100%: Al Gore said the Trump administration was "trying to create their own preferred version of reality" to achieve their sweeping objectives similar to Adolf Hitler's Nazi Party in the 1930s and '40s. www.politico.com/news/2025/04 ...

More: Gore, for his part, cited German philosophers' "moral autopsy on the Third Reich" in the aftermath of World War II.

"It was [Jurgen] Habermas' mentor, Theodore Adorno, who wrote that the first step in that nation's descent into hell was, and I quote, the conversion of all questions of truth into questions of power,"' Gore said. "He described how the Nazis, and I quote again, attacked the very heart of the distinction between true and false.' End quote. The Trump administration is insisting on trying to create their own preferred version of reality."

...

"They say the climate crisis is a hoax invented by the Chinese to destroy American manufacturing," he said. "They say coal is clean. They say wind turbines cause cancer. They say sea-level rise just creates more beachfront property."

here's my version..accurate of course...of a DR report on

something good

While not a complete ban of all dyes, the FDA is phasing out eight artificial food dyes from the U.S. food supply and medications by the end of 2026. This includes Red Dye No. 3, which was banned in January 2025. The agency is also working with food companies to eliminate the remaining six artificial dyes by the end of next year.

OH MY GOD.........TRUMP AND BOBBY JR ARE DESTROYING THE DYE INDUSTRY....

NAZIS / HITLER / MEVIEGH ALL ROLLED INTO ONE DICTATORSHIP

You're going to need to provide links to your claims.

We could have gotten rich off of selling the solutions to climate change. But your party prevented that now the future belongs to the chinese.

As for money being "stolen" from SS, you're getting your info from 2 of the worlds biggest con men, who want to gut SS so they can be richer. Because you're a chump.

But there 13 million killed in Nazi Death Camps.

By only enumerating the minority six million Jews, thereby denying the rest ever existed, you casually spit on the graves of the seven million homosexuals, gypsies, epileptics, and other political targets of the Nazi regime.

Pure scumbaggery.

According to you, that puts you beneath contempt.

Look at Jeff clutching his pearls while simultaneous supporting a candidate that Nazi's think is a Nazi and who pardoned people who attacked the capitol while wearing "camp auschwitz" sweatshirts.

BTW, I don't throw it around casually. I am dead serious in the comparison.

The holocaust did not start with shipping 6,000,000 jewish people to the ovens.

Ignoring the start of the fascist acts by this administration is in fact spitting on the graves of the 13,000,000 from the holocaust.

But of course you can talk about the very fine people on both sides.

#32: Indeed, the Third Reich started with the Eugenics Laws in the mid-1930s, sterilizing 400,000 Germans and slaughtering 300,000 disabled people. This was years before the Final Solution was formulated at the Wannsee Conference in Jan 1942. encyclopedia.ushmm.org

You remember Republicans. They're the people who are so terrified of the government having a list of gun owners, that they made it illegal for the government to create a list of gun owners.

Anyway, these same Republicans are making a government list of Autistic people.
