Maddow: I’m studying Hitler to prep for Trump

July 13, 2016, 11:51 am Maddow: I’m studying Hitler to prep for Trump

By Joe Concha

MSNBC's Rachel Maddow revealed in a new interview with Rolling Stone that she's been meticulously prepping for a possible Donald Trump presidency.

How?

By studying the first few months of Adolf Hitler's tenure as German chancellor, beginning in 1934.

“What is amazing is the Republican Party that picked him. They had 330 million people to choose from, and they've decided that he is the best one to be the standard-bearer of one of the two major parties of the greatest nation on Earth,” Maddow told the magazine in an interview published Tuesday.

“Like, talk to me, Republican voters! What's the worst-case scenario for America if he wins? It can be pretty bad. You don't have to go back far in history to get to almost apocalyptic scenarios.”

“Is part of you worried we're living through the first few chapters of some dystopian science fiction novel?” interviewer Andy Greene asked.

Maddow responded: “Over the past year I've been reading a lot about what it was like when Hitler first became chancellor. I am gravitating toward moments in history for subliminal reference in terms of cultures that have unexpectedly veered into dark places, because I think that's possibly where we are.”

There is a big difference between Trump and Hitler, Trump can be voted out in 4 years, once Hitler took power, he couldn’t be voted out. Hitler had his own Army made up of Veterans in special brown uniforms, along with those guys in their black uniforms we so often saw in the movies when I was a kid. He didn’t want to build a wall around Germany to keep people out, and his way of ridding foreigners from Germany is not what Trump has in mind. What gets me most about the Democrats is they all possess a crystal ball that shows them the future.

In the world of groupthink, you attack those that threaten the shared complacency of the group as too stupid or too evil to warrant negotiation.

Trump is a genius so Hitler it is.

Do you think when she’s getting intimate with her partner she dresses up as a Obersturmfuhrer?

“Over the past year I’ve been reading a lot about what it was like when Hitler first became chancellor. I am gravitating toward moments in history for subliminal reference in terms of cultures that have unexpectedly veered into dark places, because I think that’s possibly where we are.”

She’s way behind...although one does suspect Ms. Maddow has extensive experience veering into dark places. The rest of us have been thinking about this ever since Li’l Juan McCain folded like a cheap suit.

Dear Rachel, if it’s a matter of historical record the moment has in fact been raised from subliminal to conscious. Allow me to make a suggestion:

Paul Johnson, Modern Times, chapter 3.

What I think is really funny is that she thinks that the ‘Republican Party’ picked Trump.

"Studying" Hitler, hmm? Depending on what Maddow means by "studying" she may encounter some rather uncomfortable similitudes to certain characters active in American politics who are not Trump. And since she's chosen the period shortly after Hitler's succession (useless, actually, when trying to understand the man, but it's an easy read), we'll mention a few that come to mind: control of formal state organs by filling them with political party members - see the every department in the Executive for reference, especially State; use of those organs to suppress dissent and accuse political opponents of tax, racial, and ideological crimes - see 0bama's IRS. Trumping up of charges and arrest and detention of political opponents - see 0bama's treatment of certain Western ranchers. Suppression of books and broadcast programs critical of party operations - see the Hate Speech movement. Street violence against political opposition by state-supported thugs - see the BLM and Occupy movements. Deliberate, forcible changes in demographics to support ideological racial goals in Czechoslovakia, Poland, and Russia - see the Open Borders, the Islamic "refugee" importations, and the illegal immigration amnesty movement. A monopoly on the print and broadcast media by state operators and sympathizers - see the entire U.S. media of the last 10 years. Exploitation of state intelligence materials to support party goals - see Hillary, from the FBI files through the State Department email scandals. Expropriation of public funds to support party members in luxury - see 0bama's vacations, his 40-vehicle motorcades, and Hillary's regal lifestyle. Formation of armed, violent paramilitary movements within the state bureaucracy for party discipline - see the SS while considering how many Executive departments now possess SWAT teams.

Lots to see here, Rachel, lots to learn. Best of luck in your studies and yes, you'd look good in a Totenkopf SS uniform yourself.

... Rachael is an aberration. Here is a fact, firsthand knowledge-— I personally know gay women absolutely in love with Donald Thrump. They hate Hillary Clinton as a phony closet-queer ... She has never been honest enough to live her life in the open, she has hidden behind Bill as cover and Bill takes the heat every time he gets caught trying to get some female affection.

330M people to pick from, really?

I’m not old enough, but even when I reach the advanced age of 35, I will not want that job.

Then there’s all the other people who are not available, due to age, sanity, having better things to do, etc., etc.

I rather doubt there are many people who’d want to be POTUS, bad enough to run. Evidently there were less than 2 dozen, this time around.

The Republican Party did NOT choose Trump. The people chose Trump.

I am telling you, these “lesbos” that look like men, most probably are closer to actual men than anyone wants to admit. I call them Man-Girls. Just like you fellas like to call Lady-boys.

If what she says is true, she will be shocked to see more tactics of the democrats.

Well, I studied Hitler for a completely different reason than Maddow.

As someone that was doing a fair amount of public speaking at the time, studying how Hitler controlled his audience with his cadence, tone and body language was fascinating.

I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that 0bama also studied Hitlers speaking style. There are many similarities particularly during 0bama’s Presidential runs.
