Lincoln Project video equating fascist antifa goons with WWII troops

#21

Lucky is at least addressing the nugget of my point.
The video did two things that might offend: it compared today's protestors to yesterday's soldiers and it compared Trump to Hitler.
Are you offended by the first or by the second?
I am a bit offended myself about the soldiers but we have to remember that everyone and their mom wants to be compared to those guys. We should want people to aspire to be like them. It'd be a waste of time to get worked up over every time they are compared to a modern person.
But if you're offended for the second reason, you have to show that Trump's not comparable to Hitler. Lucky tried valiantly to show this, but not convincingly. The Chinese today may operate their economy like fascists, but they came to power in the absence of a free society and in the absence of free elections. Hitler and Mussolini both came to power in (mostly) free societies with free elections. Hitler had his goons set fire to the Reichstag to get an emergency declared. Trump was clearly hoping to do something very similar on January 6th. Have goons do it for plausible deniability, but the end is the same: overturn the Constitution through treachery and violence at the seat of power.
My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.
