So just to confirm, you are OK with authoritarianism as long as it is right wing authoritarianism 

In the 1930s, if you didn't support Hitler, the Jews would win and destroy you.
Today, if you don't support Trump, the Marxists/immigrants/RINOs/liberals will win and destroy you.

Same story, different year.

Oh sure, because y'know, absent the Nazi angle it's a totally normal and politically acceptable Republican thing to complain about how shit the US military is against the obviously far superior European armed forces.

Yes, he would prefer to have the generals of the team who took 2nd place, rather than have the generals of the team who took 1st place.

Also, from Ron Filipkowski on Xitter:

Trump: Any jewish American who doesn't vote for me should have their head examined.

Also Trump: I wish I had some Generals like Hitler had.

Hi Bill,

And, more:   “I never am aware of John Kelly lying to me about anything, no.”

CNN host, GOP senator tangle over reported Trump praise of Hitler

Compared to how many lies Trump has told?

The GOP simply cannot/do want to see the problems with Trump.

I can only hope that they pay the price on 5 Nov.

Hi folks,

Once Hitler had the judges under his thumb, there was no stopping him:  The appeals – some more serious than others – reflect the chaotic cast of characters that surrounded the Republican nominee during his four years in office, many of whom remain in serious legal jeopardy

Upon further consideration, I think having generals like Rommel could have good for Trump. ;-)

Which makes it doubly odd that the lesson you're taking from history is that people were right to vote Nazi to make sure the Communists stayed away.

If nothing else, your willingness to sacrifice yourself for the greater good is commendable, I suppose.

Rommel was brilliant tactically, but strategically?  Not so much.

He had a Major in charge of logistics for a CORPS.  He rapidly outran his supply lines and had tanks with no fuel.

I'll take Omar Bradley, all things considered.

Trump has no business commanding anyone.

But you'll still recommend him over Kamala, because his legion problems are nevertheless better than any Democrat. Don't worry -- you'll find some problems, no matter who it is.

Kamala Harris because it's only her or Trump unless you choose to throw away your vote. The Constitution is weak, the Supreme Court sucks, the whole damn system is crappy, I think, but until it's changed it's Harris or Trump.

I'm not sure how you got from "anti-genocide" and "pro-palestinian" to "antisemitic."

During the 60's, lots of conservatives looked at the anti-Vietnam-war protests and assumed the protesters were filthy, America-hating communists, since the communists were on the other side.  That was just as wrong.  They were protesting the war, not supporting communism.

Interesting how the International Criminal Court (Hague, Netherlands) has now defined starvation as "genocide."

Before 2023, Gaza had could not grow their own food and depended heavily on imported food. Most of the at food was donated by international charities. A handful of Palestinian families controlled all imports into Gaza. Hamas charged a 30 percent tax on all imports. Over the past year, fighting has interfered with imports. Warfare always interrupts trade. Now Palestinians trapped inside Gaza are starving.

I would counter that starvation has been a military tactic for thousands of years. In several of his books Professor Brian Fagan describes starvation as the motivation that started several wars.

Some of the correct variations, but what is between those brackets isn't.
