    The man is a Nazi plain and simple. America is in grave danger. Actually it has been ever since the monster took office.

    odd a few months ago the radical left was complaining because Trump wasn't using his office to force people to stay in their homes, now he's a Facist because he was holding a Bible in front of a Church that radical leftist terrorist just firebombed.....and oh look, you found a picture of Hitler holding a Bible....so it must be true.

    I've seen a lot of phony people, but Trump wins the prize again.

    In the videos, he isn't carrying that bible. I guess he had somebody else bring it along and hand it to him for the big show. Then he fumbled with it as it he wasn't sure which end was up. And does anyone actually believe that he's ever read a word of it? Has anyone ever seen him go to church on his own initiative, like for a simple Sunday service?

    He's trying to keep America's gullible and idiotic evangelicals on his side. I don't think he's fooling anyone with more than a couple of brain cells.

    Exactly. You just have to laugh at their hysterics and all the stupid little memes they always post like a bunch of preteens in their mommy's basement.

    I think the root of that is a lack of vocable and history knowledge.

    Fascism/nazism is a specific ideology.
    The original picture remind me of this meme
    [​IMG]

    Trump could be called :
    _ A demagogue
    _ A populist
    _ A manipulator
    _ A discord sower
    _ Corrupted

    Demagogue seems to be the best description of him. Almost all politicians are a demagogue to some degree.

    You're right, he isn't a nazi, but he does have aspirations to be a "strong man" dictator like the other two in the pictures. And his supporters are not just allowing it, they're applauding as he takes away their liberties and tears down our justice system brick by brick.

    Do you guys get paid every time you use a NAZI reference?

    By the way, the Hitler image is fake.

    Everyone has a purpose, even if only to serve as cautionary examples to others!

    He's a foul idiot and it was an idiotic photo op, but that doesn't make him a fascist. We need to be careful with words like that, lest we blunt the impact and diminish the importance when it actually applies.

    :roflol:

    Belated April Fool's?

    But seriously, if you want to see fascism, you don't need to look any farther than the US before Trump.

    And of course during and after.

    This fantasy that Trump is somehow a monster his predecessors weren't and that those who follow will not be...

    America before Trump also wasn't fascist. Righties should treat the word with some gravity, too. All you are doing is correctly criticizing a fantasy while spreading the exact same fantasy.

    Of course it was. The word is, was, and will be correct. Yes; no.

    The last 2 presidents we’ve had would qualify as war criminals by Nuremberg Trial standards, but oh yeah trump is Hitler.
    Don’t you folks grow tired of the stupid rhetoric?

    Keep trivializing the term to paint your political opponents in a bad light. I'll keep prioritizing a sliver of integrity over partisan dramaturgy.
