    I figured as much. It was too coherent for a long sentence to be dementia donald.

    Well lets be honest Trump can’t form sentences that are this coherent. Yet people still somehow dig it. I understand the appeal of a charismatic leader with a strong rhetoric but Trump? Come on guys.

      I think a lot of people aren’t that coherent. They also just kind of wander from emotion to emotion, so Trump talks like they think.

      everything he says is laundered and repackaged through an army of spin doctors to make it seem more convincing and articulate.

      Hitler had Goebbels. one guy. with the rise of for profit, 24/7, ubiquitous social media, there’s now 10,000 Goebbels with their own podcast or content channel.

      and because these apologists and sane-washers get paid by tech companies (in advertising/ clicks) they have incentives to keep churning it out without any direct orders from a central authority - “Smash that subscribe button!, we got weekly hot takes on what glorious leader actually meant when he said ‘death to my enemies!’”

    Trump could never speak that well. And what was Hitler doing arresting Wisconsin judges?

        Thank you. That’s got some interesting further context too.

        Hitler delivered the speech in front of the Reichstag… right around the middle of World War II

        So it’s not in the lead up when Hitler ‘might’ have appeared good to more people: the way people often compare Trump these days.

        I myself am justified to refuse because since 1933 I have not taken three days’ leave — a fact which is probably not known to these individuals.

        Sounds just like what Trump might boast! Or how Musk justifies that people should work long hours!

        they are here for the nation, that is, the world, which includes Germany, must not decline in order that formal law may live, but Germany must live, irrespective of the contradictions of formal justice.

        (Emphasis mine.) That’s the worrying similarity that stood out to me most.

    I didn’t know it was Hitler but I knew after the first complete sentence that it wasn’t marmalade mussolini.

    Zero chance he’s ever said anything that coherent.

      Trump has people who can turn his demented ramblings into coherent texts so while this is certainly not something he’d come up with himself, it would be very in character for his administration.

        Yeah, I genuinely thought that it was a excerpt of a press release from his regime. It would certainly be fitting to something that they would release and attribute to him.

        At its most based level, this is fascism cliff notes plus dementia.

        The worst part is, that’s how the majority of my generation passed school, and since we’re almost the youngest, we have the most.

      “These crooked judges, who are never Trumpers, are CRIMINALLY GUILTY! Do you think, I have the best attorneys. They are really smart. They say to me, they say ‘Sir, how did you learn the law so much?’ You know I passed the bar? I could have been a lawyer. It’s true. We have the most wonderful law in the world and these ACTIVIST JUDGES think they are smarter than the American people?! I’m not allowed to say this because, you know, it’s not ‘politically correct’ but you know what I say? They are retards. Not very smart up there. I heard, you ready for this? Many of these lawyers only got into law school because their parents were, you know…DEI acceptance! That’s crazy! I will make the legal system proud again!”

    Hitler was a very good public speaker. Let’s give credit where credit is due.

    Trump on the other hand… Is not.

    The current trend in this comments section is full of praise for fucking Hitler for being better than Trump. And if there ever was a better reason to remove Trump from office I haven’t seen it.

    Absolute insanity. This time line is so fucked.

      That’s what’s so disappointing about the current fascist regime. I never doubted that fascism in America would be possible. I looked at Germany and Italy in the 1930s and thought:

      “Yeah, I suppose if there’s a powerful public speaker who is able to project strength, that could work. Even though by now everything Nazi is associated with evil, I can still appreciate how they were really good at “set design” to show the appearance of competence and power.”

      What I didn’t expect is that all the appearance of intelligence, competence and organization was all optional. Trump is clearly stupid, his lies are beyond obvious, his people are clearly not competent. His rallies don’t project strength. Instead of brownshirts in uniforms lined up in an orderly way, Trump has a chaotic gaggle of fat and/or old people wearing mismatched random American-flag based gear in a puddle near him. How is it that this is what Americans are falling for?

    If it were Trump, it would have said something more like:

    You know the judges? Have you heard about these judges? Nasty people, these judges. You’ve never seen such judges before. I will put a stop to these judges.

      The context is that judges are being removed so the people in power, like Hitler or Trump, can be above the law.

    I thought that sounded a bit too well spoken to be this fucking guy.

    Not that I mean to give anything remotely representing a compliment to that other guy, of course.
