"There's something going on." -Donald Trump. Trump: We need to single out a specific religion to blame and ban. We need to create suspicion that there's a conspiracy to undermine the nation. We need a strong leader willing to break the rules for the sake of the ethnic majority. Narrator: Adolf Hitler disappeared in 1945. Donald Trump appeared in 1946. Coincidence? Somebody should look into it.

“We have no choice.”, Donald Trump. Spoken by dictators throughout history. DT wants to eliminate choice not just for women, but for all Americans.

Comparing any modern day politician to Hitler is ignorant and just trying to spread hate of voices different than your own.

I know of no conservative pundits who have called Trump a neo-Nazi, but a neo or proto-Fascist? Yes, and not limited to George Will, either!

Trump’s conspiracy theory catchphrase. He uses “there’s something going on” to insinuate a conspiracy or to trigger feelings of paranoia and fear in his audience and followers without ever having to provide specifics. Those are filled in by right-wing hate media and the listener. That is how Toles used his own phrase against him: “There’s something gong on” He never said Trump was Hitler.. YOU connected those dots. He’s doing exactly what Trump did with the gun massacre in Orlando. “There’s something going on” and you cry Muslim, or immigrants, or Godwin.

A Trump Rally in Greensboro “Anger in here is palpable”in which a sane man live tweets insanity
Trump event like a security state. Just watched a girl get denied for being “too alternative.”
There’s an ungodly amount of extremely drunk people here.Just got told I don’t “look right.”
I don’t like Hitler comparisons but that was positively like Nuremburg rally level crazy.
There’s a protestor next to me and he’s scared to death
Crowd threatening protestor before he acts
Crowd member just shouted “gays had it coming”
Bragging that he took credentials from WA Post. Crowd yells Kill them all.
I feel so terrible for the children here.
Fight fights, shoving matches every few minutes
Trump comparing immigrants to snakes
Trump’s speech has gone completely off the rails. Bragging about debate wins. Defeating Bush.
Says Clinton presidency would take crowd’s guns, lusty boos, mysogynistic screamsCrowd calls for Berghdal to be shot, hung
Calls Elizabeth Warren Pocahontas, says he was asked to apologized, will only apologize to Pocahontas. Guy next to me does a war dance
Confederate flags everywhere
This is just soul crushingly awful
So much casual racism, misogyny, homophobia, and just plain ugliness.
Cops finally cleared this horror show. Trump has to be defeated but I don’t know how you stamp out all this hate and cruelty.

I agree the left does not have any ideas and do not understand the complicated ideas that Trump is proposing. What d they not get about building a wall or banning Muslims.

Twenty minutes before closing time, and no one has answered my questions of 14 hours ago. I am beginning to think that this Godwin is just a Reich-wing fiction – one of many, and God is not winning here.
