Don’t forget disabled people. Don’t forget prisoners of war (President Donald likes people that weren’t captured, even though he was a draft dodger and no one in the Trump lineage has ever served). I don’t want to be one of those that plays the “Hitler card” too flippantly (Trump is actually more similar to Mussolini), and I’m not saying “The Donald” Trump would make the leap from mass deportations to mass genocide but, hey, dehumanizing targeted minorities, mass deportations, building walls, silencing journalists, promising to make the trains run on time….Where have I heard all that before? We don’t have to play the “Hitler card.” “The Donald” already played the “Trump Card.” When the stepsister of Anne Frank, who does not make such comparisons lightly, comes out and warns about the similarities between Trump and Hitler, then the wolf is really there and it is not “crying wolf” or “playing the Hitler card” — it is now a matter of staring down the dangerous, growling beast and taking action to stop it.

For so many years I wondered how Germany, one of the most advanced industrial civilizations of its time, could have been taken over by a crazed, lunatic, extremist madman..The present election cycle has opened my eyes as to how such a thing could occur..Will the United States rise above what the German society acquiesced to?
The point is, the right wingers want to have power over you and they will let nothing stop them. They want a plantation for you and the freedom to enslave you. Think of how the Payday Lenders concentrate on soldiers, they want you beholden to the company store with no chance of escape from their greedy claws.
Think Of Nixon and Reagan working Huac to destroy left wing careers. They have that same mind set today with Trump, are you now or have you ever been a Muslim?
martens is REALLY fed upSome of us still do – despite all the evidence to the contrary. The same lyricist who wrote You’ve Got to Be Taught, also wrote Cockeyed Optimist – for the same show.
Trump’s poll ratings in a historic holeWith most voters viewing him as ‘strongly unfavorable,’ his image is harder to repair than Hillary’s.
In 2016’s race to the bottom, Donald Trump is going to find out if you can become president when two-thirds of Americans don’t like you — and a majority can’t stand you.
Trump is setting modern records for political toxicity — at least for a major-party candidate this far out from an election. Seventy percent of Americans surveyed in an ABC News/Washington Post poll out this week had an unfavorable opinion of Trump, up 10 points over the past month. The poll showed Trump’s favorable rating cratering at 29 percent, down from 37 percent last month.
A friend born in Austria told of how as a girl she also cheered Hitler when he arrived. She later, after the war, married an American soldier. It isn’t just the arrival of Trump that raises the red flag for her, it’s been waving about the “new right” for some time. (Like Cheney, Rumsfeld et al)
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) renewed her assault on “thin-skinned racist bully” Donald Trump on Saturday, calling on Democrats to take a stand against the likely GOP nominee.
“Every day we learn more about him, and every day it becomes clearer that he is just a small, insecure money-grubber who doesn’t care about anyone or anything that doesn’t have the Trump name splashed all over it,” Warren said during a speech at the New Hampshire Democratic convention, according to The Associated Press.
