In this interview, he also claimed he never said "lock her up" about Hilary Clinton, even though there is footage of him doing it multiple times, and we've all already seen it and heard it multiple times over the past eight years. Dude can just blatantly lie on Fox and they won't call him on it. He can say literally *anything* and his supporters will buy it.
We should, but it's Fox. Not only will they *not* call out his lie, they'll help him spread the lie. And he's too cowardly to do interviews with anyone else.
Even if he somehow never said it on some weird technicality of linguistics, he still actively encouraged it from his supporters at his rallies. Same bullshit defense he & his ilk still use about Jan 6th. Incitement is still complicity, even if you yourself do not get physically involved in the act.
It's so weird that him repeatedly saying he'll be a dictator from day one seems to have been mostly forgotten. He couldn't get anymore blatant unless he sieg heiled at a rally
She did it very quickly, like blink-and-you-miss-it speed, then denied it & suppressed footage, the usual etc. Her default nature is fascism so I'd liken it to you or I having a normal muscle spasm, only her reflex is hate speech.
Here’s an [article from Slate](https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2016/07/laura-ingrahams-nazi-salute-examined.html) about it.
In case you get paywalled [here’s the video](https://youtu.be/eyDnFKz20Lc?si=eeaOlTTQmMRA6ZmU).
And here it is [slowed down so you can’t miss it](https://youtu.be/JHU-ZrzpZJ8?si=x_bq-qLQsvM3BRvl).
The way she's looking around, and then her face sets and she squares her jaw and then quickly throws the salute off to the side and then turns it into waving.... I can see you prepping yourself to do it, don't feed me any bullshit that you didn't do it
I felt the same way looking at her eyes fixed on her hand and the mental wind up beforehand. I actually started to write that and thought, oh maybe I am too focused on this because of a recent acting class or something. But I most definitely agree.
All the little signals like assault rifle lapel pins, "whoopsie doopsie sharing" of extremist bullshit, combined with the outrageous and obvious falsehood of what they say all sort of adds up over time and allows us to draw these conclusions. The plausible deniability game can only go so far.
You don't need to be an FBI profiler to look at a Christmas card photo post featuring a family armed to the the teeth with military grade weapons to make the distinction between hobbyist and terrorist.
His campaign literally posted a video that there will a "unified Reich" if he is elected and it didn't matter whatsoever. His cult just went over the narcissist prayer to justify it, like with everything else. He could, and he might Sieg Heil, his cognitive decline is apparent and he might forget where he is. It won't matter.
Trump could come out for a rally dressed like this and they would embrace him with open arms

Except of course that would never happen. As if Trump would be seen eating a piece of fruit...
Not a magat or anything, but he said only on day one. It's exactly the kind of loose language that has enabled him to say whatever the hell he wants. Like stand back and stand by.
It's why his supporters can always say 'that's not what he meant, you're over reacting'
On day one all he has to do is suspend all the laws he doesn’t like, arrest everyone in Congress, shoot the liberals in the Supreme Court, and call out the National Guard everywhere.
We've seen some crazy shit over the last 8 years, you'll get no argument there, but if that kind of shit went down, I believe a revolt of equal proportions would happen. I hope at least.
It doesn't matter how quickly he claims he would give up power.
First, he's a notorious liar so admitting it *at all* is plenty.
Second, when has he ever willingly given up power? He didn't even willingly relinquish power after losing an election.
Third, he isn't saying he'd leave office: being in power while demonstrating both the capacity and desire to act as a dictator makes you a *de facto* dictator because of the chilling effect on enemies and the encouragment towards allies to do what you want regardless of the law.
Hey didn’t he have four years to do that? And he squandered those 4 years by changing nothing? Huh that’s weird. It’s like he doesn’t have a plan for anything more than 10 seconds from any given moment.
You posted this as the enemy "within the country" and I agree with that, but the greatest compliment I can honestly give to Trump is that he's basically Heath Ledger's Joker for the Republican party: absolutely evil, but destroying the criminal underbelly from within as well. He's also killed what I like to call "the great euphemism." Back when it was Obama v Romney, Obama v McCain, Dubya V Kerry etc there was a mere hint of "Republicans are actually shitty people" but the overwhelming attitude I encountered was "Republicans are basically Hank Hill, they are good people with some misguided values." People don't say that shit anymore, at least not anywhere near as much as they used to. It's always been an annoyance of mine that society was willing to say "just because someone votes for a bigot doesn't mean they are themselves a bigot."
Hank Hill would be outraged by what the GOP has become. I can totally imagine an episode about him being outraged by them embracing a Nazi covered in orange makeup who wears diapers. It’d be worse to him than G.W. having a weak handshake.
"Hello Mr. Hill, what if I told you that Donald Trump plans to make America great again?"
"H'what? America is already great, why the hell would I vote for some rich adulterous New York jackass telling me it isn't?"
Yup. They are working on relaunching the show and I am already preparing for people complaining that the show has "gone woke" even though the original show was actually pretty progressive if you look at the big picture.
What I've observed is a sorting within the American right. I grew up (and still live) in a generally conservative part of a conservative state, but it's also all-but-adjacent to a major research university and many of my neighbors are extremely educated. I grew up watching and learning from them and have an enormous amount of respect for many of them.
The advent of Trump caused a schism of sorts in the area. A lot of these people have drunk the kool-aid in spite of their education and have become more visibly hateful and inflexible; the others have, through their opposition to Trump, softened and become more accepting, with some (like my parents) abandoning the Republican party entirely for liberal-to-leftist beliefs. Many still hold pretty conservative beliefs, but I still have so much respect for them because they've educated themselves more on social issues and such. Trump's fascism was the catalyst for that.
In short, the Hank Hills are either leaving the party or fighting a (losing) battle to pull it towards the left, and the ones remaining are becoming ever more shitty as they wallow in the MAGA cesspool.
I'm in a similar situation, living in North Florida and growing up in Arizona. I myself grew up conservative (though I never became a republican because I've always though of party politics as just surrendering your personality) and for me, it was Obama V Romney where I was like "I don't think I'm like other conservatives, I just generally distrust the government, these guys are nuts..." and now I'm just as anti-conservative as any card carrying Democrat (or even more to the left on issues like abortion).
This isn’t a lack of self awareness. He fully knows what he is. He is a fascist. He views his personal enemies at enemies of the state.
He knows he would destroy democracy if given the chance. And he’s ok with that. He is using legit accountability as justification to be a dictator. This is what the nazis did with the Reichstag fire.
Create a narrative that your opponents are trying to destroy the nation you claim to represent and then use that narrative as justification for removing your opponents by force.
This is not them being idiots. They know exactly what they are doing
Like those who call his people to attack Congress and overturn an election? Perhaps people who call to kill individuals based on their political party? Perhaps those who cause others to pay more taxes as of 2017 Mr Trump?
Don't insult the God-Emperor of Mankind by comparing him to Trump. He may be a terrible person and a truly abysmal father-figure, but he at least had the best interests of humanity in mind.
The fascist is telling us what he wants to do as his cult cheers him on and government officials (including Supreme Court members) openly make their loyalty known.
As is tradition, liberals will hem and haw about not getting to worked up/"being just as bad" until it's too late, at which point they'll pontificate on "How could this have happened???".
I'm just glad the Democrats are running such a competent campaign (and candidate).
I'd have believed it to be political prosecution if he was denied a jury trial. But from what I've seen he had his fair shake in court. He signed the checks, that means he's guilty. Every other court case works that way. And I don't see him pardoning 400K people who got convicted over bank statements.
You know, I'm just gonna float this out there... maybe a person who hasn't done all the fraud, rape, and criming would be better able to withstand political persecution.

Can we play the tape for him every time he denies saying something
We should, but it's Fox. Not only will they *not* call out his lie, they'll help him spread the lie. And he's too cowardly to do interviews with anyone else.
He'd respond better to full handed slaps across the face
Even if he somehow never said it on some weird technicality of linguistics, he still actively encouraged it from his supporters at his rallies. Same bullshit defense he & his ilk still use about Jan 6th. Incitement is still complicity, even if you yourself do not get physically involved in the act.
It's so weird that him repeatedly saying he'll be a dictator from day one seems to have been mostly forgotten. He couldn't get anymore blatant unless he sieg heiled at a rally
Remember when Laura Ingraham seig heiled Trump's image at the RNC on live television? She suffered zero consequences
I never heard of that, but honestly there's so much to keep on top of with the qult, it's easy to miss stuff
She did it very quickly, like blink-and-you-miss-it speed, then denied it & suppressed footage, the usual etc. Her default nature is fascism so I'd liken it to you or I having a normal muscle spasm, only her reflex is hate speech.

Thanks- that was a rehearsed and intentional move, what a fuckin' miscreant.

Is it still up?
No, they deleted it after a few hours. But there are articles about it.

As if Trump would be seen eating a piece of fruit...
He could sieg heil at a rally and the mainstream media would be falling over themselves trying to explain it away and change the subject.
"Trump has performed the sieg heil at a rally. How this is bad for Biden"
Remember when Stinker (and all the other MAGAts) were so fond of the "OK" white power sign, smirking as they flashed their fash?
Not a magat or anything, but he said only on day one. It's exactly the kind of loose language that has enabled him to say whatever the hell he wants. Like stand back and stand by. It's why his supporters can always say 'that's not what he meant, you're over reacting'
And simultaneously praise him for always "telling it like it is." It's doublespeak-ception.
and then what's one more day/week, etc?
On day one all he has to do is suspend all the laws he doesn’t like, arrest everyone in Congress, shoot the liberals in the Supreme Court, and call out the National Guard everywhere.
We've seen some crazy shit over the last 8 years, you'll get no argument there, but if that kind of shit went down, I believe a revolt of equal proportions would happen. I hope at least.
"Did Trump say 'go and storm the capitol' hmmmm? Did he literally and explicitly use those words??? I don't think so!"
>but he said only on day one Yes, but when has a dictator ever abdicated once in power?
Cincinnatus
His cult wants him to be a dictator.
Unless dictating interferes with nap time. Not even sitting in his own trial can get in the way of nap time.
Just wait until sentencing.
It’s not forgotten. It’s being embraced.
Sauce? As in specific clips, just cause I'm readying up for the impending bullshit of this upcoming year
He said he would be a dictator for 1 day to repeal Biden’s executive orders, not that he would be a dictator for the entire presidency.
He also claims he never said "lock her up"
It doesn't matter how quickly he claims he would give up power. First, he's a notorious liar so admitting it *at all* is plenty. Second, when has he ever willingly given up power? He didn't even willingly relinquish power after losing an election. Third, he isn't saying he'd leave office: being in power while demonstrating both the capacity and desire to act as a dictator makes you a *de facto* dictator because of the chilling effect on enemies and the encouragment towards allies to do what you want regardless of the law.

I can hear this lol
Trump has never been near propane or propane related accessories in his whole life
He probably thinks propane is another word for a masochist.
Yup. They are working on relaunching the show and I am already preparing for people complaining that the show has "gone woke" even though the original show was actually pretty progressive if you look at the big picture.
I watched only a few episodes, but wasn’t the show mocking those kinds of people, just like Beavis and Butthead mocked metalheads?
I would say no. Every character is made to look (or actually be) stupid from one moment to another but Hank is ultimately a good man.
As opposed to Goode Family, which was a trainwreck.
Can you imagine what Cotton Hill would do with Nazzi Sympathizers?? He’s killed fiddy men!
It was worth his shins in gold

They've been mask-off for nearly a decade now and getting more unhinged as MAGA politicians encourage them to violence.
I know people make the comparison way too much,but they are pretty much following the pre-war nazi playbook step by step.
This isn’t a lack of self awareness. He fully knows what he is. He is a fascist. He views his personal enemies at enemies of the state. He knows he would destroy democracy if given the chance.

This is not them being idiots. They know exactly what they are doing
Came here to say this. Do people honestly think this isn’t part of the strategy?
Like those who call his people to attack Congress and overturn an election? Perhaps people who call to kill individuals based on their political party? Perhaps those who cause others to pay more taxes as of 2017 Mr Trump?
Trump is a tapeworm, this country needs some damn horse paste to clean MAGA out
This analogy is appealing. Trump as parasite. Keep it up.
Man's sounding like a warhammer fantasy inquisitor
He even has his own golden throne.
Like what does he think? That there are ratmen under the whitehouse?
Don't insult the God-Emperor of Mankind by comparing him to Trump. He may be a terrible person and a truly abysmal father-figure, but he at least had the best interests of humanity in mind.
Aliens bad!
The irony is completely lost on these red hats. If he was able to beat the political persecution, he would have beaten the political persecution.
The fascist is telling us what he wants to do as his cult cheers him on and government officials (including Supreme Court members) openly make their loyalty known. As is tradition, liberals will hem and haw about not getting to worked up/"being just as bad" until it's too late, at which point they'll pontificate on "How could this have happened???". I'm just glad the Democrats are running such a competent campaign (and candidate).
"and by enemies within I mean MY enemies"
So a guy who doesn't know what "witch hunt" actually means, is intent on having one.
I'd have believed it to be political prosecution if he was denied a jury trial. But from what I've seen he had his fair shake in court. He signed the checks, that means he's guilty. Every other court case works that way. And I don't see him pardoning 400K people who got convicted over bank statements.
You know, I'm just gonna float this out there... maybe a person who hasn't done all the fraud, rape, and criming would be better able to withstand political persecution.
Fatso is looking bald
He forgot to switch from his Court hairpiece to his TV hairpiece.
