For now - https://www.huffpost.com/entry/roge...ald-trump-election_n_5f5d3e28c5b62874bc1dd6d2I’m not denying trump is a fascist and would no doubt love to be a dictator (in his mind he thinks he is) but congress still has the ability to reign in his powers. He can be overthrown ( please god) at this election - that’s the difference.
hopefully his evil stain will be a temporary blip a footnote in history.
If the answer to all of those is no, then it is all the more alarming that we are nevertheless seeing a rise. Regardless of whether the conditions are right, certain groups have an appetite for it and are quite capable of engineering it, if we close our eyes and deny what we are witnessing.Are we seeing a huge global economic depression?
Are we seeing hyperinflation?
Are the US and UK reeling under ridiculously harsh economic sanctions after the end of a World War?
Is the nation bitter and resentful at the way it was treated when committing to an armistice?
Is Europe concerned about the westward spread of Communism?
Are large numbers of people starving?
Are we seeing virulent anti Semitism?
Does the UK or US need "room to grow" outside of territorial borders?
The answer to all of those is no, or not really, so it's not the same.
It's harder for people on the right to critically think?
The far left haven't? So the millions dead because of communism don't count?Yes because the far left have never committed atrocities have they.
this kind of inflammatory language doesn’t help anyone.
Have u seen how the minorities have flourished under trump? The hitler comparison is ridiculousThere are obviously some comparisons. Just because Trump and our current car crash of a government are light years away from being as bad as Hitler doesn't mean there aren't similarities in how they've tried to influence the population by blaming minority groups for everything and stoking hate, division and being jingoistic.
To ignore this on the grounds that hitler was far, far worse (which he was) so therefore you can't compare is lazy and dangerous. It won't have the same consequences thank God, but at this rate we're still headed into some pretty dark territory all the same. We've regressed as a society without doubt.
Think he does he was a democrat in his younger daysBy the way I doubt trump even knows what socialism is.
Democrats are not Socialists.Think he does he was a democrat in his younger days
They are, especially now.Democrats are not Socialists.
There is a difference in the way the Left and Right process information in the brain apparently. I’m making a very broad generalisation as we are all hugely susceptible to biases, heuristics and cognitive dissonance. So depending on the issue both Left and Right are likely to have to fight against their instinctive emotional response.
However studies have found that there are differences in the way we think and this is backed up by the parts of the brain that are accessed as shown in MRI scans, where different parts of the brain light up.
Because of this, the Right are slightly more prone to heightened emotional responses and as critical thinking is about cutting this out of the process, it’s tougher for them to do.
It’s really interesting and something I’ve wanted to raise for a while and to then link to some major political decisions - brexit, Iraq, Covid in particular.
I’ll get around to it and link to some studies, hopefully next week. Our approach to risk is one big difference apparently.
You sound like a chauvinist talking about women.
