Shook this comparison has never been brought up before

[joeysteele]

I don't think there is anything childish at all in the OP.

Adam has presented a comparison that shows 2 leaders who won power and who are united in what appears to be divisive and confrontational rhetoric.

It alarms me that the USA could elect this apparent loose cannon,I hope parts of the World and some nationalities of the World don't suffer as a result..
However I have strong doubts as to that.

There's one major difference between them though, and that's Hitler was loved by the majority of his people at the time who was for alot of those radical thoughts from Hitler, where as Trump didn't even get the vote of the people but instead a rigged system in their favour as small rural States in America always go for Republican.

My point being that the people will not accept those ideas from Trump.

Thanks Joey.

I nearly forgot for a second just how crazy SD is on here.

[Livia]

They have the same number of eyes, don't forget. That comparison is just about as valid as the rest of the "comparisons".

There was an explosion of indignation on here when I used the term "red Nazis" to describe some old school Labourites, a term that had been used widely in the press. Those same people think this is a fair comparison though.

Adam made this thread only pointing out similarities of style and rhetoric.
Which a fair few have overall agreed with,myself included and I do think raised a valid issue as to these 2 men coming to near absolute power.

Since you raise it, your red nazi comment was directed at a whole body of people on a particular side of politics you have no time for.

This is merely a thread highlighting the similarities of divisiveness and confrontational style of just these 2 men as seen by threadmaker and his OP.
He is not saying all Republicans or those who vote for him are tarred with the same brush.
As you did when you termed 'those on the left', not a few,not some but 'those on the left',as being red Nazis.

Thank you... The term I used has been skewed completely and used to create a massive furore over nothing.

I am not getting into this as the mods deemed the post bad enough to be removed from the forum
So be careful.

I am sure the mods still have it and as I recall,with deliberate omission of the words few or some.
The charge was 'those on the left who are Jewish hating,terrorist supporting red nazis'.

Offensive in any event whether even just meant as to a few or some anyway.

Your view as to that,not mine.
Then again you are the one who voluntarily chose to use such terms in that post.
None of which were used by Adam in his OP on this thread.

That's a lot of words for someone not getting into it. And the mods tend to delete posts that have been reported.

Anyway, time you got over a comment made by someone and NOT aimed at you.

Adam's my friend... I'm sure he'll be okay with my comments on this thread.

I never reported that post but it was removed.

You could have in your wording.made it clear you meant no one on.here,if you really did not.

Good for you that Adam is your friend, he is a good friend to have as indeed you can be too.
That does not alter the offensiveness of the comments you.raised again as to that post.

However last year taught me to keep peace as best as can be.
I accept now you did not mean me or others on here directly,which you have made clear in the above post.
I wish you well Livia.

Good point too.
It's the rhetoric that seems to have some alarming similarities.
The Nationalistic divisive uncompromising tone of same.

The World is always a fragile place but I fear Trump's antagonistic style is likely to bring things down even more.
I'd love to be proven wrong however and see his power curbed strongly from the USA governing bodies.

thats because the world is a teensy wee bit more than your recollections

“Barry Goldwater’s Rise is Compared to Rise of Hitler,” announced Jet magazine on July 30, 1964.
Richard Nixon was often compared to Hitler by his Democratic rival George McGovern. And then it’s been passed down to Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush. It’s become a trend among Republican presidents, to have the Democratic challengers compare them to the fascist leader.

“This happens every time a major Republican comes on the scene,” said Joe Scarborough, co-host of MSNBC’s Morning Joe, when discussing the NYT piece.

Its insulting to every Jew on the planet and frankly demeans this section of the site, its sad and childish.

I wish you well also. To be honest, I was upset to acknowledge that a five year friendship with what I thought was respect both ways, ended, and I never really knew what I had done. Water under the bridge.

I still hold respect for you, I learned so much from you while at Uni and afterwards too.
I never forget things like that.

Ironically you guided me to be careful how I said things on here and not to appear to generalise.

Life is too short to hold grudges and really argue, time really does matter.

Lol at the total hypocrisy on this thread. With regard to your last sentence what is the difference between those on the right being called bigots and racists by many on here but if someone makes a passing comment about those on the left that they find offensive there is an apparent meltdown.

Talk about dishing it out but not being able to take it.. Not you personally but I don' see you being so shocked or complaining about that.

Actually I do complain about it.
I have never ever supported any calling of the right racists.

Also too particularly when Nigel Farage and indeed others in UKIP are called racist I dispute that too and always have during my over 6 years on here.
Which I think most on here know that too.

So perhaps try to make sure if possible your facts are right before you nitpick at people.

Livia did not mean her statement the way it seemed and she is also someone who guided me not to jump in and generalise on here when I joined at 18.
I have endeavoured to follow that good advice ever since.

I had a sig that was the ex PM waving...it looked a bit like a nazi salute..you asked for it to be removed, indignation? :/

trump has more similarities with Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan, than Hitler, Corbyn has more similarities with Fidel Castro and Mikhail Gorbachev than Pol Pot and Joseph Stalin,

Some people on here get some strange ideas. A thread created for effect I think - total rubbish of course.

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

Forget an outsider murdering him-Melania will probably do it. I've seen people evaluate their icy body language. He belittles her and she just looks sad and angry and confused. Plus Barron disrespects her. Insert the failed high five gif here
