Even after Rudy’s lawsuit in Pennsylvania was thrown out for lack of evidence, Trump is still claiming his people have found hundreds of thousands of fraudulent ballots, “enough to flip at least 4 states” and hand him victory. So “courts and/or legislatures” should intervene.

Like Hitler, Trump is asserting there is no objective truth. Only that which he says is the truth.

The right wingers would never read that.

Where does the Patriot Act and Invasion of Iraq fit in to that narrative?

You think Bush should be on this discussion as well?

That is right out of the autocrats handbook and the soon to be former autocrat wannbe in chief is just following that playbook. His acolytes are too dumb and/or gullible to see that.

Just look at the posts of dutch and oracle who keep referring to the mountains of evidence even though none has been produced.

Another random statement by butler. He is contented to see Trump obstructing true Democracy in any manner and preventing the smooth transition to a Biden / Harrison Presidency!!

One of Hitler's first acts was to make German towns erect a billboard/poster in the centre of town where "crimes committed by jews" were to be posted for all to see. Trump's first state of the union he said he'd create a government office to document "crimes committed by immigrants".

Sleepy Joe might find a copy in his stocking this Xmas, though...

Here is Donald Trump on February 3, 2016 after he lost the Iowa caucuses to Ted Cruz: "Based on the fraud committed by Sen. Ted Cruz during the Iowa caucus, either a new election should take place or Cruz results nullified. Ted Cruz did not win Iowa, he stole it."

So according to him, all his losses are due to fraud but all his wins are legitimate." This is the charlatan millions have fondly embraced. Just like millions embraced Hitler right till the bitter end.

Clinton literally pointed this out in one of the debates. She had him pegged completely.

Another parallel recently struck me. I was tuned in to Mark Levin (who still doesn't know how to pronounce parler) and thinking how like a recording I heard long ago of Lord Haw Haw during WWII it was. Right down to the interludes of patriotic music
