Same Authoritarian Playbook, Different Decade

[u/JustVenom____]

[u/Slow-Sky5043]

If you read into history deep enough, you would realize hitler was not a smart man at all, just an individual who talks loud and people cheer him. Same applies to Trump

[u/Miserable_Ad9577 → u/Slow-Sky5043]

Charismatic enough to be presented as a figure that persuaded them to do horrible things. When in reality, they all just been itching to do what they did, they just need a plausible excuse to do it. All they needed was a focal point to channel their hates.

[u/pullcounterr → u/Slow-Sky5043]

For some reason, it feels like those who end up in the position of power in the stronger nations, are always not the most intelligent. It reminds me of a movie I watched when I was younger called John Carter. I mean I am not well versed in politics at all, but when I hear that guy in the office talk, it seems like he is trying to manipulate and use patriorchy to sway poeple towards his beliefs. I find it insane that all of those people in the crowds don't see through that. I mean, I know immigrants who whole heartedly supported him. It's insane..

[u/roulettewiz → u/pullcounterr]

Same goes for leadership of companies 😂

[u/pullcounterr → u/roulettewiz]

Absolutely. It reminds me of the book the 48 laws of power where it spoke about always playing dumber than your master and you really notice that pattern a lot in movies, books etc. The boss is always the @$$hole id1ot while the person directly below them is always the smarter person.

[u/CanUHearMeNau → u/Slow-Sky5043]

Like any leader they are figureheads of a regime of many people. 

[u/AdFrequent6315 → u/Slow-Sky5043]

Hell watch the first episode of World at War, the Germany one, and listen to the contemporary views of Hitler at the time. Its nearly 1:1 what with Trump.

[u/Glittering_Nobody402]

If I understand correctly from what the magat bots are saying, if she committed fraud she should be held accountable.

But you're not allowed to bring up Dementia Donnie's fraud that he was not held accountable for.

If she lied, she should be stripped of her citizenship.

But you have TDS if you bring up Dementia Donnie's lies.

Very simply put: magats want to lecture everyone about the crimes they commit. The double standards and hypocrisy.

[u/The-real-Arisen → u/Glittering_Nobody402]

Hey, if you don't allow them their double standards, they wouldn't have any standards at all. That's unfair.

[u/MorkDurk → u/Glittering_Nobody402]

They can't even understand that being in a country illegally isn't even considered a Criminal act, it's a civil infraction. But their boy definitely is a criminal

[u/rage-it → u/MorkDurk]

They can't understand that simply being an immigrant doesn't make someone an illegal unless of course it's their cult leader's wife who lied on her visa and worked inside the US illegally.. (Elon did that as well)

[u/PoursTea-ModTeam → u/[deleted]]

Language and etiquette.

[u/W01dr]

Learning from history is crucial. I think electing more history professors would be an enormously good investment for 'we the people'.

[u/Allegedly412 → u/W01dr]

In what way is “Nazis strip citizenship from ‘undesirables’” in any way shape or form similar to “woman who’s had allegations of immigration fraud for a decade gets investigated”? How would being a history professor change that at all?

[u/manateefourmation]

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

[u/sharkbomb]

and the worst cotus in american history is fulfilling their oaths by doing what about this? 

[u/Akkerlun]

[u/rage-it]

Just a side note Israel today does the same thing to Arabs. They refuse to allow anyone in Gaza or the West Bank to obtain passports despite Israel claiming they have the right to control both areas and block statehood for booth.

While Trump is a cosplay Hitler, The Zionist are full on Nazi and both Democrats and Republicans in this country support them.

I want to go a bit more on that. Israel will allow them to get a passport if they leave Gaza or the west bank but wil then refuse them re-entry, so it's the same as not having one in the end. So they'll glady let them leave but they have no right to return. but some pedophile from New Jersey who never stepped foot on the land can come right over so long as he's Jewish and white enough. (no new Arab Jews or Black Jews allowed)

[u/winei001 → u/rage-it]

If Israel were to unilaterally impose citizenship on all residents of the West Bank and Gaza, it would in practice mean annexation of the disputed territories.

According to the international community, Israel may not unilaterally annex the disputed territories without the consent of Israel, the UN and the Palestinian Authority.

[u/unkownascendant]

“Never again” was all i heard growing up, and seeing it unfold before my eyes drives me to such shame and fury.

[u/unkownascendant → u/[deleted]]

? Bruh even my own country fills me with shame and our leaders keep pretending to have a spine only to get on their knees for daddy trump behind closed doors

[u/Horror_Quantity_4654]

For all the confused folks out there, when the President repeatedly says I want this person investigated and charged and then the government investigates and charges them, that’s fascism.

In any normal administration, the president wouldn’t say anything and the DOJ would determine if there’s a crime to investigate.

This administration is just constantly putting the cart before the horse. That’s why they keep losing in court over and over again. Thankfully the justice system is holding up.

I’m betting someone will say but that’s what happened to Trump. Did it though? Did Biden repeatedly say Trump needs to be investigated and charged? Or is that some bad revisionist history you were sold to obscure from the fact that Trump committed crimes and then the DOJ investigated those crimes while adhering to the norms of past administrations? Hint: it’s the latter

[u/ramencents → u/Horror_Quantity_4654]

That’s why I think most of these cases get dismissed. The lawyers know these cases are garbage.

[u/yomamaslover → u/Horror_Quantity_4654]

Lol. No that is not what fascism is. Holy s***

[u/Unique_Driver_900 → u/Horror_Quantity_4654]

I’m sure the illegal FISA wiretaps under Obama must have slipped your mind?

[u/WideResolution9551]

Im worried that democrat victories this midterm will make Trump & Cronies even more unhinged . There’s no telling what new lows they’ll stoop to when they think they have nothing more to lose

[u/MechaCoqui → u/WideResolution9551]

Well given how they responded with the 2020 results, they more then likely will either stage a coup again or cause a horrible event themselves and use that as an excuse for refusing to leave congress.

They know they are screwed if dems take the House. No way Dems don’t investigate all of them, ties to Epstein, corruption and so on. Cause exposing that stuff would easily keep Congress blue, for years.

[u/MetaCardboard → u/WideResolution9551]

Go vote blue. The only way to stop this without violence is to put Democrats in power.

[u/el_grort → u/WideResolution9551]

It would castrate him domestically but that might mean he causes more international damage, which is scary as someone outside the US.

[u/NugsFolly]

Never Forget seems to have, well, been completely forgotten. To those whom the information is freely accessible too 🥺

[u/Hopeful-Laugh-899]

What an ignorant comparison.

[u/Cyborg_rat → u/Hopeful-Laugh-899]

Yep, those who up play misgendering....Down playing the Holocaust to almost nothing.

[u/Pleasant_Studio9690]

I’m trans. They’ll be coming for us, too. Fuck this country.

[u/Hamster_S_Thompson → u/Pleasant_Studio9690]

Get over yourself. Nobody cares. Stop this attention seeking nonsense.

[u/Surive123]

According to the analog, you’ve skipped a few steps

[u/Warrmak]

Even if she's guilty, doing witch hunts and prosecuting political opposition is a bad look for a freedom loving democracy.

[u/Apprehensive-Alps938]

I don't think the Germans & Jews were defrauding the German government for billions of dollars . Let's try comparing apples to apples.

[u/Contemplating_Prison → u/Apprehensive-Alps938]

The only people defrauding the country are trump and his family who have all 10x their jet worth in the last year.

[u/Tactrix1]

I'm happy because I know exactly where this road leads. It leads to all the Nazi's being executed. Remember that.

[u/PingasTV]

Cringe

[u/Mysterious-Bid-9071]

Wow some people are really stupid. One example is a group the other example is an individual. In the case of individuals it is common practice to seize a passport if they are a Flight Risk

[u/elfmere]

Trump's parents were immigrants.. his birthright citizenship?
Yeah she wasn't born here but just wondering about trump

[u/liud21]

Wow, some common sense comments here, the Russian bots are back?

[u/Diablo689er]

Now do gun control

[u/Queasy_Marsupial_835 → u/Diablo689er]

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

[u/Germerican1]

I guess we skipped the knight of long knives where the Republicans assassinated all their political opponents in federal and state government and burned the businesses of prominent Democrats? Cause that happened 4 years before the passport and deportation issue. 

[u/sinpajaroazul]

Too many bots still left, ukraine need to blow up a few more data centers

[u/WorldsGreatestActor]

[u/yupsidetown]

Land of the free. If you’re white.

[u/Thirdwhirly]

Lot of folks in this thread I’d hate to have as neighbors in 1938.

[u/Geico22]

So now democrats dont believe in investigations and holding people accountable.... accountability is nazi behavior now? ... god this app sucks

[u/_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_I]

Ahh yes millions of Jewish citizens losing their rights/citizenship is comparable to an individual being investigated for potential fraud.

The Left is utterly pathetic thinking it's even comparable. If they have to reach this far you know they've lost the argument.

[u/Anomynous__]

Don't forget, Omar was being investigated under the Biden administration

[u/ProteanSurvivor → u/Anomynous__]

For something completely different and it was dropped because of lack of evidence. You forgot to mention that part

[u/BD_McShwizzle_stixs → u/ProteanSurvivor]

Appreciate you adding that context. What was she being investigated for that time? How many times has she been investigated for illegal acts only to have it dropped without enough evidence?

[u/greennurse61 → u/ProteanSurvivor]

Huh? That Biden investigation just produced a search warrant. 

[u/ProteanSurvivor → u/greennurse61]

What are you talking about?

[u/Eplerud → u/Anomynous__]

and search warrant was approved by a democrat judge

[u/teacher_59 → u/Eplerud]

He's a DINO so they makes him signing a Republican crime. 

[u/Mother_Village9831 → u/Anomynous__]

Shhhhh that's inconvenient to the narrative.

[u/elliotcook10 → u/Mother_Village9831]

What was the investigation for? And what were the results? Talk about inconvenient to the narrative lol

[u/BringBackTheBlues → u/Mother_Village9831]

Well no. It’s just irrelevant to the conversation. There was a probe into questions about her campaign finances.

That’s quite different than raiding her house, claiming she’s a criminal with no evidence, and calling for her deportation. It was dropped after no evidence was found to justify continuing the probe.

Can you explain what the relevance is?

[u/AnewTest → u/Anomynous__]

And the investigation was dropped from lack of evidence.

[u/AacornSoup]

In the professional business this is called a Non-Sequitur Ad-Hominem.

[u/Creative-Homework-56 → u/AacornSoup]

You tried to sound smart

[u/Glittering_Nobody402 → u/AacornSoup]

In the real world rapists and felona get prison.

[u/Particular_Ad_4694 → u/Glittering_Nobody402]

I think your comment is also a non-sequitur

[u/Healthy-Fee-9469 → u/Glittering_Nobody402]

In the real world, people know how to spell

[u/ABC_Family → u/Glittering_Nobody402]

Unless the case is thrown out of court for lack of evidence

[u/Illustrious-Aside442 → u/Glittering_Nobody402]

They absolutely don’t if they have enough money.

[u/INFANTRYBOSS]

It is not the same thing she committed fraud get over it

[u/IndividualFar6408]

This is such a gross comparison. If she committed immigration fraud she should be punished. Additionally, nobody can tell me her financial records look right.

And before a bunch of start talking about Trump, yes all crimes should be punished, including his.

[u/Infamous_JRG → u/IndividualFar6408]

All right so let's start with punishing trumps bitch ass

[u/GanacheSufficient292 → u/Infamous_JRG]

See, all about Ttump excusing everyone else.

[u/boforbojack → u/IndividualFar6408]

I personally don’t feel that I should lift one finger of support for a judicial system where power and money control selective prosecution. Also, I don’t trust a single thing coming from the current DHS. An “investigation” is not valid until it is proven in a court of law.

And finally, what immigration fraud do you think she committed when she was 12 years old?

[u/AnAnonymous121 → u/IndividualFar6408]

Melania also committed immigration fraud, and came to work in the USA without proper work auth. But we'll overlook that, i suppose

[u/Jreinhal → u/AnAnonymous121]

You’re just going to conveniently skip over the part where they said Trump should be held accountable as well? Typical

[u/bombastic6339locks → u/AnAnonymous121]

I too love arguing in bad faith and having the world comprehension of a 2 year old. Never was it implied we'll overlook the crimes of someone else but three dimensional thinking can be hard with a dented head.

[u/tiggertom66 → u/bombastic6339locks]

It’s impossible to take anything this administration says seriously.

I can’t accept their claims at face value because if they’re pursuing Omar for this, they should’ve been pursuing Melania years ago.

So until they provide some substantial evidence, what reason should the American people trust them?

[u/C21H27Cl3N2O3 → u/IndividualFar6408]

She didn’t commit immigration fraud. This is the third investigation into this same thing. She has yet to be prosecuted. This is the “lawfare” Republicans have complained about for years.

[u/ProteanSurvivor → u/IndividualFar6408]

What’s wrong with her financial records? Her husband is very successful

[u/Separate-Relative547 → u/ProteanSurvivor]

No

How dare you say that both sides could be a problem and punished if they did wrong on Reddit.

[u/teh_hotdogman → u/IndividualFar6408]

people not understanding everyone can get some justice is always funny

[u/One-Masterpiece-335 → u/IndividualFar6408]

The "for or against" mentality prevails here. Good luck in reddit with logic or pointing out *all* hte corruption. The truth is no well connected politician on the left or right ever goes to jail. A lot of fanfare exists to keep us plebs on the edge of our seats thinking that any day now the political problems will just fix themselves.

[u/DrPepperFanX → u/IndividualFar6408]

Can we kick out Elon too while we're at it? Melania also got here through suspect means...

[u/Round-Arugula7347 → u/IndividualFar6408]

You’d rat out Anne Frank. The only reason you think this is because they’re telling you to, you’re an embarrassment

[u/Hamster_S_Thompson → u/IndividualFar6408]

I've always voted dem because the alternative was even worse but nonsense like this just gets my blood boiling. They always pick some frindge idea to defend or in this case a very likely crooked person instead of dealing with real issues. If the Dems insist on importing all 3rd world problems rather than solving our own, people will elect fascists and then we will have an even bigger problem.

[u/BearCub254]

How are we comparing a whole group to one person? Lol. This is insane and why nobody takes you people seriously. So because some crazy shit happened in the 1930s we should never investigate any fraud by a minority or what? Only Democrats should be allowed to investigate? Please.

[u/Conscious-Cookie164 → u/BearCub254]

Woah now, this is Reddit, what’s with the common sense?

[u/Bleak_Kiss → u/BearCub254]

Ironically, this investigation started under Democrats.

[u/Glass_Emu_5104 → u/BearCub254]

Insane. Why are we investigating Omar and not Trump, holy f balls.

[u/succulentverde → u/Glass_Emu_5104]

Hi Minnesotan here, most of us on the ground are very FOR Omar having a close look taken at her and her family... who turns out likely assisted the former Somali regime in committing war atrocities. You don't know yet what you don't know.

The timing thing is a norm, dems have previously violated too, in Minnesota we'd rather just see her not representing our state and if she's elected then we get someone not appointed by a group who are looking more and more like be committed RICO level conspiracy for funding and jobs (politicians DFL and nonprofits plus u of mn policy and law schools and other areas schools complicit)

[u/BearCub254 → u/Glass_Emu_5104]

Democrats can investigate him when they get back. I do not understand what that has got to do with her being investigated? If you prevent her investigation then any investigation of Trump will look political (we are only allowed to investigate white people). Anyone who is suspected of a crime should be investigated. Omar will go before a jury and defend herself. 

[u/Additional_Park3542]

I know I gonna get down voted to hell but she openly commit fraud to grain citizenship which is not only a federal offense but also deportable/ground for it to be revoked

[u/Thirdwhirly → u/Additional_Park3542]

Hey, no she didn’t.

[u/Procrasturbating → u/Additional_Park3542]

She was a child refugee.. she did not commit fraud. This is an ACTUAL witch hunt.

[u/Critical-Web8544 → u/Additional_Park3542]

Proof reading your post is essential

[u/C21H27Cl3N2O3 → u/Additional_Park3542]

She allegedly committed fraud. And yet she was investigated under both the Trump and Biden administration and neither found enough evidence to bring charges.

Musk has admitted to committing visa fraud. When is his investigation and deportation?

[u/millos15 → u/C21H27Cl3N2O3]

He is white and rich though

[u/iwilldoitalltomorrow → u/C21H27Cl3N2O3]

I would love to see Musk deported lol

[u/iwilldoitalltomorrow → u/Additional_Park3542]

What’s the evidence?

[u/Dependent_Amount6825 → u/Additional_Park3542]

Her father was the one that did the paperwork. Because she was a child. This alleged “fraud” is nothing more than a paperwork error if anything at all.

[u/BiscuitsTheory → u/Additional_Park3542]

Have you ever wondered WHY you get downvoted every time you make a claim without evidence or have you just decided it's because of "haters"?

[u/OverallCup8459]

What a privilege it is to compare trump to hitler and face no consequences. Kind of the opposite of nazi germany I guess.

[u/ProteanSurvivor → u/OverallCup8459]

Remember when Vance called Trump Hitler?

[u/AnewTest → u/OverallCup8459]

People have been shot in the street for doing less than calling Trump Hitler.

[u/CantaloupeFluffy165]

[u/Appropriate_Pop_5849 → u/OT_Militia]

The politics of the judge who signed the DOJ’s warrant is not relevant.

[u/TheRandomestPerson33]

The word nazi gets thrown around so loosely that it's lost it's meaning

[u/SoftDrinkReddit]

Illhan Omar is being investigated on allegations she fraudulently applied for citizenship

the claim is she lied about her year of birth saying she was 17 when she was infact 18 when she applied for US Citizenship so yea if found guilty of this it means she committed fraud is no longer a citizen and should be sent back to Somalia same should happen to anyone who committed Citizenship fraud

and obviously if it turns out she didn't fraudulently apply for citizenship then there is no case against her and understandably she's going to sue the prosecution that led this case against her

[u/EmbarrassedWorry3]

U know she got to the US illegally right?

[u/chamcg71]

Not the same.

[u/According-Insect-992 → u/chamcg71]

It is the same. Too many uneducated Americans seem to think that the third reich just woke up one morning and started gassing people. That aspect of the operation evolved over time.

They started by criminalizing the political opposition and undermining democracy like this evil fuck and his cult. It is only a matter of time because he and his surrogates are constantly escalating. Because they’ve taking that strategy they have to continue to escalate or their followers will either lose interest or they could even turn on them. They also began somewhat early on targeting trans people and queer people for erasure from public life. There are, in fact, too many parallels to count.

So they will continue to undermine democracy and the individual rights of anyone who they see as opposition.

[u/Playful_Reaction_847 → u/According-Insect-992]

R/doomercirclejerk

[u/challengerrt]

Well, the difference would be if the investigation discovers that she had willfully unknowingly lied on her naturalization paperwork that is grounds for denaturalization and it always has been so instead of jumping to conclusions about Nazis and the past why don’t we concentrate on applicable law in the present instead of people’s very loose interpretation of history

[u/Wickedsmack]
