She's saying that Trump's rise parallels Hitler's because it takes advantage of certain political conditions, namely tribalism and division in contemporary American politics. That's it.

Looks like you caught on a little too late to name your thread properly though.

Don't think I can't quote you saying "I'm rooting for Donald Trump" just because you edited it out little man.

Rooting for Donald Trump to catalyze the destruction of the Republican party is one thing.

But then I remembered his entire campaign is everything that is wrong with politics and it really hurts everyone. Basically I wouldn't wish Donald Trump on my worst enemy.

Honestly I don't think 4 years of TRUMP would be much different from 4 years of GHWB

sad thing is this is probably true

still caucusing for TRUMP tho. The only one with even the theoretical possibility of being a human. If you're older than 18 and feel any other way you are one of the many who actually deserves his plastic fema coffin.

Well no, Captain Obvious, it looks like I ruffled your feathers and your ass is still hurting.

To give you a little grasp of what the writer was saying, she is pointing out that she understands how voters, much like you, can be so idiotic to give a vote for Trump. She's not very concerned about "tribalism" and a "division in contemporary American politics" as much as she is warning Americans of Trumps nationalism and populism , which I am not sure you understand anyway. You can't even comprehend the USA is a government by the people. So really, I am wasting my time on you. But if you think you have something intelligent to respond with, please do try. I love know it all like you.

Embarrassing.

NO what is embarrassing is your inability to grasp what those terms are getting at. Any dumbass can point and click at words, it takes someone with intelligence to understand those words.

Lurikeen insists he's a genius, despite the obvious contradiction - his post history
