Hitler was a very good public speaker. Let’s give credit where credit is due.
Trump on the other hand… Is not.
The current trend in this comments section is full of praise for fucking Hitler for being better than Trump. And if there ever was a better reason to remove Trump from office I haven’t seen it.
Yes, it’s clear a person doesn’t need to be a good speaker to rile up people who want a free ticket to hate. I’d have agreed Hitler was a good speaker before Trump, but now I think we just assumed that was the case because we couldn’t fathom so many people being behind a bad one.
Hitler actually put a great deal of work and practice time into becoming a good public speaker. Can you imagine Trump putting that kind of effort into anything? Even golf?
I mean look at the rest. Isn’t it one of the baffling things about our times how easy it is to appeal to the masses with obviously idiotic takes. Maybe it’s nothing new.
I don’t know about that. Seems like a lot of people like to hear Trump’s speeches. Then and now, there is but one constant: human stupidity in its sheer endlessness.
That’s what’s so disappointing about the current fascist regime. I never doubted that fascism in America would be possible. I looked at Germany and Italy in the 1930s and thought:
“Yeah, I suppose if there’s a powerful public speaker who is able to project strength, that could work. Even though by now everything Nazi is associated with evil, I can still appreciate how they were really good at “set design” to show the appearance of competence and power.”
What I didn’t expect is that all the appearance of intelligence, competence and organization was all optional. Trump is clearly stupid, his lies are beyond obvious, his people are clearly not competent. His rallies don’t project strength. Instead of brownshirts in uniforms lined up in an orderly way, Trump has a chaotic gaggle of fat and/or old people wearing mismatched random American-flag based gear in a puddle near him. How is it that this is what Americans are falling for?

Absolute insanity. This time line is so fucked.
Compared to Trump, sure. But no credit is due.
He was a very good mass murderer, if you feel the need to credit him with something.

The man does like golf though…
He certainly puts in the time. Effort though, that’s debatable. Effort in cheating perhaps.

Also I’m sure Hitler didn’t write his speeches.
He doesn’t even write his tweets, let alone his speeches.
Whether or not Hitler wrote his own speeches, at least he delivered them in a charismatic and competent way.
Trump just ad-libs nonsense.
Yeah I knew it was a lie after line 3, Trump doesn’t speak that well.
Trump is a great public speaker if you consider who his audience is.
Ehhhh it’s unfortunate that you’re absolutely correct.
