[@lollorosso4675]

The polls pro Trump are damning for the American people, even when compared to the numbers in Germany in 1932 and 1933 (I.e. the last election before A.H.’s dictatorial reign). The NSDAP received 33.1% of votes in 1932. In 1933 - with Hitler already installed as Chancellor - after his stormtroopers had orchestrated months long campaign of violence against the followers of all parties not aligned with the NSDAP - after months of relentless propaganda and repression still only 43.9% of Germans voted for the NSDAP. We all know the horrendous results of this vote. Now compare this number and circumstances to the US today. It appears that today a far greater percentage of US American voters is willing to submit to a dictatorship, even without being pressured into it, even when they should know full well that what happens now could mirror what happened then. There is no excuse for pissing away your freedoms and the wellbeing of minorities and your neighbors and allies like that. Not one. One additional lesson to be learned for. Germany’s example is, that history will not distinguish between the 43,9% voting for Hitler and the 56,1% who did not vote for him. This is for good reason, because those 56,1% did not do enough to stop him. History (if there is going to be one) will not look kindly upon all of you.

How many things did Trump before his election say he'd do and people were saying "he's just joking, he would never actually do that", and then he went and did exactly as he said. Don't think Trump wouldn't do something he said, just because i'd be completely insane to do so. And to be honest, from Trumps point of view, if you have no interest whatsoever in other people, becoming a dictator is actually quite logical, it's the only way he can get out of all the trouble he has put himself in.

There are millions hiding under rocks, just waiting for the opportunity, and someone to turn them loose on the rest of us. The damage he caused, despite not getting re-elected, is astounding.

[@michaedove3562]

Absolutely true. The damage he did to our election process alone is astounding.

[@ryand1404]

So true! Bad people have always been hiding in plain sight. They just need the right conditions to act, when the normal moral order turns into immorality. Trump and the MAGAs are like bats, who were waiting for the perfect nighttime, so that they could fly.

[@BLK-LA]

This is mostly due to the recent acceptance of collaboration between the WP, WN, WS camps and the larger 'right' or conservative movement. Trump allows those ideologues in and the team is on board due to their xenophobia and an injected victim complex.

[@BigHunt206]

​@@michaedove3562You mean the exposure of how fraudulent the election process can be

[@rdiddyspace1708]

some of those guys "hiding under the rocks". showed up in force on Jan. 6 ( a normal work day) to storm the US Capitol and prevent certification of the election results cast by millions of law abiding voters. remember that next time when someone say it wasn't a big deal what happened that day.

Why does "Thank you Canada, good luck with everything" sound ominous? Am I missing something? I only want good things for Canadians! 🇨🇦 ❤️

[@eatingketchupchips9567]

@@JillKnapp idk how much he's following our news, but right now Canada is trying to prevent America from continuing to monopolize the entertainment and tech industries, and syphine canadian money into the US economy with no return to our economy - so we're taxing these compnaies higher now to essentially sell their product to Canadians, or the government is only approving international deals like CTV with NBC (CTV owns the Canadian streaming rights and is paid by Canadian advertisers and subscribers for this content, therefore the profits stay within our country) As a result of trying to implement higher taxes on facebook and instagram, zuckerburg denied canadians access to the news as punishment to try to get them to roll it back. Essentially, Canada wants to charge a tax on these non-physical products being sold across the internet border by these tech and streaming monopolies - but want to offload the tax to the companies, instead of the canadian consumer.

[@DannyKlimt]

Frankenstein's monster in Mary Shelley's book was actually very educated. In the movies it was always mistakenly portrayed as stupid. I'm just explaining this for Trump, if he reads the comments, because he's never held a book in his hands except a Bible upside down.

[@marjoriegarland2798]

Correction! "I apologize for saying 'Frankenstein's monster,' like a dickhead, I just have some very negative people in my life I have to cater to..."

This Canadian is a very happy girl this week since you fixed the YT issue. Thanks for setting CTV straight and addressing this for us Seth!

[@gorak9000]

CTV has been dicks about that kind of thing for years now. Back in like 2010 they were lobbying for cable companies (and thus cable consumers) to pay them to carry their network, when they're available over the air for free.

[@TMercan31]

[@camelsheit_on_the_walls446]

I'm an European. My home country Norway is far from being a utopian paradise, but also far from being a despotic dictatorship, which is more than can be said about the South American country where I currently reside. And which is also more than can be said about USA, much much more, _should trump ever be allowed back into the White House._ I am fearing that South American authoritarian regimes will become peanuts compared to a trumpian Banana Republic (or should we say Covfefe Republic?). I am dead serious. And no one, of the rational part of the world that is, wants to see that become reality, for obvious reasons. As even many US citizens point out every so often; *_what happens in USA affects us all._* Democracy's survival, worldwide, is at stake, and out little planet can hardly afford a US fascist regime that does NOT take climate change seriously. In other words: trump *_needs_* to be made an example of, and face and taste the justice and accountability he deserves, the same being the case as regards all his co-conspirators and enablers. Your country needs it, USA, and so does the rest of the world. While we foreigners definitely are wishing you all the best, dear good sensible people of USA, we are really wishing us all, all the best. I might be "just" a Norwegian onlooker, but I have an American boyfriend, and I have an aunt who is one of the far too many trumpetrified ones all across the globe who've trumped themselves apart from their families, and my closest ones and I are directly affected by how the pathetic authoritarian "government" where we live (Bolivia) caved in to the pressure of anti-vaxx movements, same movements who let themselves be inspired by trump himself, trump and his grotesque mishandling of the pandemic. There are bound to be countless of cases similar to mine, of World citizens outside of the US who have their own personal (if not sheer existential) reasons for needing to see real justice being served to trump & Co. This is global, folks. To a degree where it almost feels/seems unjust that only US citizens can vote, over yonder in the world's most influential country. *Best wishes!* 💙 💙 💙 💙 🇧🇻 ❤️ 🇺🇸 ⚖️

I'm actually surprised that Hannity asked Trump a follow-up question. Of course, he led Trump to the desired answer, and still got a horrible one. And how can they call it a Town Hall when it's just an interview in front of an audience?

[@antondovydaitis2261]

Because there were supporters to applaud him.

Being a dictator is a lot like eating chips. You really can’t do it just once.

[@jeschinstad]

It's because of the things you have to do in order to become a dictator. It's sort of like how socialist revolutions never turn into socialism, because the revolution itself is to anti-socialist that once you get the power, you have to keep the power just to avoid consequences.

[@gelmann2]

Do you Donald Trump, in any way, have any plans whatsoever if reelected president to abuse power, to break the law to use the government to go after people ? ,' Hannity asked Trump. 'You mean like they’re (the Democrats) are using right now?' Trump responded

[@suezbell1]

On day one he declares all laws he doesn't like null and void. Problem solved.

[@elaexplorer]

Pretty sure he's saying he's going to off everyone that opposes him that first day so that no one else will.

[@nonya.bizness]

​@suezbell1 give trump one HOUR as dictator and he'll use it to declare himself dictator for life. and he'll say "i can do that because i'm dictator", and he wouldn't be wrong.
