a reply to: JinMI

Its the sore losers mentality.. They can't cope with the loss so they throw a million things hoping one sticks. Regardless nothing changes the fact that they loss so let them keep throwing things like monkeys

It is hyperbole, to claim otherwise is sheer ignorance. Keep pushing it though.

To highlight the hypocrisy of your claim:
What party was pushing socialism?


Even still you would not see me calling American democrats nazi/hitler blah blah.

Well, no, because it wouldnt make sense to call democrats Nazi/Hitler. It's the alt-right that has the Nazi cosplayers all excited for Trump.

How do you think these guys feel about what Bannon, of Brietbart; platform for the alt-right, said...

Major Nazi Overtones at Alt-Right Conference in D.C. - Also had people identifying the mainstream media using an old Nazi term for 'lying press'

Just admit... the war on the press is a Nazi shout out...

I'll tell ya what SZ, lets build a bridge.

What is your goal, what is it that you want all of the trump voters and supporters and left denouncers to hear?

I'm sure you don't trouble yourself with logging on to ATS for all these years just to toss out labels.

a reply to: JinMI

To be fair, SZ is actually right. It doesn't make sense to call the lefties Nazis. The Nazis were fascists, a right wing movement, though the lefties do indeed employ fascist tactics of shutting down other political parties meetings.

Perhaps this post was senseless..

I've never heard of these so called nazis until the MSM started making them a boogyman.

We dont have a free press. We have a press that is mostly controlled by leftists, who use it to push their agenda. From my point of view, its the left who seem like nazis on the rise. All throughout the Obama administration he attacked fox News. Were you outraged or worried about Nazis then? After all, they were the only news outfit out there being critical of Obama.

From the NYTimes article you pasted:

"The scathing assessment — delivered by one of Mr. Trump’s most trusted and influential advisers, in the first days of his presidency — comes at a moment of high tension between the news media and the administration."


"SCATHING ASSESSMENT"? Ha! This is sweet and kind compared to how the administration and President Trump supporters REALLY FEEL about Anti-American CNN/ABC/NBC.

Well you talked yourself right into where Hitler was coming from, neither.

Today our left-wing politicians in particular are constantly insisting that their craven-hearted and obsequious foreign policy necessarily results from the disarmament of Germany, whereas the truth is that this is the policy of traitors [...] But the politicians of the Right deserve exactly the same reproach. It was through their miserable cowardice that those ruffians of Jews who came into power in 1918 were able to rob the nation of its arms

I may have been wrong in my labeling but it does not detract from the obvious hypocrisy.

Thanks for the correction.

No it doesn't. The hypocrisy is blatant. Suppose I felt like typing something

I find Bannon's comments in the article linked above to be startling and troubling. The U.S. government has no place telling the media to "keep its mouth shut" (outside of extraordinary cases).

The media's actions ARE extraordinary.

I don't think you understand the US and its media.

Lügenpresse... "Lying Press"... "Dishonest Media"... Straight out of the Nazi playbook. Trump's authoritarianism combined with Bannon's alt-right Nazi dog whistle and their "alternative facts" should worry everyone. This war on the press is not about truth, but about protecting lies... This is a takeover by people who admire tyrants and provide platforms for alt-right, white nationalists.

It probably will get worse in the sense that he will start calling Treason like the Kings did back in the 1400's, not that they will get their heads chopped off but they will probably be jailed due to a new law that he writes and enforces himself.

Then the media will be afraid to report on Trump...even facts and we, the good citizens of USA that voted him in, will be blind sighted by decisions he makes such as going to the doctor and our insurance is not good anymore or we turn on the tube to see his face (a picture he approves of) flashed across the screen with "make america great again" along the bottom instead of our favorite PBS show Anne of Green Gables. Then we get a letter in the mail explaining our mandatory church attendance and a mandate will be added to our taxes if we do not attend and donate, this will all be kept track of with a NEW JOB CREATED BY TRUMP at each church to take roll call.

Then we will wake up to see that our lawns have been taken care of and our bushes trimmed...nice right? Not until we find out that we are now no longer home owners but paying rent (market price) to live in our own homes!

Don has bought all of the land of the USA, in 10 years our children go to Trump University, get our groceries at Trump Grocer, go to church to Trumps church of christ, and have our babies at Trump Medical Center. There is just one search engine...TrumpVista and there are only glowing articles of Trump to be found and websites that he approves of.


(unfortunately some lil trumpets will think this is great)

Over dramatic exaggeration much? And this is the mindset of anti trumpers? Pure fear mongering at it's finest 🙄

Trump may use Fascist tactics to quiet US media attention to his ****ups, but people will just go to European Media and find out the truth.

The www. has changed everything. Government propaganda is obsolete except for the cultist followers that will suck it up from government approved media outlets. The Ministry of Truth....

Of course Trump may attempt to regulate info on the web and even ATS could fall victim to his ego driven paranoia.

I believe this will be a defining period for America. We've been educated on authoritarianism... we fought and killed the Nazi's... we've grown as a tolerant society, recognizing our faults, and bettering ourselves in expanding equality, and practicing empathy.... And now here we are.... An authoritarian president using Nazi tactics.... Now we see what the heart of America is really made of.

Good news, everyone! The Ministry of Truth has issued its first news release

The true, correct story of what happened at Donald Trump’s inauguration

A march on Washington by the media is probably in the works.

An authoritarian / totalitarian government will not be tolerated and any charges to muzzle and censor the voices of the public will be met with protest and backlash.

This government is becoming dangerous with every ignorant move they make to further their ideologies.

Trump's alt-right Nazi-minded supporters love this. Like a replay of Nazi Germany.

I try to stay away from the Nazi stuff.

But, it really is.

I get sort of a chinese gov't vibe from Don, once he starts the muslim registry though it could take a quick turn to Hitler

(i hope i am very way off from this )

Yeah right, hundreds of news outlets controlled by giant billion dollar corporations are all conspiring to push anti right-wing agendas. That'd be a first! Maybe if everyone around you is raising alarm bells, there could be an actual reason to worry?

But no, Trump is training millions of people to ignore every voice except his.
