They deserve the candidate they ran with

they might but the rest of us don't

Roxy? Noooo… she don’t have to put up a red light. 😭

They're afraid of his base.

That statement kind of elides the whole electoral and legislative structure of the Weimar Republic at the time, though. It was a parliamentary system (whose legislative body was - and was again, after the fall of the Third Reich - the Reichstag). So in point of fact, though the NSDAP (the Nazi Party) received a plurality of the votes in the WR’s last three elections, nobody “voted for Hitler”. So the analogy of political tribalism being leveraged by a fascist party with a fascist cult-of-personality head actually holds up a good bit better than the numbers you present here might lead one to assume.

It’s fair to point out that the NSDAP sort of formed around Hitler, where as the GOP (“Weimar” Republicans? Might have to start using that as a sneaky jab in conversation, hah) was subsumed by Trumpism, but all he really did was to turn the quiet parts of their platform up to 11 and emphasize populist and tribal (not as in “First Nation”) sentiments. However, I’d argue that that makes the GOP/Trump combination a good bit more insidious than the NSDAP - especially considering how much the GOP loves to lean on the technically-true-but-deeply-misleading line of “we’re the party that ended slavery”, since it utterly ignores the ideological shift of the party over the intervening 160 or so years.

Note: absolutely none of this should be construed in any way as Nazi apologia. It is simply a technical clarification on the system of government and the electoral and leadership-selection mechanics that existed in the Weimar Republic at the time.

Kind of scary to think if we had parliamentary type elections Trump has a dedicated 35. There may be a larger coalition of liberal parties still but this election wouldn't be the moratorium of Trump as we hope it turns out. Him and his party would win a substantial amount of seats.

Then you see the example Macron in France just set. Overwhelming liberal victory and he's handing the PM spot to a very old, homophobic conservative.

Most people don't realize this. You might enjoy this book:

Takeover: HITLER'S FINAL RISE TO POWER

It's frightening to realize how the nazis were barely clinging to power and almost disappeared before becoming dominant. We're right there now.

They’re just jealous we dropped our geriatric candidate and they couldn’t.

to be honest the GOP lost the chance to be free of Trump when their senators refused to convict him after the Jan 6 impeachment.

They could have been free of him. they could have put this party above their own personal power. but nope. They chose this. They chose him over america.

They chose an insurrectionist asshole. a misogynist. a racist. a rapist. a bigot in every way. A geriatric fascist prick.

which, all this besides, Trump could back out any time he wanted to. just like Biden did. But that also would put America before his own personal power.

TL/DR:

THEY DESERVE EACH OTHER

Lmao, WHAT‽

So, you don't remember January 6, 2021?

everyone is overcomplicating this imo. in the context of the last 3.5 years, clearly this is just trump saying democrats will "steal" every future election if he doesn't win this year.

Ok, traitor.
