B-Man Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Claiming Trump is a cult leader is the latest newsroom fad by Becket Adams Original Article Certain members of the media need to get out more often. They are doing that thing again where they are all saying the exact same thing. The latest fad promoted by members of the commentariat involves alleging that Republicans and Trump supporters are members of a “cult.” Edgy stuff — almost as edgy as it was in 2016. “Increasingly, President Trump’s support seems cultish,” disgraced newsman Dan Rather said on Nov. 17 during an appearance on CNN’s ironically named Reliable Sources. .

Morning Rob. I understand those making fun of comparisons to Hitler. He was arguably the biggest monster to ever live. Donnie is a saint by comparison. Most that make fun of the comparison I believe get the point of the comparison but intentionally ignore it. Where the comparison makes sense is in Hitler's rise to power. Looking back, I am fascinated that he was seemingly able to hypnotize so many Germans and to convince them to willingly give up democracy in favor of a Hitler Dictatorship. History was never my best subject but it appears that the comparison holds up reasonably well when looking at 1930's Hitler. - He has declared a group to focus blame -He has declared the press to be the enemy -He lies blatantly to the people -He has clouded truth overall in this country -He has stated political opponents should be jailed -He has undermined confidence in other government organizations -He has built/commandeered a huge propaganda machine -etc Edited December 3, 2019 by Bob in Mich 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stalin and Mao each were thought to have killed more people than Hitler and the fact that information was throttled coming out of those nations only creates doubts as to lesser numbers killed. Further, Stalin and Mao had focuses for blame to energize the general population. Freedom of the press simply did not exist under Stalin and Mao. I would ask how Trump built a huge propaganda machine when much of media is very hostile towards Trump? Dictators have absolute control over 100 percent of the media in their nations which is definitely not the case with Trump.

This is a man who's lost his way badly because he's so desperate to virtue signal that he's better than others. Self absorbed, stoned, and stupid is no way to go through life.

What do Stalin or Mao's regimes have to do with Hitler and Donnie's comparison? Fox News is Trump's propaganda machine today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
