When you guys talk about low information voters , what exactly do you mean because how can you not have heard about it if you actually listen to any media source that’s not completely biased ?

I talk more about misinformation voters. Voters who have been propagandized.

Trump isn’t a conservative but so-called conservatives cheer him on.

He is a moral reprobate yet so-called Christians cheer him on.

He believes in government interference over free markets yet so-called capitalists cheer him on.

Etc. ad nauseum . . .

Pretty sure many will cheer on whatever authoritarianism he decides we need as long as he keeps pretending to be a member of their party and, most importantly, they feel their enemies are suffering more than they are.

Agree.

And those that are following him blindly need to read up on post-WWI Germany and the rise of Hitler. I remember studying that period and wondering how in the world apparently normal German citizens and government officials could fall in line behind such a leader and movement.

Oh he could have instituted martial law and enacted nation wide lock downs, sealed the borders of states with large outbreaks, closed domestic mass transit. There are a multitude of things he could have done if he were an authoritarian.

That's been my take since the beginning of Trumpism.
We're seeing the answers to previously unanswerable historical questions play out live before our very eyes. It's been sadly fascinating.

I’m fairly certain that Trump doesn’t plan on killing Jews by the train load. I base that on his move of our Israel Embassy.

Now Planned Parenthood is doing a number on the AA population.....

Same can be said for the other side (D), too.

Both sides equally are sh**. So, basically, the majority of the voting public, is too.

Because they made the conservation about two sides. It was Nazis/fascists or commies. That nazis won that vote.

Same thing is happening here. The parties left the people two crap choices after physically chasing out every other game in town.

They turned the mantra into us vs them instead of what the party actually does. They cared more about the rhetoric and promises than results.

They chose the lesser evil.

Hitler was the "lesser evil?" Interesting take.

See the Covid thread.

Shutting down the nation.
Banning gatherings.
Requiring masks or vaccines.
Seizing means of production.
Setting prices.

The coronabros are on him daily that he should have done "more".

So,
He didn't shutdown travel outside the United States.
He didn't cancel his rallies.
He's not pushing for a vaccine and giving them Billions to produce it.
He didn't order GM to produce ventilators and other companies to make masks?

Yes, as a history major, it was expected that I have an adequate understanding of U.S. and world history.

Any other questions to divert from the parallel I drew between the rise of Hitler and our current political climate??

Doing what?
I actually googled it and still don't really know what you are getting at.
I saw a couple of Fox news stories, something from Blaze, and one thing from the Federalist.
Nothing recent from any legitimate news source.

Yes how can you not know / understand the way a group that followed Hitler was compatible to the Democratic Party following the slavery philosophy? How does a history major see a Cuban refugee giving first hand knowledge escaping socialism / communism , a part of your party’s active political agenda - Bernie Sanders / AOC/ ANTIFA / defunding the police / doing away with prisons / Free health for everyone / free education for everyone ) and come away in your words as spreading fear ? Im sure I can come up with more but that a full plate I just handed you so ... I digress .
