>obama assassinates american citizens
>COOL BLACK PRESIDENT

>trump says maybe to stop attacking russia
>LITERALLY HITLER. SAVE OUR SOULS!

Yeah that definitely doesn't gloss over anything at all

This.

Always makes me giggle when I think that if liberals really got this upset thinking Trump is a fascist how much they would shit themselves if America actually did become a fascist nation.

Brainlets are ruining this book with the LE JUST LIKE DRUMPF shit

>hehe America becoming a fascist nation makes me giggle
God forbid we try to stop it from becoming one before it's too late.

God forbid we actually learn what fascism is instead of just labeling every too right wing for you "fascism". Don't worry if fascism comes to America it won't be in the vein of Hitler with elections or Mussolini with a demonstration. It'll be more like the Spanish civil war.

>tfw no qt soanish red gf

You don't even realize that you've already made a fatal mistake, already overplayed your hand. In your zealous opposition to fascism you called everything fascist, even when it clearly wasn't. Case and point, Trump. Everyone knows that Trump isn't literally a fascist, yet the left has gone so above and beyond in attempting to brand him that way that most normal people have tuned it out. And now when you get a real fascist, as it seems like you will eventually, people are going to tune you out there too. And you'll sit with your hands in your lap wondering why people aren't listening to you, when you're just repeating the same mantra you've been uttering for the past several decades.

Fascists can't be elected in America because we aren't retarded Germans

>Germany is the only country to ever elect fascists every

Yeah we're dumber

Germans are pretty stupid lads, if you discount German Jews, the only notable thing Germans have ever done is the Holocaust

Okay, you've had your fun. Go back to /pol/.

Now you're just being ignorant

Don't forget the fall of the Roman Empire, the Protestant Reformation, and starting WWI

>Op makes a political post
>user makes a political on topic response
>Oy vey go back to /pol/
I swear this website is reducing my lifespan with some of the retarded shit I have to read.

Honestly this book made me realize Trump isn’t anything close to a fascist. He definitely appeals to racists, but the shit he’s doing isn’t even comparable to Buzz Windrip.

>I swear this website is reducing my lifespan with some of the retarded shit I have to read.
Good. The sooner white men die off, the better.

>(You) make a bait post
>(You) make a post in response to (You)r on post which was what (You) wanted to say in the first place because (You) are a retard and think it's deep
>(You) get called a retarded /pol/edditor
MEIN GOTT UNTERMENSCH IT'S LIKE ANUDDA /pol/ HARBOR

>Anyone who calls me on my bullshit is /pol/
This is exactly what I'm talking about you idiot. Nothing I said was anything close to /pol/, but you're lumping me in with them thereby devaluing the label of /pol/ so it's useless when actual /pol/ opinions are brought up. I'm a liberal, but American "liberals" like yourself are fucking cancer. You think everyone to the left of you is a literal fascist, or in this case /pol/, that they're all against you. And if you keep going this way, they will be eventually.

>/pol/ still doesn't understand what liberal means

I think you're replying to the wrong person because I don't see what that has to do with my post, but I'd tend to agree. Both /pol/ and /leftypol/ have a very immature and frankly incorrect view of what liberalism is.

Because he's building up to it slowly. Or did you miss yesterday's SotU where he literally did this:
>“Tonight,” he said, “I call on the congress to empower every Cabinet secretary with the authority to reward good workers—and to remove federal employees who undermine the public trust or fail the American people.”

im just waiting for the brownshirts to come back so i can hide some qt jewish girl and have her fall in love with me

I mean how is this any different from what any other president has done? The idea that to the winner goes the spoils is at about as old as the country. While it was obviously more prevalent in the 18th and 19th centuries, you can still see some of it in the modern period. I mean hell, look at what Obama did in gutting the military of officers who weren't progressive enough.

and now with krump in the white house america's relations with russia are at their worst since the cold war

>Getting rid of shitty politicians is fascism now

Well shit sign me up

Is that different from house bill 4182 that would extend the period a newly-hired federal employee can be fired without the adjudication process from one year to two? Because that’s pretty distinct from arresting politicians.

I unironically wish the left was right and Ronald Glumpf was a fascist figure in the vain of Caesar, Napoleon, or Hitler. Unfortunately he's just a cuckservative clown.

t. Actual fascist.

Praise Kek, brother!

>Everyone who doesn't think Trump is a literal fascist is /pol/
Do you not see the irony here?

Damn this /pol/ user is so assblasted. For someone who belongs in a supposedly superior political spectrum, you can sure get triggered by shitposting.

Nor does the OP!

It always has been a fascist nation tho

You're right, the left is at present structurally unequipped to process reality (so is the right btw, but their task is an easier one, as it mainly amounts to fawning over power), so they scream FASCIST, RACIST, SEXIST, when they'd be better served focusing their energy on economic and social problems. It's a thought I often hear coming out of right winger's mouths in the form of something like, "If she would have focused on problems facing millions of Americans instead of trying to mobilize and unite various victimized identity groups, she would have won." But you're right about the cry wolf boy. And Trump isn't a fascist. He's more of a donor class hero with some 20hrs of cable TV a day reactionary retard and boomer diet Coke/McDonalds lifestyle sprinkled in there.

I think the right has an inherently stronger position though, all they really have to do is the same thing the left did to them in the 60s. This is just one article on one book, but there are plenty of others out there along the same lines. What the right has essentially done in the US is that it has taken the place of the counter cultural movement, and it seeks to provoke the left into moral outrage akin to what the leftists of the 60s did to conservative America. They really just have to keep pushing with this same strategy that the left itself used to get into power, and they'll probably end up seizing the cultural initiative, so to speak.

It did not, America has no dictator, and it's not in the slightest a fascist state. That won't of course stop hyperactive hysteria from those whose party is not in control of the white house.

>the only notable thing Germans have ever done is the Holocaust
which was a great feat of engineering, secrecy, planning and evil.

Could you kill 6 million people without a single written order to that effect? Having thousands of soldiers, some of whom were newly recruited teenagers, in on the secret without it leaking out?

Yeah it glosses over how Obama also turned the IRS into a political weapon, removed the restriction on creating propaganda, targeted journalists, and all the other dozens of overreaches he committed in his term.

...

It's all about peak optics my friend.

Hail Trump!
Hail Our People!
Hail Victory!

I little fascism is the only thing that will save the nation at this point.

>He definitely appeals to racists,

I wish this was true.

I wish Trump was hitler and we were forcefully deporting millions of people.

That is not at all happening.

Why do I keep getting teased by everyone?

Here I am thinking yes!!!! finally a racist president that will do what is needed and instead is just a typical middle of the road asshole.

lol imagine hunting digits and lying this egregiously there are literally signed papers from SS commanders listing off how many jews they killed that week/month you fucking animal

You take his intentional bullshit even farther by continuing to name scandals applicable only to Obama as if that vindicates Trump.
I don't like Obama, I am not defending Obama, and I am not comparing the two. My assertion here is that Trump is a fucking embarassment on every possible level.
I find it hilarious that you attack Obama with a picture of some rushed half-assed salute to paint him as disrespectful while trying to defend a draft dodger who said he "likes people that weren't captured," mocked the parents of a dead soldier for being Muslims, and joked that avoiding STDs in the 70s was his own personal Vietnam. Without referring to Obama, Hillary, or the evil Jew media, I would love to hear someone defend this shit.

Why are you pretending we don't have actual enemies in our systems of government?

We have people that consider that nation illegitimate and stolen land for christ sake.

Those people SHOULD be removed.

Nothing to really defend.
The game is that you have fabricated some offense when none of actually occurred.

"Fabricated some offense?" How about a blatant disrespect for the office he holds? As an American I'm offended that he represents me to the world in that light.
I wish a real president like Teddy could meet him just to boil over with rage and kick his obese ass.

You are obviously just biased and don't care about the real issues at hand.

Let the controlled media shape your mind some more clown.

Teddy set the precedent for American nation building.

youtube.com/watch?v=4ztOV2wrrkY

>the real issues
Except the man you're defending won't ever change a "real issue" either. No politician will, because every single one of them today is bought and paid for by the obscene amount of money flowing through various lobbying groups and campaign contributors with the express purpose of making lots of identity politics noise and quietly doing whatever their donors want on the "real issues."
Trump is different in the sense that he's also a fucking idiot that can't pretend to have the dignity the position usually brings with it. He'll gladly start a war with Korea if it means people think better of him.

Sigh.. such tired rhetoric.

I don't get it, you socialists can simply move to Europe anytime you want.

Why don't you just do that instead of trying to change the USA?

Because this is my country and I'm not a spineless bootlicking fag like you.

You clearly hate the place.

I hate the road it's taking into corporatist hell and want to drag it back out. I would gladly die for a cause like that.
Would you die for Donald so that he could joke about it in front of your parents afterwards?

Those who identify themselves as socialists, they sicken me deeply. Socialism was a mistake, it's nothing but trash.

I am sorry that you have to get a job and work for a living.

>haha you're just lazy
You and I both work harder than people with the wealth of entire countries that run our government backing both parties. Keep believing your hard work will make you rich, and I will try to change things so that it'll actually be true.

Lmao commies are funny man.

You sure that’s a gril?

Autobahn you cunt

>Drumpf is literally Hitler XD
Trump isn't even remotely close to being Fascist but I wish he was.

I don’t need to be rich. Middle class comfy is fine.

Nobody needs to be rich. Every person in America could be middle class comfy if we put an effort into making it that way, but that's commie talk.

You bootlickers are absurd.

God forbid everybody has a chance to make a living. God damn commies!!!11111111

I have no interest in making an effort to make drug addicts, drunks, sluggards and retards middle class comfy

This is your brain without the concept of class
>divide the world into commies and not commies based on whether it sounds funny (commie talk) like your daddy did
or
>work hard, stoically settle for less and less every year, be mad, and get told it was the commies (or the Jews)

Nobody needs to but will everyone just accept that blindly? There are much more ways to be oppressive than just being richer than someone else. And as history has shown it is not fucking pretty.

I was sure something had finally happen when trump got elected. I remember watching the election results come in and all the faggots at my school were crying around me and I was so full of hope It felt like anything could happen. Yet a year latter this senile fuck is still sitting around with his dick in his hand. Maybe we really are at the end of history. The nukes cant fall a day too soon. Death to America.

You're right, and a monumental effort to curb those other potentials to oppress would be necessary in any future. That doesn't mean we should accept the unbelievable power of economic oppression in America.

>there are literally signed papers from SS commanders listing off how many jews they killed that week/month you fucking animal
What are you on about? It is accepted fact that most of the orders were verbal and nearly nothing was written down.

Edgy as frick, bro!!!!

This as well there are many dregs in this country that CANNOT be helped no matter how much libshits insist. It's a worthless effort

this book is good until the guy gets elected, than it turns in a horrible fanfic-tier bs with lots of characters with no perspnality

yeah that was a dumb right wing post

while this is clearly an intellectual effort of an enlighted liberal

>a real president like Teddy
Teddy dragged us into WW1 on behalf of interests that were not our own. He was bought, just like Churchill was in WW2. Both of these characters stand tall in the minds of their respective populations. Most of their popularity is based in the constant storytelling that is rained on us from mainstream media and entertainment still to this day.

>starting WWI
>I am unaware of the country named Austria. I also discount the string of assassinations that were intended to cause a power shift in Europe.

lol you really think anyone here would be outraged by the fact that trump didn't go to war? lmao

also, i smile everytime someone reminds about "people who weren't captured" and "shithole countries". comedy gold

lol leftists become old timey grandpas when it comes to bash people they don't like.

>Someone who doesn't want to fellate the corpse of either Teddy or Churchill
BASED

fag is homophobic word. go to the FEMA camp for reeducation with the other WHITE MALE BIGOTS

>it's taking

lol how old are you? i bet you weren't even born when raegan was president. therefore the "corporatist hell" is what you always knew

If I cared more about this country, or things right wing people put a lot of stock in like projecting strength or competence, I'd care about "the office he holds." I don't though.

how are you gonna do that? by helping importing more workers for shithole countries who will work they're ass off for the rich? by bashing cars of 99 percenters while you go protesting in the street? or you will change the world by writing an ironic and angry tweet about trump?

and why should i want to make lazy fuckers who want my demise middle class comfy?

>you weren't alive
>you can't know
LOL what are you even doing on a literature board? It's been a few hours since I've read something which so cynically undermines the potential of the written word or the human mind to achieve their most basic functions.

so you don't actually care that trump is a disgrace to the office he holds, you were simply roleplaying as a conservative who would therefore be outraged by trump?

lol just go sniffing glue my man, you'll have fun doing so and you don't really need your brain cells anyway

you're such melodramatic idiot. you say you love your country, but you hate its current form. but the current form is the only form you experienced that country, therefore you love a personal fantasy you have about america.

No, that wasn't me. I sent the first few commie responses and after that people like jumped on board.

While Trump is a vulgarian, he’s a nice break from the ‘real politicians’ we’ve had in office.

(You)

and no, it doesn't matter if you know how things were "before", because i'm talking about you. you said "i love america" not "i love this version of america i've read about"

and by the way, in which period you like the us the most? the modern corporatist hell? back when the KKK was strong and powerful? when jim crow was a thing? when there was slaves? when ameircan were wiping out indians?

admit it, america has never been a place where modern day liberals like would love

Is there fucking anywhere back in time that modern liberals would even like? Such an irrational group of human beings.

were you born in 2012?
True nationalism (the kind that's not based on race but nation) in it's simplest sense is nation building. You'd probably want more productive citizens (nationalist or not), more in tax revenue, more investments in tech, industry, jobs that benefit the nation and reduce the social (addicts, drunks, sluggards) problems we shoulder as a nation. By elevating those below you into a position where they can provide for themselves and not take or just do harm, you'd be reducing these perennial problems which have filled speeches for decades and elicited applause from congresses filled with 8 figure earners, you'd actually be elevating yourself into higher stratas of the middle class as well.

ha ha. but my point still stands. a liberal can't say "i don't like how america's is changing" if before it was even more conservative.
for republicans who like 1950s america it would at least make sense say things like this

true nationalism can't work in america
