  1. If the Biden administration WAS the Gestapo, Trump wouldn’t still be around to call them that.

  2. To republicans, Biden is. All Democrats are, to them, really.

    Democrats want to try and jail pedophiles. Democrats want tax avoiders and evaders (personal AND businesses) to pay up. Democrats want better labor laws, which business owners hate. Democrats want government regulations to stop polluters from poisoning our water, land, and air.

    Funnily enough, pedophile, tax evading, polluting business owners keep finding a home in only one political party, and it ain’t the Democrats.

  3. The people who buy into this rhetoric must be the same ones who were giving wedgies and huffing markers instead of paying attention in history class. Only the profoundly ignorant or willfully obtuse could possibly accept the garbage that this bozo spews.

    >To Donald Trump, Hungarian strongman Viktor Orbán is “fantastic,” Chinese leader Xi Jinping is “brilliant,” North Korea’s Kim Jong Un is “an OK guy,” and, most alarmingly, he allegedly said Adolf Hitler “did some good things,”

  5. I really don’t need to hear about every utterance from this fucking dick bag. It’s been nine years I’m so tired of hearing about him. I don’t care what he says anymore.

  6. Wharton must be very proud of their most famous graduate. Is that where he learned about the Gestapo, or from Hogan’s Heros?

  7. >“When you are Democrat, you start off essentially at 40 percent because you have civil service, you have the unions and you have welfare,” Mr. Trump said on Saturday. “And don’t underestimate welfare. They get welfare to vote, and then they cheat on top of that — they cheat.”

  8. Says the man who wants to allow surveillance of pregnant women — just in case they think about having an abortion.

  9. In June, 2020, which president deployed badgeless uniformed troopers to grab protesters off of the streets and illegally detain them for days?

  10. Well, know we know what he’s planning to name his private police force!

    Vote R for Republicans, Russia, and Revolting. Vote D for Democrats, Democracy, and Decency.

  11. And Drumpf would know about the Gestapo, with Miller on his staff re-creating National Socialist talking points from 1930s Germany.

  12. I’m sure all the people who have been tone policing and saying “Don’t cheapen the word” when Trump gets called authoritarian or fascist will be reaaaaaaal quick to do the same here. Right? Pretty soon. It’s gonna…. They’re gonna say something any minute. Just around the corner, I’m sure. They, uh, they’re probably just spell checking or something. Maybe had to reboot their wifi. Something like that.

  13. Deliberate PROJECTION is a strategy of Fascists. They accuse others of what it is they are doing or plan to do, so that when they actually do it, there is already public consent for it since “both sides are doing it”.

    The tactics of the modern American Right are indistinguishable for 1930s Germany.

  14. Yeah no shit so stop reporting on it. Trump is like nelly in the office where she’s like you have to clap for me to exist the more you clap the more I can be the manager of dundermifflin….

  15. A classic dictator strategy: Always accuse the other side of that which you yourself are guilty of!

  16. It’s both projection, outright lies, and a pervasive myth that liberal philosophy is somehow making traditional lifestyles impossible. It plays on a primal fear and aversion to things that are different or new. Liberals can easily counter this by not playing into fear-mongering hands and getting sensational about controversy, but rather emphasizing the freedom and liberty in liberal philosophy. There’s no liberal tone police trying to curb freedom of speech. Don’t fall for it.

  17. You know, I’m not even looking at this stuff, whether it’s left, right or whatever. My mind was made up already.

  18. As usual accuse your enemy of doing what you’re actually doing.

  19. When will Biden use his unlimited presidential immunity to gestapo trump?

  20. Well, now that the mask is of and it’s a straight up battle between fascism and American democracy then everyone could peruse the 2025 mandate and decide for themselves whether or not Gilead is their future.

  21. So why they’re saying is Trump supporters suddenly think Biden is okay?

  22. Then he should think that Biden is a very fine person, on both sides.
