It's hard to believe anyone would let him near the microphone at a presidential rally.

Is it possible that he was trolling them? Because that would truly be funny.

He’s a roast comic. It’s definitely at least a partial troll.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

His entire schtick is saying stuff that is out of bounds.  He doesn't belong anywhere near the stage of any event that is remotely serious.

Hitler literally rose to power democratically.

Not really.

It would be a very long post.

Basically he lost in his only bid for political office. Yes the Nazi Party had the most representatives in the Reichstag however far from a majority. The only reason Hitler was appointed Chancellor was because of the insistence and backing of the wealthiest industrialists in Germany at the time.  And of course there was nothing democratic about the way he seized dictatorial power after that.

People often forget that the Weimar Republic was only 13 years old when this all happened. It was incredibly feeble to begin with and both the Communists and Fascists were attempting to destroy it from the beginning. It was not an established democracy by any means.

That's fine no need to make it super long. Like I get that point of view but even the reason he was in that position was due to a democratic process even legitimizing him enough.

Yes you can argue what it means to be a democracy there, and I can see your point that it wasn't like the country voted to have enough nazis to make it be that way directly and of course what he did after was undemocratic AF but the Reichstag parties coalition voted on the enabling power (and still did every 4 years after but obv only they were the only legit party), which was still pretty democratic (or at least following the results of a vote, and not all were nazis). Hell all parliamentary groups do that to this day to make a coalition. They very effectively used the tools given to them.

I guess in my opinion, they used the guise of the democracy they were in to legitimize themselves, and they secured enough votes in the reichstag to give those powers by using not only fear and intimidation, but also making concessions and dealmaking to get his way.

I mostly agree.

I guess my main issue is that typically the scenario in which someone is saying 'Hitler gained power democratically' is when they are warning that someone they dislike politically is going to do the same.

In reality the set of circumstances for Germany post WWI and barely a decade into a democratic form of government that was under attack from the beginning was incredibly unique circumstance and nothing at all like our current situation or that of many other long tenured democracies.

I read somewhere that they played Dixie at Trump's hate rally when Byron Donalds was taking the stage. Can't find a video of it, but man...

It's always good to be reminded of things . . .

There's some other great one's but very triggering for #blueaongE, so I have refrained.

Yes obviously. He’s doing exactly what you would expect in that situation, trying as hard as he can to get attention for himself and hopefully lock in a long term grift based on MAGA martyrdom.

Isn't a roast comic typically supposed to roast an individual? Seems like this guy was trying to roast everyone but white and Asian people.
