Yep!

It does seem that the internet losers will follow Godwin's Law.
And this is a great example!!Godwin's lawGodwin's Law (or Godwin's Rule of Nazi Analogies) is an Internet adage asserting that "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1"—​ 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.

You didn't even know what Godwin's law was until I told you, loser.

I need to amend my previous post, it appears there were some people arrested, although they were part of group protesting something else.  We could see the cops arriving at the scene from our office, but we are too far away to tell if anyone was arrested.

We actually walked by this location at 11:30, and they must have taken them away by that time because there was no hint of anyone being arrested and there was no longer anyone in the street protesting.

"He or she that resorts to a Nazi Germany or Hitler comparison loses the argument. This is because there is nothing that can compare to that diabolical aberration or person. In addition, usually those making the comparison have not done their homework, and are lazily latching onto to one aspect of the thing they despise."

Two lumps of coal for those who cut and paste the same thing into multiple threads.

Re: Pennsylvania's GOP electors to meet amid fanfare, security

Time out!

It's really not about who compares who to Hitler and what it means.

For me, it's about leadership and governing style.  Of all the styles of leadership and governing (and I'm sure someone could identify several), the one leadership style that I can't relate to, work for, or flourish under would be authoritarian.

As far as government, I believe the ones that are most unhealthy would be plutocracy or plutocratic oligarchy.

If you have authoritarian leadership at the head of a plutocracy or plutocratic oligarchy I think the results are deadly and ultimately doomed to failure.  Right now, I view Donald Trump as a plutocratic authoritarian and I think that's a dangerous mix of personal leadership and governing style.  If any of you worked under that leadership style you can relate to what I'm saying, but if not, then consider yourself lucky.

Here's the thing. Running around and espousing the hyperbolic thought that Donald Trump is going to be the next Hitler is just as ridiculous as what we saw in Washington D.C. with those idiots who were spreading the lie that there was a child sex slave shop in the basement of a pizzeria.

Fake news is fake news. Ridiculous opinions are ridiculous opinions. 

Every word written about Trump and the chance he leads us towards some sort of fascist state is time that should be used to figure out how the hell we ended up with Donald Trump to being with.

- Why do Americans across the board tend to distrust our federal government institutions?
- Why couldn't Democrats craft a message for the white working class?
- Why is the Democrat's candidate bench so weak?
- Why have Democrats been losing elections across the country for the last 6 years?
- Why does this country seem to becoming closer to one-party rule?
- What needs to be done to turn that trend around?

So yeah, let's spend more time talking about Hitler and staring at pictures of overpriced baseball caps.

Re: Pennsylvania's GOP electors to meet amid fanfare, security

Why do democrats lose elections?
Lots of reasons.
Here's one. You don't win by getting the most votes.
Your turn
