@MirkoS77: I wonder if it's lost on Sargent that such retribution for perceived wrongs is how Nazi Germany fell down the Holocaust rabbit hole.
Godwin's law?
I'm glad you brought that up because the creator of Godwin's Law regrets creating it specifically because modern Republicans resemble Nazis so much.
But when people draw parallels between Donald Trump’s 2024 candidacy and Hitler’s progression from fringe figure to Great Dictator, we aren’t joking. Those of us who hope to preserve our democratic institutions need to underscore the resemblance before we enter the twilight of American democracy.
And that’s why Godwin’s Law isn’t violated — or confirmed — by the Biden reelection campaign’scriticism of Trump’s increasingly unsubtle messaging. We had the luxury of deriving humor from Hitler and Nazi comparisons when doing so was almost always hyperbole. It’s not a luxury we can afford anymore.
Ah man, it's become a parody of itself now. lmao
