think of piggie as orban or putin. They don't commit mass murder. They steadily subvert the system to benefit their own party and power, while maintaining the illusion of elections and a free press.
Some high-profile arrests, a couple examples of spectacular cruelty or window-tosses, destroy a few rich people who challenge you, and expect no real opposition after that.
That's the model, not Dachau.
I think he could commit mass murder or genocide though, if he could get away with it and it would be beneficial to him.
I don't think its his moral code that's stopping him.
Agree.
I should brush up on my knowledge of the non-death camp concentration camps, but I believe that Dachau started as a place to throw their political enemies (and was the first one). And a lot of people ended up dying there. But not industrial murder, like at the ~6 death camps.
Putin, and many/most other dictators, are essentially already at the Dachau-level of immortality. Imprison and/or murder your opponents. Easy to imagine Trump getting there. He started SAYING IT yesterday.

the argument in your favor is piggie's behaviour on J6. When the coup was ongoing at the capital building, he stood by, waiting for it to succeed so he could claim the WH. Trump had no instinct to step in as a leader to calm things. He was waiting in the kitchen to see if it would succeed.
same as he told the klan and whatnot to 'stand down and stand by'. Trump would be happy to benefit from the violence if it happens.
If some corner of maga decided to start death squads and kidnapping, trump would likewise not discourage it, but see if it succeeded in helping the pig. If it did help, he'd be happy to let it go on.

"We got to fall back to what one of my boys, Jeff Brown in LA, said! He said, 'Trump has become a verb. The name Trump has become a verb! He's Trumping the Democrats at every turn — playing them like a fiddle!"

Putin, and many/most other dictators, are essentially already at the Dachau-level of immortality. Imprison and/or murder your opponents. Easy to imagine Trump getting there. He started SAYING IT yesterday.
Ok I see your distinction between death camps and general imprisonment.
But I don't see the Republicans sponsoring mass incarceration like Dachau.
I do think the Republicans will look the other way if Trump arrests a few leaders of the Dem party and probably some journalists and continues to sue people and things.
But we've seen how trump prefers to operate, with his multiple extortions of companies and universities, threats against the media and a few key arrests. Rs are fine with that kind of Orbanism and like to see the uppity city folk bend the knee to the country folk. And of course they know that the Pig's actions may help elect more Rs.

Comparing Trump to Hitler has gotten incredibly stale.

I'm not at the point where those orgs will back mass arrests of Dems. I do think millions of magas across the country would be fine with death squads though.
They send big fumes in...They kill all our birds. If you want to see a bird cemetery, go under a windmill. You'll see birds like you never saw, If you love birds, you'll start to weep. They are killing our whales
I assume that the fumes kill the birds, and then the bird-eating whales die of starvation?

A million MAGAs vs. over a hundred million who are not fine with it. Eliminate a million MAGAs and the movement dies faster than it's current rate.

Largely preaching to the choir here, I know, but perhaps worth noting:
- Preventing “just” an Orban is incredibly important.
- I’m guessing that most or all Hitlers have earlier points in their rise where they look like they’ll probably “just” be Orbans.

Was it? If it was, his comments yesterday freshened it right up!

DHS is already doing kidnapping. And there’s nothing that Kristi would do that Petey and a number of other boot lickers wouldn’t.

I have no problem with taxing colleges more / targeting certain ones. Did you see that less woke colleges - even top ones - have been (mostly) spared? Colleges have been leftist breeding grounds and Trump is punishing them for that.
