Americans agree we're in a political crisis

[Grace Under Pressure 139]

Typical MAGA cult tactic: 

“I’ll be critical of the admin. Bondi isn’t MAGA and loyal to Trump enough!!” 

The reason there’s a political crisis in America is because of Trump, MAGA, and the gullible cult followers. The reason for all of the violence as well.

It’s pathetic. Wake up. You’re more loyal to a man than to your country. It’s proven to be dangerous, it’s not just a warning anymore.

Tim, the term "transgender" wasn't coined until 1965, so Germans in the 20's or 30's could hardly be obsessed with transexual culture. However I have read that Berlin had a significant openly gay culture that centered in cabarets in Berlin (which many perceived as decadent). 

This is wrong, it wasn’t homosexuality they were concerned with per se, it was men dressing up as women and women as men. The vocabulary was different but it was the same idea.

They weren't obsessed with trans-culture, but just because the term wasn't coined until 1965 doesn't mean it didn't exist, and that pre-WW2 Germany wasn't obsessed with them. 

After WW1 and until 1933, the Institute for Sexual Science made huge steps forward for transgenderism; and yes, Berlin was a huge center for homosexual and transculture. 

Starting in/around 1933, Nazi's were obsessed with closing the Institute and then murdering anyone who identified as trans. They were mostly called "transvestites" or a German variation of that.

No, the men were drag queens not transgender or transexuals, because the term didn't exist then. And the women dressing as men were lesbians (as many like to to that today).

NO. They were ACTUAL transgenders and very few had surgery.

Quote

Hirschfeld’s study of sexual intermediaries was no trend or fad; instead it was a recognition that people may be born with a nature contrary to their assigned gender. And in cases where the desire to live as the opposite sex was strong, he thought science ought to provide a means of transition. He purchased a Berlin villa in early 1919 and opened the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft (the Institute for Sexual Research) on July 6. By 1930 it would perform the first modern gender-affirmation surgeries in the world.

Quote

The institute would ultimately house an immense library on sexuality, gathered over many years and including rare books and diagrams and protocols for male-to-female (MTF) surgical transition. In addition to psychiatrists for therapy, he had hired Ludwig Levy-Lenz, a gynecologist. Together, with surgeon Erwin Gohrbandt, they performed male-to-female surgery called Genitalumwandlung—literally, “transformation of genitals.” This occurred in stages: castration, penectomy and vaginoplasty. (The institute treated only trans women at this time; female-to-male phalloplasty would not be practiced until the late 1940s.) 

Focks sake. 

They weren't just "homosexuals" who liked to wear women's/men's clothing. 

It doesn't matter what they were called; they existed. The doctor at this institute called them transvestites.

Quote

Life as a German in 1940s was defined by increasing Nazi control, with the regime using propaganda, education, and surveillance to enforce ideology and control daily life, alongside a growing war economy that impacted citizens through rationing and labor mobilization. The ongoing war brought increasing pressure, impacting civilian life as resources were diverted to the military effort. Meanwhile, the persecution and deportation of Jews and other targeted groups intensified, creating a climate of fear and complicity for many. 

 

Nazi Ideology and Control:
Propaganda: The Nazi regime saturated daily life with propaganda, promoting racial ideologies and ensuring fanatic devotion to the party. 
Education: Education was a tool for indoctrination, with the curriculum revised to emphasize racial biology, fitness, and Nazi ideology, while Jewish professors were dismissed. 
Surveillance and Complicity: The Nazis maintained a pervasive network of control, making it difficult for many citizens to avoid becoming complicit in the regime's activities.

No we don’t have hyperinflation. But there are a few parallels. Here’s one of them: in the 1920s the conservative right in Germany became obsessed with transsexual culture with Berlin in other large cities and it played a big role in the rise of the Nazis as Hitler promised to restore “cultural order”. 
 

Another parallel is the Nazis blamed Jews for all their problems. You guys blame undocumented immigrants and Muslims. It’s always the outsider. 

Actually we just blame liberals, leftists, democrats, communists, and marxists and those that sympathize with any of those type.

And therein lies the problem. These are all being equated with domestic terrorism at the top of the MAGA food chain and the sycophants downstream consume it like it's sustenance. Makes it seem like MAGA hates everyone that isn't in lockstep with dear leader, which is about 2/3 of the country right now.

I will say blaming Left leaning ideas and policies does not equate to accusations of domestic terrorism or hate. Way to spin what I wrote though.

Hitler ran a coporatist state in which he was perfectly willing to interfere with free enterprise in all areas. That was the socialist part of national socialism. Trump is equally willing to interfere in the marketplace. 

[Frozenbeernuts 2,302]

What's funny is Tim almost got out of the liberal thought loop. His brain glitched when Trump won the last election despite the MSM guaranteeing he would lose.

Liberals are constantly surprised by these new revelations.

Trump voters are not.

If someone is right about a supposed anomoly, while you are surprised, you should pay attention to that person.

When it's a whole group of people who are never surprised by these events, while you are being surprised time and time again, they have a much better pulse on reality than you. It's basic logic.

I left the liberal party when I realized that the Trump supporters were right during covid. I swallowed my pride and my ego. I would much rather admit I am wrong about something than continue to be wrong just because it meant admitting I was wrong about Trump.

I was careful with my wording. I was not spinning your words, I was relaying those of people like Steven Miller, who called the democratic party "a domestic extremist organization" and how folks end up believing those words despite initially knowing they aren't true.

Trump isn't, but the people who are coming up with the policy decisions and executive orders that he rubber stamps are hard-right authoritarians that believe in the unitary executive theory. These fockers want a right-wing dictator in the form of an elected President. This isn't some secret, they're doing it in the open and MAGA is cheering it on. It's all laid out in Project 2025, which is quickly becoming reality despite the many claims from MAGA that Trump had nothing to do with it and disavowed it.
