It’s crypto-facsism and needs to be hunted down to the same extent as real nazis.
The real question is, once the remainder of Trump’s base comes around to openly accepting Klansmen and Nazis into their fold will they still continue using “Hilterly KKKlinton” as a derogatory term?
A failure to you? Sure. A failure by the standards of normal political spindoctoring? Yup. A failure as a statesman representing a liberal democracy? Yes.
A failure at achieving his own goals? No. A failure at advancing the desires of his supporters? Also no.
This statement wasn’t Trump being incompetent or clueless. The words were very carefully chosen, and landed exactly as intended.
The death toll includes two troopers who were killed in a helicopter crash. One death was deliberate; the other two were accidental.
There are still a lot of Trump voters who are in fervent denial and refuse to acknowledge that by supporting him they support a political movement of outright racism and xenophobia. I’m also sure there were people in Nazi Germany happy about being back to work and out of war debt who said things like: Just because I support Hitler doesn’t mean I support everything Hitler does.
Unfortunately it’s that group who adds sufficient numbers to the facists’ voting bloc and falsely legitimizes them enough to embolden them to do things like this.
For a moment there, I thought you were referring to the news.
AKA:
- “Good Germans”
- I didn’t vote for Hitler, I voted against the Communists.
- Don’t blame me, I voted for Hindenburg.
- It’s all the fault of those anarchists and socialists. If they hadn’t been making trouble, none of this would have happened.
- They told us they were just work camps. You couldn’t trust anything in the papers those days, how was I to know what to believe?
“I was just following orders”
So much for “the party of personal responsibility.”
What a bunch of fucking pathetic, spineless, gutless, cowards.

You realize even with words he knows how to spell, he doesn’t know what they mean or how to use them.
That saying always makes me think “but hexachlorophene is the best disinfectant!”, which you could interpret in a couple of different ways
Turns out the Germans still know what to do with ugly americans playing Nazi
Hey, check out the new book that this asshole is promoting this weekend. What fortuitous timing, right?
Ugh, to think that oligarch-teat sucking worm still gets taken seriously . . .
It can be so difficult sometimes to feel hopeful in this fucked-up society.
Read some Thoreau
I’m listening to Manic Street Preachers albums, they remind me there is still something worth fighting for.
