What totalitarians hate most is people laughing at them. Their hatred is very serious to them. They expect you to respect their hate. Nazis love to be the center of attention but they hate being the butt of the joke.<\/p>\n<p>The right wing is being torn apart slowly by the stress of having to take a stand on the NAZI issue. How uncomfortably sad for them. If they side with the Nazis they will be in the minority. They hate that. They hate minorities. And that makes them side with the\u2026 Soon they will be fighting each other in the streets. But at least the police will leave them alone.<\/p>\n<p>Those who support Donald Trump are a shrinking minority. Which is awful for them, because they hate minorities. Reminder: The Republican party does not support this kind of hate. It supports a kind of hate with a slightly different presentation. Tactics are important.<\/p>\n<p>Southerners were so angry following the Civil War, after John Wilkes Booth, they went and took over the Republican Party. It is interesting the Republican Party base is so patriotic. Considering they are made up primarily of confederate traitors and nazis. Abe Lincoln would never put up with this hogswallop.\u00a0 I suppose we would\u2019ve let the south secede, had they not been holding hostages.<\/p>\n<p>Because Nazis have misused the term feminazi they\u2019re left with nothing to call their own women. Irksome, as they don\u2019t consider them equal.<\/p>\n<p>The Nazis have never done anything decent for humanity. Except invent toaster strudel.<\/p>\n<p>Which I won\u2019t eat on principle.<\/p>\n<p>Mimes are confusing to nazis. They like them because of the white face. But hate them because they are mute. Then they realize they\u2019re making fun of the mute. They like that. Then they decide the white face is insulting.<\/p>\n<p>When you say something nice about nazis that means you\u2019ve lost the argument.<\/p>\n<p>Eric Trump says his father tunes out criticism to prevent suicidal urges. Even his own son. Making Hitler comparisons. Say what you will about Donald Trump. He loves his kids. They make excellent human shields.<\/p>\n<p>Evangelicals vote Republican because someone explained the horror of the free market to them and they thought it sounded like a revelation.<\/p>\n<p>For the record, I am against forest fires, hurricanes and typhoons. I have opinions about a lot of extremist weather conditions which are counter to those of the ruling elite.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s keep things factual: the American medical system is the only death tax applicable to 99% of Americans. There is no surer way to separate a family from money than sickness. In the USA. There\u2019s a whole industry built upon it.<\/p>\n<p>Trump today signed an executive order abolishing hope. He stated, \u201cThere is no hope for me \u2013 why should anyone else have it?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Without getting too in to it, I\u2019d vote for Colin Kaepernick in the next election.
