Truly is despicable. And so many people love him. Makes me really sad.

Dang, the guy that's pandering to Nazis has Nazi rhetoric in his campaign ads. Didn't see that coming

this is horrifying

Republicans seemed to embrace claiming Russian talking points pretty well. Im sure he figured he would push the envelope and try some Nazi ones.

Nazi nerds trying to flip it as "herp Reich means realm in german" on social media now.

Like that word hasn't been tied to nazis for 90 years or so now.

The funny thing is, the Reich that's mentioned in the text blurb isn't referring to the Nazis, it's referring to the pre-WWI German Empire.

I guess the person who made the video didn't know that, they just saw the word Reich and assumed it was talking about the Nazis, so they threw it in.

But Biden is unelectable cuz reasons

Someone should ask him if he's planning to change our national language to German and realy confuse him.

Nah it's cool, we're just supposed to not pay attention to the constant stream of shit like this from him and the right.

i don't get it, why are the talking about the German Empire to begin with?

It's equally vindicating and depressing that those of us who have been calling Trump what he is since 2015 are proven to be more and more correct each day.

"You call everyone you don't like a Nazi" is and always was the dumbest fucking retort.

I mean, in a way this isn't surprising at all because everyone with a fraction of a brain knows what Trump's all about, but it still feels pretty shocking and sickening to see him just up and say it.

It's definitely easier to convince Republicans to be down for Nazi talking points than Russian ones given how many Neo Nazis are within the Republican Party/voting base.

Not even using euphemisms anymore

Shit like this really does prove that trump could shoot someone in cold blood in the middle of 5th Avenue NYC, and his supporters will still slobber over him. Revolting.

If you're voting for Trump, or planning to stay home because of "but Palestine," you can fuck right off. This is basically him writing in neon lights "Yes, we WILL be Nazis, and I WILL be a dictator."

History does not repeat... but it does rhyme.

i mean they wear shirts that say i would rather be a russian than dem just add nazi in there gonna be real funny for non white trumpers ehhh

the sad thing is that I think neo-nazidom is too strong an external belief for trump to ever have, it's a belief that doesn't revolve directly around him. out of all of the populist takes he could use to get the adulation he wants, it's sad that neo-nazi is the easiest, such desperation

"It's a landslide!"
"TRUMP WINS!!"

Fuck off.

Get out and vote when the time comes, Democrats.

It's from the Wikipedia article for World War I. I have no idea why they decided to lift it from there.

Isn't that same?

Hitler wanted the 3rd Reich. He was...also referring to pre-world war Empire.

The Holy Roman Empire was the 1st Reich, and the German Empire was the 2nd

And Nazism was to make a 3rd.

So anyone who does the same and says we want a new Reich, that is Nazism. So if Trump points to Reich 1, he is still imitating Hitler.

Ah yeah that's what we should aspire to. WWI Germany.

There's too much focus on that one screenshot and not enough focus on how the rest of that ad is equally steeped in Nazi ideology.

but WingsOfGood, you're arguing in bad faith here! the quote we put was from WWI, the 2nd reich, not the third! we're not calling for the rise of a new Nazi party by creating a 4th reich, we're... uh... german nationalists now??

Accurate

But Biden genocide.

Part of the republican base hates Nazis while other parts of their base are nazis. They want to appeal.to both groups.

Jesus fuck, I'm trying to make fun of the Nazis who made the video because they don't know their own history and are just pulling from anything with keywords that they like

Still waiting on the anti-Biden crowd to explain how he's the same as fat fuck.

Why this comment? UnholyMudCrab is a leftist don't think they arguing in favor maybe confused and that is why we discuss.

This election season is the time to just say it straight out without any of the niceties we grew up taught to display in order to respect opposing political opinions. The modern GOP is evil, and has been for a long time. Donald Trump is evil, and has been since before he entered politics.

If you vote GOP or refuse to vote for Biden, the only realistic alternative at this point, then you are endorsing evil. You are allowing it to slither into power, to harm this country, and to hurt marginalized people who are our neighbors and friends.

Biden is absolutely flawed and makes mistakes. I dont care, and neither should anyone else. This time there is clearly a good side and a bad side, and a refusal to endorse the good and figure the rest out later means you are on the wrong side.

I dont want to hear about policy or anything else. MAGA is screaming who they are from a damn bullhorn, and it is not acceptable. It never was. Vote Blue, or understand that you are helping people who are screaming in your face that they are evil ascend to power, with all of the unconscionable consequences that will bring.

I mean they say they do but still vote for Repubs.

I'll give a little credit to the practically extinct species that is "a Republican so sick of Trump/Nazi nonsense they have outright said they will vote for Biden, or already did that in 2020 and will do it again" but that's about it.

Anyway I don't know how much louder it can get for those in the back. This type of shit should be on every news page. Every news channel. All of them. There's saying the quiet part out loud and then there's fucking saying the quiet part with a fucking megaphone.

Just to make absolutely sure, there's no actual non-academic language use in English for the German word 'Reich' except to refer to the Third Reich, aka Nazi Germany, is there?

It's a shrinking number that's losing power but yes they do.

Other than Robert Reich, nope. None.

Yeah, colloquially there is very little use, if any, of "Reich" referencing any German regime other than Nazi Germany.

Also Trump wanting an academic return to the Byzantine Empire makes even less sense than he just a fan of Hitler.

Agree with all of this. A better argument for people who want to make it "Biden v Trump" is to make it "Democracy v Fascism". The Republican Party will absolutely turn us into some model of either Hungary or Russia if they're ever given the chance, with or without Trump.

Captain America really picked the worst time to fuck off back to 1946

I find that Bluesky has gotten more unpleasant with so-called "leftists" taunting us with a Trump victory. What's worse is that many of them are from other countries encouraging American leftists not to even vote at all.
