About Trump, maybe we should count our blessings...

...after all, if he won the election for President during the real "America First" movement in 1936, he most likely would have sided with the Axis Countries against the Allies.

If that was the case, we'd be playing "Deutchland Uber Alles" before every sporting event.

1. Or he would have ended up like Il Duce

2. We need to start calling him Ill Douche

3. That's not much of a blessing.

We’re in deep shit, and there are precious few institutional mechanisms left to get us out of the annihilation of our Constitution. Seriously, folks, Putin is winning. He’s already staged a coup, he’s handling Trumpy, and, let’s always remember, he’s ruthless. Murder is just another tool in his toolbox. Killing is second nature for him. And he’s orchestrating the takeover of the United States.

I expect that the existence of free speech forums like DU will soon be coming to an end. Putin doesn’t like political dissent. He’ll show his cards soon enough. The GOP is in his hip pocket. Trumpy’s lips are in a permanent lock on Putin’s schlong, and nothing will pry his lips away. We’re fucked.

5. My point is...

...we can recover from this. It may have been a bit more difficult is we had allied ourselves with Hitler.

4. If we went back 250 years and stayed with England, we'd have healthcare and ended slavery earlier.

But you do have a point about 1936.
