Elon Musk also did a Nazi salute on the presidents stage.
I’m fucking sick of people acting like it was something else.
It’s called a sieg heil. Salute makes it sound respectable.
I mean it is respectful but just to Hitler.
Litmus test of friendship.
Just ask them if that gesture was a nazi salute or not. If they say no, walk away, they aren’t worth being friends with.
It’s much worse than this
I too used to believe that Trump is getting some kind of kickback for his helping Russia, and maybe he still is
Until very recently I called Trump Putin’s puppet
After seeing Vlad Vexler’s video
I now understand the depths of Trump’s narcissistic psychopathy
Trump separates people into two categories: People who have value to him and those who do not.
Trump will freely give the US and the west to Putin just because he wants to be in Putin’s good graces because Trump requires validation from him.
To Trump, Putin belongs in the class of people that have value to him.
As someone who was raised by a narcissistic sociopath (and who was fucked up by it in countless ways), it’s beyond terrifying seeing the same type of scumbag occupying the white house.
To make a long story short. Trump always claims that others do something before he has it done… He says others risk a ww3… which countries does he want to claim everything again?
It boils down to further consolidating his dictatorship regime and completely abolishing democracy. To then attack Europe together with the ally Russia… Trump is now making sure that money and everything will flow again and Russia can rearm on the side. Your judges or anyone else won’t be able to do anything about it. The only thing that can change it are people who sacrifice themselves for their country and go and kill terrorists.yes, thats what weve been saying. he just wants to pull a reverse kissinger with russia, so he can hurt china.
i doubt he will succeed, but he will throw all he can at it because he convinced himself capable of it.
We are not of value to Trump.
He does not have the mental capacity to have a conscience.
He does not care if we live or die.
To him, it is not Russia that he is helping, only Putin because he has a compulsive need for validation from him.
Ultimately, it’s not even about Putin. It’s just fulfillment of his personal need for validation, a constant quest for self-gratification through the validation of those he sees as being of value
We are not of value to Trump.
He does not have the mental capacity to have a conscience.
He does not care if we live or die.
This is true of literally every big capitalist and most small capitalists (actually the small capitalists are more likely to be pointlessly cruel, instead of simply not caring). Yall focus on individuals too much to understand the systems at work here.
It’s way more than that.
Watch the video
he is a narcissist, but he also has political goals.
Like all mental health conditions there are grades to its severity
Trump isn’t a run of the mill narcissist, he has acute narcissistic personality disorder.
Any political goal he has isn’t his own. They are only there because he is seeking validation from someone else and is enacting their will to achieve that validation.
i think you are overanalyzing his likely condition. his goals aligns with his chosen allies, i don’t think this is very notable.
And I don’t think you’ve watched the video
I can accept that I am not doing the video justice
i did and i think it makes sense that hes a narcissist, its just that political leaders like him arent doing things by themselves, and they have strategic interests.
theres usually a group of people going back and forth before making these decisions. and i think the video guy is pathologizing his relationship with putin too much in lieau of other factors that might matter more.
also a lot of what his regime in general says is possibly meant to make us angry and confused on purpose. trump’s public persona should be taken with a grain of salt, and is not that relevant in face of the actual decisions made.
This is Great Man Theory nonsense, and frankly attributes too much of a mythical status to Trump.
It would be interesting to know how identifying and understanding a compromising and debilitating personality disorder made the jump to great man theory
Because that is certainly not what we are talking about here
The video is less than 12 minutes
Or maybe American fascists and Russian fascists just (correctly) see each other as obvious allies. They’re both the product of the exact same neo-liberal politics Afterall. That way you don’t need to invoke Manchurian candidate conspiracy theories or Redditeur pseudo-psycology.
Lol DHS is now listed in Wikipedia as a Secret Police Organization 🤣
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_secret_police_organizations
I love these editors, they speak the truth as it is.
In the same vein, zionism is a far right philosophy of land theft and murder, and its not anti semitism when you object to it-- zionists are being antisemitic when they hide behind the entire jewish religion to commit their terrorism. Dont be afraid of pushing back on old school terrorism and war crimes. We’re better than that. – Or maybe we have been better than that in the past, and will be again.
Yes, I can’t believe I see dipshits that get angry and scream “antisemitism” even on Lemmy, in response to someone pointing out that massacring innocent civilians because you want their land is genocide. There’s no depth in the view of someone who got their feelings hurt when you pointed out the damage they’re causing.
Reminder Trump has arranged for “Illegal” Latino men (Venezuelan to be precise) to be sent to Slave/Rape Camps in El-Salvador
Instead of following protocol to sent them back to Venezuela & The fucking Right-Wing (can we call them Rightists ?) Scum-fucks are jerking off to this disgusting state-sponsored slavery.
By all objective measures, HitlerPig us the most prolific traitor in American history, wirse than all other American traitors COMBINED.
And yet, I’ve never heard an elected official or media outlet ever call him a Traitor. Until the left starts tying these traitors to their crimes, and hammers on it every single day, the Dems will NEVER wrest the power from the MAGA Traitors.
HitlerPig is a proven traitor, and anyone who still supports him, is also a traitor, and none of them should be allowed to forget it.

All I meant by “the left” was EVERYBODY who is not MAGA.
And we can make them care about being called Traitors when we make it clear that it isn’t hyperbole, it isnt rhetoric, it isnt partisan gamesmanship, it means we think they are true criminal Traitors to America, and will be called to account for their Sedition. The leadership, anyone who is elected, should absolutely be charged for their crimes. So should many street level MAGAs, like the J6 traitors, and anyone who gets violent between now and then. The rest should feel so uncomfortable that they want to leave America, and they can go live in Russia.
Yes, I’m sure you’ll have a not of luck defeating fascism by declaring “having the wrong politics” to be legally treasonous
Some political philosphies need to be destroyed. Nazism is one of them. Germany was able to purge Nazism from their nation, and survive as a productive nation of the world, with the help of the United States and the Nuremburg Trials, and we will have to be courageous enough as a nation to do the same thing.
Ok, but you’re not talking about purging Nazism, you’re talking about arresting your political enemies for “treason”.
MAGA is just re-branded Nazism, they are the exact same thing. MAGA is nothing more than a highly financed criminal enterprise, and should be illegal. They should be treated exactly the same as any violent street gang, or the Mafia.
I do not advocate locking people up for their political affiliations, but they should be locked up for their actual crimes, and the lists of HitlerPig’s crimes, and those of his family and henchmen are long. Planning, leading, promoting, rallying, and launching an Insurrection is a CRIME, and all those involved should be held to account for it. The False Electors Plot was a crime, and all involved should be hrld to account for it. Stealing hundreds of classified documents is a crime, and all those involved should be held to account for it.
There are many more crimes that we all saw with our own eyes, so many that HitlerPig would spend the rest of his life shuttling between his prison cell and courtrooms. That would be fine with me, but it would probably be better for America if he just gets convicted of enough of his crimes to put him away until his death, with no access to any media.
I don’t want anyone to go to prison for their politics, just their crimes. Dont you think criminals should be held accountable for their crimes? If a Democrats stole hundreds of classified documents, would you forgive them and vote for them?
Why are MAGAs so soft on crime?

I’m not only caught up, I’ve been ahead of the curve for years. I’m a history grad, and I’ve been making the Nazi comparisons for years, because it was clear as day to me that they were following the Nazi playbook. Now it’s finally clear to everyone else, too.
I don’t understand what your issue is. We are actually on the same side, but your are somehow fixated on the word Left. Calm down.
ALL MAGAs are Traitors to America and the Constitution, and they should have that label tattooed on their foreheads.

What are you talking about? The entire thread is about America, and the new regime violating the Constitution. That’s what this thread is about, that’s why the “fascination.”
Americans care about the Constitution because its guided our nation since its founding, and it is considered sacrosanct. The new administration is simply ignoring it, and doing whatever they want, which is far too close to the Nazi playbook for comfort. Not only are Americans upset about it, the entire world should be upset about it.
And again, that focus on the word Left, which I seldom use, and almost didn’t in this case. All I meant by the word Left was anyone who isn’t MAGA, because that’s how MAGA sees the world. If you aren’t MAGA, you are on “The Left.”
There’s a special congressional election near me, and the candidates include a rare non-MAGA candidate. The opposition attack ads are painting him as a “Liberal” and “RINO,” when he is just as conservative as any Republican, he’s just anti-HitlerPig.
I understand that Left means something different in Europe, but this thread is about American politics, so I used the word Left in an American political context. It’s weird that there is so much focus on a single word, instead of my actual message.

HitlerPig
I have to ask, are you literally a child?
It’s weird that there is so much focus on a single word
I guarantee you that American leftists are not going to like the idea of being thrown in jail for treason because they don’t consider the constitution “sacrosanct”.
Doesn’t sound fair to me. Musk is an oligrach, but he’s also, at least, a nazi transphobe who disowned his own daughter. Donald is, at least again, a convicted felon and rapist who was best friend with the the most notorious pedophile of the past 50 years, and also tried to overthrow the government while being backed by a foreign country. Let get our facts straight.
I don’t see this post on their bluesky. Can anyone post a link, please?
Wise words
You can also just call them all pedophiles because that is also what they are
What actual proof do you have he’s with Russia?
Maybe we shouldn’t be encouraging another crazy person without some kind of actual proof, this is some pizza gate level of insanity.
Elections aren’t rigged, the bad economy decided Trumps election, blame the first past the post system. We got two years of this and the world won’t end.
There is so much mental illness in America. You cant reason with them, they are trapped in a full on delusion and that delusion defines who they are. The scary part is that they used to be on the fringes of each party but now they are in the drivers seat and their numbers are growing. I worry for the future of America.
It’s a foundational tenet of the American Civil Religion that America is, at it’s heart, ontologically good and exceptional. Therefore, any large scale problems can’t be the result of internal issues, they have to be the product of an outside evil corrupting the American Eden.
It’s very much like the Christian doctrine that it descends from: all evil ultimately flowing from a single source, be it Satan or Putin.
This reminds me of my dear old uncle, who died of lung cancer that the doctor told him was just a cough. “Go home, take some Robitussin, it’ll clear up.”
