President-elect Trump is no nazi. He is something else altogether- 70 years worth is ‘in the books’ for all to see.
What the ‘nazis for Trump’ can truly expect is that Sam and Col. Hogan and the rest of us are gonna keep on laughing at them and following the Constitution- for as long as it takes – until
‘the movement’ goes extinct.
It would be nice if Mr. Trump and moral gun enthusiasts would speak out in order to speed things along. Uncle Sam can be a tad impatient on certain subjects.
Lately Disney’s “In der Fürher’s Face” has been an earworm. Back then (1940) we thought it, “The Great Dictator”, etc. were funny. By mid ’40s, we realized the unfunny part. Trump supporters may not have studied much history, but their armories are large and their ammunition real, and people will be subjugated, or die preventing it. Living through it once is enough (with a near repeat in the ’50-60s). Never again.
Isn’t that funny, having been exposed to Castro’s, Allende, Stalin, Guevara, Chavez and a host of others, I ask myself the same question, how can those countries fall for it, same socialist rhetoric. In Germany that old pig had its lips painted with svasticas, in the Soviet union with hammer and sicle, and now in the US and Canada with a new tittle “GLOBALISM” yet still the same “lets take from the rich, and pretend to give to the poor” Take that away from the socialists and they are nothing.
In the end, there is nothing original or unique about Trump’s populism. His massive conflicts of interest; his reliance on racism and clientelism, rather than ideological coherence, to maintain his political base; his embrace of a narrative of victimization and hostility to independent journalists (and comedians); his crude mocking and intimidation of opponents: all are familiar to electorates in Europe, Latin America, and elsewhere. What is new is that this style of politics is coming to power in the world’s largest economy and, for the last seven decades, its main guarantor of global order and stability.
That is why we must not fool ourselves about Trump, or permit efforts to normalize his administration – whether by his allies, his weakened domestic opponents, or a pliant press – to go unchallenged. As Palacio puts it, “clinging to optimism – the belief that things will end well – is pointless.” Damage will be done – at home and abroad – by Trump’s election, because damage already has been done. “Instead,” Palacio says, “we must find grounds for hope – the belief that things will eventually make sense.” And “the only way to do that is to be honest with ourselves and take a sober look at what we can and must do to ensure the most that can be achieved.”

I just hope this revival isn’t set in a concentration camp. (We know the producer of this show doesn’t like people who were in POW camps.)

Stop trying to make us Conservatives look like Democrats. No one w/ half a brain & common sense will believe it. This BS is getting old.
