom to “the socialists of all parties”—that is, Labourites, Bolsheviks, and National Socialists.



Ludwig von Mises agreed, arguing in 1944 that “both Russia and Germany are right in calling their systems socialist.”

The Nazis themselves regarded the left-right convergence as integral to understanding fascism. Adolf Eichmann viewed National Socialism and communism as “quasi-siblings,” explaining in his memoirs that he “inclined towards the left and emphasized socialist aspects every bit as much as nationalist ones.” As late as 1944, Propaganda Minister Josef Goebbels publicly celebrated “our socialism,” reminding his war-weary subjects that Germany “alone [has] the best social welfare measures.” Contrast this, he advised, with the Jews, who were the very “incarnation of capitalism.”

Using a farrago of previously unpublished statistics, Aly describes in detail a social system larded with benefits —open only to Aryan comrades, naturally.

According to Götz Aly’s Hitler’s Beneficiaries: Plunder, Racial War, and the Nazi Welfare State, most previous treatments of German complicity in genocide overlook a significant aspect of Nazi rule. Aly, a historian at the Fritz Bauer Institut in Frankfurt and the author of more than a dozen books on fascism, urges us to follow the money, arguing that the Nazis maintained popular support—a necessary precondition for the “final solution”—not because of terror or ideological affinity but through a simple system of “plunder,” “bribery,” and a generous welfare state.

Hitler's Handouts​

Inside the Nazis' welfare state
reason.com





To “achieve a truly socialist division of personal assets,” he writes, Hitler implemented a variety of interventionist economic policies, including price and rent controls, exorbitant corporate taxes, frequent “polemics against landlords,” subsidies to German farmers as protection “against the vagaries of weather and the world market,” and harsh taxes on capital gains, which Hitler himself had denounced as “effortless income.”

“The Nazi leadership did not transform the majority of Germans into ideological fanatics who were convinced that they were the master race,” Aly concludes. “Instead it succeeded in making them well-fed parasites.”

Hitler’s Beneficiaries demonstrates a correlation between moral collapse and government largess.

While Aly’s impressive economic history succeeds in reminding readers that Bolshevism and Nazism were, in the words of historian Richard Pipes, both “heresies of socialism,” that service is ultimately overshadowed by a needlessly radical conclusion." Hitler's Handouts






I'm here to educate you. Say thank you.

Aren't you funny.
Let me ask you this then. How can someone who (at least) appears to be so well versed on post-depression Nazi Germany blindly support a Fascist takeover of the United States like we are watching occur right now?
You must understand that German citizens in the mid to late 1930's had the EXACT same attitude towards Adolf Hitler and the "preservation of the motherland" that you are demonstrating right now towards the Trump regime.
Just like them you seem to believe that a "strongman" cult leader who parrots nearly the EXACT same language used by Adolph Hitler is going to somehow "save" your own motherland and weed out the "parasitic vermin" you believe is infesting it.
"Educate?"
That's HILARIOUS!
Cut and paste propaganda is more like it.
You are just engaging in classic projection here. Accusing the Democrats of Fascism.....the very thing you are welcoming.

I know that I've said this before, but my mission here is education, and my "assistants" are the morons who vote Democrat with no understanding of why, or the belief that the lies the media tells them, is the truth.

My target audience are the 5 to 10 who read threads, don't post in them: they may not have heard the truth before, and I want to show how easily the "Magic Mike's" of the nation are dissected.

As one of my Asian forebears wrote, "Better to light one candle than to curse the darkness"

Must have been related to one of mine, who said, "Shit happens"

I don't know how much into music you are or if you're even old enough to remember the oldies...

But I've been listening to "Classic Vinyl" on Alexa/Sirius XM.

I hear songs all the time and I think, "This isn't how I remember it. These guys (girls) are much better than I remember".

Especially the Beatles, who I depised for decades. Then I hear them on Classic Vinyl and I'm like, "This is ten times better than I remember."

I wonder if it isn't becauise Classic Vinyl is broadcast from Cleveland and the Rock n Roll HOF. And they have all the masters, original music, live concerts, etc.

Or is it because, in the old days (even today) they play the music faster than it should be played. 5% faster distorts everything and makes the singers sound more 'girly' with higher pitched voices. And Classic Vinyl does it right.

Just thought I'd pass it along. BTW, to me, there's The Blues and there's everything else. But I do listen to good-old-fashioned rock on Classic Vinyl when BB King's Bluesville has an idiot running the place. Outlaw Country is okay, too. Twangy Country sucks. It's stupid.

Most people don't realize.. The Eagles started out, and became successful, as a Western Music band with a touch of Country flavor. Most American Music is derived from Country/Folk/Blues except for Head-Banger crap. And Gangsta Rap. Most of both being absolute garbage.

Sorry to bore you

You are fake newsing again but just like Trump you continually flood the zone with so much fake bullshit it's just too tedious to respond to it all.
Let me just pull a few here:

Under Trump we were energy independent….but you voted against that.

Nope.
Complete and utter bullshit. The U.S. has never been "energy independent." In fact that very term "energy independent" is just fabricated out of whole cloth to get clueless dupes like you to repeat it.
And why do you repeat it.
Because you are actually clueless and you have no real idea how the complex global oil market works.
But hey, a convicted felon and documented pathological liar told you this was true....so that was good enough for you right?

Under Trump 80% of illegal alien were kept in Mexico….but you voted against that.

How about a credible link to support this 80% figure? Credible being the operative word.
You won't find one. Know why?
Because yep, you're full of shit on this one too.
That's two fails for you.

Under Trump inflation was 1.4%….but you voted against that.

Nope
It was 2.4%

Under Trump crime was far lower, as were homicides….but you voted against that.

Again, you are obviously just pulling your little fake factoids out of your ass here.
The REAL facts (FBI statistics) show that in Trump's first three years violent crime went down slightly each year but in his last year it spiked again erasing all previous gains.
Actual statistics also prove that Under Biden's presidency violent crime decreased dramatically every year.

Under Trump Iran was kept in a box….but you voted against that.

Again another epic fail for you on the bullshit meter PoliticalChica.
The ACTUAL FACTS on this matter are exactly 180 degrees opposite of your claim here.
Please try to educate yourself on these things before showing up here and just cutting and pasting a bunch of shit you don't even understand (and probably don't even read yourself) trying to sound intelligent.
It has just the opposite effect.

WASHINGTON (AP) — It was a time of fear and chaos four years ago.

The death count was mounting as COVID-19 spread. Financial markets were panicked. Oil prices briefly went negative. The Federal Reserve slashed its benchmark interest rates to combat the sudden recession. And the U.S. government went on a historic borrowing spree — adding trillions to the national debt — to keep families and businesses afloat.

But as Donald Trump recalled that moment at a recent rally, the former president exuded pride.

“We had the greatest economy in history,” the Republican told his Wisconsin audience. “The 30-year mortgage rate was at a record low, the lowest ever recorded ... 2.65%, that’s what your mortgage rates were.”

The question of who can best steer the U.S. economy could be a deciding factor in who wins November’s presidential election. While an April Gallup poll found that Americans were most likely to say that immigration is the country’s top problem, the economy in general and inflation were also high on the list.

Trump may have an edge over President Joe Biden on key economic concerns, according to an April poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs. The survey found that Americans were more likely to say that as president, Trump helped the country with job creation and cost of living. Nearly 6 in 10 Americans said that Biden’s presidency hurt the country on the cost of living.

But the economic numbers expose a far more complicated reality during Trump’s time in the White House. His tax cuts never delivered the promised growth. His budget deficits surged and then stayed relatively high under Biden. His tariffs and trade deals never brought back all of the lost factory jobs.

And there was the pandemic, an event that caused historic job losses for which Trump accepts no responsibility as well as low inflation — for which Trump takes full credit.

If anything, the economy during Trump’s presidency never lived up to his own hype.

Donald Trump told a record number of lies while in office, and ended his term with an unprecedent attack on democracy carried out by his supporters. Presidential lying has a long history in the United States, and significant research has been done on intention, lie typology, and outcomes. Trump’s lies go beyond the existing literature, threatening norms of democracy and bordering on authoritarian behavior. My research examines the power of presidential rhetoric by analyzing a dataset of fact-checked tweets, with the intention of better understanding if and how Trump’s dishonesty violates democratic norms and its potential implications for political violence. I find that this presidential lying falls outside of known typologies, with the unprecedented effect of undermining core democratic institutions and threatening the legitimacy of the American government. Trump uses anti-democratic call-to-action rhetoric that challenges the widely accepted norms of democracy, widening the scope of acceptable presidential behavior and eroding public trust in government.

Any article, event, opinion, data or study that redounds in favor of the Left/Demorat Party, is to be considered a lie or hoax.

PoliticalChica do you even realize you are quite literally the poster child for The Dunning,-Kruger effect.


Why do people think they know more than they do?

One type of overconfidence, called overprecision, occurs when someone is exaggeratedly certain that their answers are correct. These individuals may seem highly competent and persuasive due to their apparent confidence. They are often driven by a desire for status and power and the need to appear smarter than the people around them.

Dunning-Kruger Effect

The Dunning-Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people wrongly overestimate their knowledge or ability in a specific area. This tends to occur because a lack of self-awareness prevents them from accurately assessing their own skills.

2. ... according to a new Gallup poll, 45 percent of Democrats want the party to moveto the center, which is up 11 points from four years ago.

3. Well, the Democrats need to find their Trump

4. ....where a politician bonds with everyday Americans because he talks like them. And the-- -(AUDIENCE CLAPPING) The good news for Democrats is they have that guy, and his name is John Fetterman.




5. After the election, instead of curling up in a ball, Fetterman went to Mar-a-Lago,
And afterwards, Trump said "He's not liberal or conservative. He's just a commonsense person, which is beautiful."


6. Trump and Fetterman actually have a lot in common. They're both plain spoken anti-elitists who come from money, married exotic immigrant ladies, went to Ivy League schools, and aren't afraid to take on their own party.

7. Fetterman is that rare Democrat who's not afraid to put the woke nonsense peddlers in his own party in their place, saying things like
"Wanting a secure border and realizing that it was out of control.
That doesn't mean you're a xenophobe or a racist."
He's been unequivocally pro-Israel, as are most Americans, and when pro-Palestinian protesters showed up at his home, he went up on the roof and waved an Israeli flag.




8. Fetterman says the four words that strike fear in the heart of every Republican who wants to hang on to power,
"I am not woke."


9. That's why Trump won, not because Americans were clamoring for tariffs
Going where the American people are on crime
and immigration, gosh, it's so crazy, it just might work.
See, that's how you get these things called votes.

I heard Maher admit it takes his team of writers a week just to prepare his talk. As his writers slave to create new material, at night Maher reads it to make changes he wants. Give a team of writers a week for any poster here and we might get on TV too.

Cutting and pasting someone else's bullshit isn't "defending" simp. It is quite typical of simple folks like you afflicted with Dunning-Kruger Syndrome to grossly overestimate the quality of your arguments.
In short even though you sound like a fool you BELIEVE you're a genious.

Cutting and pasting other people's bullshit isn't "explaining" simp.
You are just pulling propaganda from your own echo chamber a d recycling it.

Lectures from a blind, cultist, sycophant are always amusing.

More Bob Hope.
Cute

Irrelevant, Bronze-Age, superstitious mythology.
Almost as meaningless as your uninformed political opinions.

PoliticalChick communicates brilliantly. She won't please Democrats who are so full of themselves they have no new arguments. All they have to offer is whining.

The Dinosaur Democrats are on the way out.

You can see lots of them in posts, unable to process what has happened.

Here's hoping for the re-birth of the old American Democrat Party.

Do we want those who held slaves on farms? Those who Lincoln defeated? Those who lived as the poor once Abe killed over 300,000 of them? What Democras would we want? Those like FDR who banned Jews from entering the USA at a time when had he let them in, he could have prevented the Holocaust? I am not a jew by the way. Do we want one who bombed a nation using the A bomb? What about the Democrats who rushed into South Korea lickety split? What about the Kennedy who along with his brother got shot to death? Somebody saw both as enemies and I hear a lot it was Johnson's men who did this.

I bailed out on those Democrats in time to elect Reagan. I say often that was the best president we ever had. Why move back to what did not work? Biden did not work either.

Fetterman may be MAGA's pet flavor of the week, but he has no future as a presidential candidate.

Fetterman is not my pet flavor of any year. Democrats are not my flavor at all. Not one of them belongs as the President. AOC should be kept in the dog pound.
