The “Is Trump the next Hitler?” debate misses his sinister parallels to another 20th-century European tyrant.

If Last Week Tonight did a 34-minute segment on me, I would simply go into hiding and never return.

This is a good thread. Worth a read.

It's hard to help Americans left behind because so much of US identity is rooted in individualism. The average American conservative holds all three positions at once:

— Virtue signals about supporting US manufacturing
— Against raising the minimum wage
— Buys foreign imports because they're cheap

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "I'm willing to pay more for quality products if they are made in America, by Americans, who are paid a decent income." The tweet shows Norman Rockwell's "Freedom of Speech" painting, which is often used to show the tweeter is expressing a brave opinion.

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "MINIMUM WAGE JOBS WERE NOT MEANT TO BE A CAREER. Why does no one understand this? Entry level jobs are STEPPING STONES to better jobs. No one wants to work towards that though."

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "Buy $5 gloves instead of $50 ones. Trust me." The tweet shows a box of "Gorilla Grip" gloves.

The label on Gorilla Grip gloves show they're made in China.

I prefer the French solution, minus the Robespierre.

Every so often there's a caption so funny it makes me glad I'm on social media.

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical

OMG yes. So true.

Also, you forgot punctuation on your post.

Tim Wayne @thetimwayne.com · 1d

Huh. It's weird to accuse someone of using passive voice in the first place. It's super weird to do it when they weren't using it.

He said something about hating your opponents - he said that at the Kirk rally after Kirk's wife called for forgiveness.

Oof. Who doesn't love to see a one shot kill while sipping their morning coffee? I know I do.

How the fuck are Massachusetts police cooperating with ICE? WTF is going on in that state?

Tim Wayne @thetimwayne.com · 3d

The person working in the ICE mailroom should appear on the blacklist right next to the ACABs working in the field.

Tim Wayne @thetimwayne.com · 3d

NO, there is no excuse! You're right!

Tim Wayne @thetimwayne.com · 3d

Oh my god. They didn't get the joke? OMG. THEY DIDN'T GET THE JOKE! They're all too young.

When Obama was president the right wing acted like masked government agents were coming to kidnap them and take all their rights away.

Then Republicans get elected and actually do that shit for real.

The Republicans can end the shutdown TODAY if they kill the filibuster. Enough of these games.

Tim Wayne @thetimwayne.com · 4d

Caller should have pointed out that the Republicans don't need a single Democratic vote. The Republicans are the ones who are keeping the filibuster alive right now. They can end the filibuster rules.

This is all such fiction. Kabuki theater.
