Quote:Why does every conversation about Trump end in fascism? Has anyone ever actually read up on what the fascist parties of Germany and Italy did? It isn't even remotely comparable. Please, for the love of god, read a history book before you mention Fascism and Trump together.

 

<b>Godwin's law</b> (or <b>Godwin's rule of Nazi analogies</b>)^[1]^[2] is an Internet adage asserting that "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1"^[2]^[3]—​that is, if an online discussion (regardless of topic or scope) goes on long enough, sooner or later someone will compare someone or something to Hitler or Nazism.

 

This is just getting ridiculous.

 

If Hillary Clinton gets elected, so be it. She won't be any different than Rubio or Bush, the two "leaders" of the GOP. Hopefully Trump does run as an independent in this case and destroys the GOP. It is a decrepit party of ineptitude and weakness that have far strayed from its Republican roots. Cruz and Rand are the only two running that could possibly continue the Republican tradition (aside from Trump), but they cannot withstand the media onslaught like Trump can. Put the nail in the GOP's coffin and let something better rise from its ashes.

 

This ignorance is what perplexes me. Are some people so stupid as to believe this? Do some people really think that on the conservative - liberal continuum Hillary Clinton is the same as Bush or Rubio? Are they so ignorant of the policy positions of all concerned that they think they would propose and support the same legislation? Propose the same nominee for the Supreme Court?

 

Some people are that blind. We call them Trump supporters. Others really want Clinton to win, so they can remain self-righteous and not have to worry about defending any policies or positions.
