No, we’re calling it a scam because he promoted it as a plan to help low wage earners and small businesses,doesn’t it though?
I don’t think you know what a scam is. A scam is a dishonest scheme; a fraud.like asking for money for a product while not having any intention on producing said product.
It’s like you’re mad Trump said “Hey, you want a Pepsi?” And not only does he buy someone a Pepsi, but he gets one was well.
They said the wars would end and there will peace on earth would happen under Obama. I’m sure I don’t need to explain what really happened.

“Kuhn-Fricker alerted the principal of the teen’s high school to concerning social media posts from the boy and called him an “outspoken Neo-Nazi” in messages to friends, the Washington Post reports. She flagged social media posts where the boy lauded Hitler, supported Nazi book burnings and called for a “white revolution,” according the Post. “
Ok, he totally isn’t a Neo Nazi piece of shit
The kid mowed a swastika into the lawn of a local park two weeks before he murdered his girlfriend’s parents, among other things.If that idiot you quoted had read articles not from the Huffington Post, the daughter had started regurgitating neonazi nonsense at her parents after dating that kid, that her parents had forced an intervention over it, and that he did sneak into her room over the holiday while carrying a loaded gun.
Reminder that this exists.“I Disapprove of What You Say, But I Will Defend to the Death Your Right to Say It.”
The graphic is false. Weimar Germany was not remotely tolerant of views outside of a particular set and in fact enacted some of the more authoritarian speech laws of the era, often specifically aimed at preventing the nazi party from speaking.When Hitler’s party negotiated a working majority in the cancellery, he used those speech laws, and the president’s emergency powers under which they were enforced, to remove anyone from parliament who he wanted, including many of those whose parties had negotiated with him.Hitler gained power because he was able to - often with some justification - claim that the state was using its power to silence him out of fear that his ideas were correct. He also claimed that the state was using the proxy of far left gangs to silence his followers with violence.He won his power on the back of these claims. Had he been left alone, had his rhetoric been tolerated instead of violently suppressed (which allowed him to claim status as an underdog against the overweening state and the spectre of the hard left) his party would have remained as just another of the many street gangs that were so prevalent at the time.Violence and suppression create sympathy for those suppressed. AS good example would be my own country, where hate preachers in places like Luton were ignored as crazy nobodies until a combination of gang violence and official attempts to silence them propelled them to prominence, galvanised their followers and created sympathy and support for them amongst people who had previously not cared a whit for any sort of islamist ideals.Violent and state suppression of undesired speech create the very thing that they’re trying to prevent. Inevitably, that violence and the laws that powered that suppression are turned on their creators.
Remember when The Nazi party of Germany was allowed their platform and it just fizzeled itself out because everyone thought Hitler’s ideas were laughable? Oh, what do you mean that’s not how it went?This idea only makes sense if you think propaganda doesn’t work. Most people are idiots and believe anything they hear if it confirms their biases. I think maybe 5% of people are capable of saying “hearing this makes me feel good and validates my beliefs…I better be super skeptical of it.”People are not logical creatures. Give nazis a platform and at least 50% of conservatives will eat that shit up.If you give Nazis big platforms and wide audiences to recruit and spread their message you’ll surely end up with less Nazis! /s
