Had the TV on in the background, Rick Steeves doing a travel thing on Germany, visiting the history of the Third Reich. Picking up bits and pieces, I started wondering if this was recent - he seemed to be making veiled parallels to today and the claims of Trump and 'fascism'. Or my imagination?

Well, they have Rick there live, and it was not subtle at all - he's talking about how we need to learn from the past, and watch out for these things in the present, and on and on. he just said things things happen bit by bit, then one day, you go to bed under democracy, and wake up under a dictator. Argghhhh!!!!

Geez, after 4 years in office, these people really think that Trump is the threat to Democracy? Fools.

To save democracy we must abandon democratic values.

If you ignore all the rights and privileges the left will take from White Christian Americans then they are still wrong about Trump. He has been president already and none of the false concerns were close to becoming reality.

He was still on, going on about how important PBS is to get information out to people. That dictators will control the media. On and on about the threat to democracy in these times.

Give me a break.

Adolf was 44 when he took power and checked out of the bunker at age 56.


Trump is 78 yrs old now, has already been President, and was just elected to his and (and last) term.

The level of hysteria with the Left is utterly nonsensical.
*Further, they know they are lying and misinforming the public. It's their intention to foment division and hatred for this President at every possible level. As it was with his first term and the fake dossier and Mueller investigation.

This is one reason why such a large and centralized government is so dangerous. There are people in this country that want to live in a police/govt sanctioned state. They could pick a state with those values and go there. Leave me alone.

Of course I live in La which is just a different version of totalitarianism

Trump is not a fascist. Let’s just hope he goes full Project 2025 so we start to heal the country.

From the article in the thread below about the Biden AI meeting.

quote:

they were taking us through their plans, and it was - basically just full government - full government control - like this sort of thing, there will be a small number of large companies that will be completely regulated and controlled by the government, they told us.


That is Fascism. Designated Corporate winners, Government control of Media, Government control of banking and finance, centralized planing with private ownership. People keep using the word Fascist and Fascism and don't even know what it is.

He’s mad because Trump (and Elon) about to defund NPR, and tax payer funding for their propaganda machine desquised as education and the arts. Don’t get me wrong, I like a good travel show but willing to pay for it myself through subscriptions etc

Amazing

He's complaining about dictators controlling the media, while the left has controlled the MSM for 25+ years. They've also covered for Biden and Harris for the past 4 years.

Remember... "Inflation is only transitory".

They like their fascism large scale and affiliated with industries in pharmaceuticals and military. Not the democratically selected.

"Political and civic advocacy. Politically, Steves has identified himself as a member of the Democratic Party, and publicly endorsed Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden's presidential campaigns in 2016 and 2020, respectively. Steves vocally backed both impeachments of Donald Trump and most recently endorsed Kamala Harris for president in the 2024 presidential election."
