    Apart from the yes men, the political appointees and the fanatics, Hitler was universally hated by his generals.

      Yeah, but there was a difference between the two sets.

      The generals under Hitler saw Hitler as a useful idiot that would fund the military after decades of neglect.

      The generals under Trump saw Trump as a strategic liability, undermining American soft power in a way that undermined their hard power.

      52% odds of winning on 538 is not really favored. 538 itself calls that even odds. A 2% difference is noise from polling

      Also keep in mind that the 538 odds have been heavily influenced lately by right wing aligned groups flooding the average. The polling from higher quality groups hasn’t really changed all that much, still largely suggesting Harris with a slight lead

        I cannot comprehend how it isn’t an absolute Harris 90%+ landslide. Her opponent is literally wannabe Hitler!

          I just was forced to listen to a trio of middle aged white women coworkers call Harris a “disaster” and saying Walz admits to having no idea how to use a gun, the couch-fucker was cordial and polite during the debate and that they sometimes financially struggle and that the orange turd would be better for them than Harris/Walz. And one of them said a family of theirs forwarded them a heartfelt email pleading them to read an article about why his 2nd term would be a bad thing for this country and all they did was chide the attempt.

          If it was only the Hitler thing, it’s a proven method to get people on your side. But nooo it’s a drooling, diaper spoiling, demented obese oldtimer Hitler. Not quite the Übermensch you would expect those magats to simp for.

      His exwife claims it was a book of Hitler’s speaches, which makes more sense considering I don’t think Trump has the attention to read a real book.

    Its obviously because Trump isnt a painter

    He still has time to do that maybe. He will have to quit politics for 4 years, but being extremely healthy means he will be fine

      Speaking of explosive trailers, I’m not gonna finish that thought since this comment would be removed if I did… #PlausibleDeniability
