Icon Yeah, we're not hysterical...

The tactic in the United States on how to deal with things that Andi, David, or I are saying is to just label us hysterical. That was part of why Trump quoted Hitler, so then when people pointed out he was quoting Hitler, they could invoke that internet "rule" and claim we have all lost our shit because we mentioned Hitler.

Well, he quoted him. What are people supposed to say "Hey, um, I think he quoted, ah, that guy. You know, that German guy."

I've noticed a new tactic as well, and that is essentially to do the same toward anybody, that is not Trump, that uses the word fascist. To say that if we do that, we are being hysterical and should be mocked. Well, again, you talk about using fascist tactics, how should that be described?

"Hey, he is doing that, ah, thing. You know the thing."

It is all intentional. I mean, I would like not to be bringing up Hitler when discussing a US presidential candidate but he actually went and quoted him, specifically so people have to bring him up. 

I don't think it was Trump that thought of quoting Hitler, that was probably Roger Stone, but Donald being the nasty pile of garbage he is, likely loved the idea.

Look, I know Trump is not Hitler yet, he has not had the chance yet to round up people and exterminate them the way Hitler did. So, yeah, at the moment, he is not Hitler...just a guy that very much sounds like he wants to be Hitler, which people should take notice of.
