Putting Trump aside, you can argue that someone is a fascist like Hitler was a fascist without insulting Jews. Hitler was both a fascist and a genocidal murderer. Rampant nationalism and scapegoatism are parts of fascism even if 6 million aren’t killed.

I don’t think anybody seriously compared Trump to Hitler and some of the terms are short hands to suggest the drift towards autocratic, nationalistic tendencies which are real.

Good post. There are many unacceptable actions that we have seen in North America. Two that come to mind are the Reform Schools that the Indigenous People of Canada were subjected to, another would be the internment of Japanese citizens during WW2. Trumps antics will be added to these regretable parts of North American history. Luckily he will be gone soon.

America is just as guilty, if not more, when it comes to injustices committed against native North Americans.

Actually Zezel: If you know your history, the comparison is quite offensive. Remember that over six million Jews (civilians not military personnel) were totured, robbed of their wealth and murdered. Trump's crimes pale in comparison. Anyone that has a personal connection gets pissed off when comparisons to that architect of attempted genocide are made. As a note for those not aware, the Jewish population of the planet has still not recovered or reached its pre WW2 levels.

That's your take. A couple Jews I just asked this said they would like it if people pointed out that Trump's authoritarian impulses and the characteristics of his politics are racist, anti-truth, nationalistic and so on, and that this is very much like Hitler. So in making the comparison, it is pointing out the characteristics of fascism, that we might not forget them and in calling them out we prevent another Hitler. In this sense it honours the Holocaust. But certainly the term should open up this dialogue, not just be used lightly.

Agree on the similarities. Good post Zezel. The inauguration will be a monumental party for many, even if it won't be publicly attended.

Yes it's true. Not something that is talked about much. The last one closed in Canada in 1996

They pretty much have to play Tellez and Kirk, since they only have one other LH

Maybe another reason to chase Lindor or Lemahieu

Good for you bud. You will probably have a better time. Winter sucks up here, but it’s incredibly mild for this time of year to be honest. Backasswards 2020.

A link would be incredible for techshabby guys like me. Thanks in advance

I was in Washington for Reagan’s inauguration and watched the parade. It was like a coronation, very weird vibe.

Unfortunately, I think Trump is going to hold a counter inauguration and it will be public and he’ll keep pushing his ugly agenda even after Biden is sworn in.

74 million voted for someone they knew was going to continue to enact racist policies. They wanted and still want more.

i have a very bad feeling for the next decade or so...

theres too much irons in the fire of chaos now, somethings gotta give.

covid will be a small footnote in the grand scheme of things. i hope im wrong, im not a someone who wants bad things to happen.

Trump is going to stir poop up until it boils over.

It's possible, I'm hoping some of the cowards in the Republican party stop worrying about offending Trump and admit defeat. I believe the state legal proceedings against Trump and his family will begin the minute he's out of the white house.
