They say "History Doesn't Repeat Itself, but It Often Rhymes" but Trump is just straight up plagiarizing at this point...

As much as the regime is disgusting, awful, shameful, immoral amongst many other words that I could go on and on and on about
The Volkswagen made motorcars more affordable and accessible for the average German. It really was a car for the people.
Edit: oh and idk why you put the title “German Fascist Regime” just say it how it is. The Nazis.

Exact same cog image as on the DOGE logo too. Intentionally, of course.

I've been watching a lot of WWII documentaries lately in preparation for how extreme this authoritarianism in our government can get...
I think a *huge* difference in how Hitler ruled and how Trump is ruling is that Hitler knew how to get the German people to be complacent. He gave the German people money, cars, made housing programs to help younger Germans purchase homes. He gave the German people *incentive* to keep him in power by improving their lives, while still getting away with his ultimate goal of mass genocide.
Trump has done none of that. He's trying to both 'cleanse' the USA of 'undesireables' and 'enemies from within' while also trying to grift as much money as possible to him and his technocrat buddies. If he wants a nation of brainwashed monkeys, he's not doing a very good job at handing out the bananas.

With all the ~~DOGE staffers~~ erm, Hitler youth, lined up in the bleachers.
They choose young boys btw for their lack of emotional intelligence, their lack of empathy and their willingness to follow orders without question. You can decide for yourself which group of young boys I'm referring to.

The difference is that that VW was a cheap car for the average German. Today, the Tesla is not a cheap car for the average American. Germany was a country for Germans, so today's America is a country for Americans who can afford a Tesla.
But there is a similarity also. It is that for the rest - then non-Germans and today's Americans who can't afford a Tesla - governments of those countires had and have different plans.

Republicans in this thread, do you want to tell me how what happened with Germany and the VW is different than what’s happening with Trump and Tesla today?
Please, not all at once.

To be fair, they weren't wrong about this one. The VW Beetle is one of the best selling cars of all time, and remained a big seller for decades after the Nazi regime fell. But then again, it wasn't an overpriced poorly built rolling fire hazard.

A) I love the instinct of "oh I bet Hitler did this too...yep here's a picture."
B) what's with fascist leaders whoring themselves out to be car salesmen from the highest office in their country (I know, I know, capture of the government by capital. But like, have a shred of dignity 🙄)
C) fuck me, Hitler had a band? We aren't good enough to have a band too? Ugh
