I look forward to never hearing the name Trump again.

[-] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 54 points 11 months ago

Unfortunately I don't think we will ever stop hearing his name, Hitler has been dead for almost 80 years and we still hear his almost daily.

[-] Baphomet_The_Blasphemer@lemmy.world 35 points 11 months ago

Yeah, but as fucked up as it is to say, Hitler actually accomplished something with his time in power worth talking a about.

[-] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 30 points 11 months ago

Trump packed the Supreme Court and did irreversible damage to our election process and radicalized half the nation, just because the wave hasn't hit the shore yet doesn't mean he didn't do any damage. The damage he did will be unfolding itself for a lifetime, give the dust some time to settle and then evaluate what he "accomplished".

[-] PeleSpirit@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

Again, it wasn't half the nation, it was around 36% of voters.

[-] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

People forget (or don’t understand) that ‘half the vote’ isn’t half the people.

Radicalizing the nation, sure, but I'd say thay packing the court was more on ~~Mitch McTurtle~~ Moscow Mitch. And an equally big problem seems to be all the positions they managed to snag in local elections. That one will also take a while to fix...

Yeah. He killed Hitler. It's like....the one good thing he did. Any other accomplishments he may have had are rendered null and void by the atrocities he committed.

[-] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 5 points 11 months ago

He also killed the guy who killed Hitler, so there's that

[-] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Donny’s too much a coward to take that path, even if it’s where his hero’s footprints lead him

[-] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

Hitler was much more impactful though, he is directly responsible for the deaths of tens of millions and a war that devastated countries around the globe.

Trump is a corrupt politician who was too incompetent to accomplish what his handlers wanted. He wants to be a Mussolini, he just isn’t capable.

[-] StinkySnork@kbin.social 4 points 11 months ago

That can't happen soon enough.
