Link roundup (because I have far too many tabs open...)

Especailly like the Hillary segment (starting at 1:55). Although the Nazi thing is... Well, real life is overtaking the comedy at an alarming rate:

Trump Supporters Raise Right Hands to Pledge Support.

(I keep thinking that surely it can't be real. But The Slate is not the Daily Mail, you know? I don't want to throw these words around lightly, yet I'm worried.)

And re. debates, then the ones in Flint were interesting:

Flint mayor: GOP candidates were as dismissive of concerns as state was

Flint Wins the Democratic Debate (Hillary Clinton relied on anecdote and Bernie Sanders on principle—but the real story was that local residents forced the candidates to grapple with their community’s particular concerns.)

Says it all, doesn't it?

And finally, because it's a thing of beauty, and oh god, America will never have a President with so much class again:

I have mixed feelings about comparing anyone who hasn't actually murdered millions of people to the Nazis
Same here. It's... complicated. And although there are definite echoes of the 30s in Germany is what we are currently witnessing, that does not make Trump a mass murderer.

It's more - this is worrisome. And looks far too much like fascism for my liking. :(

Worth remembering that Mussolini was the Fascist and Hitler the Nazi; Jews weren;t systematically transported to the camps until Mussolini was ousted.

Trump is a fascist, not a nazi.

Though he may be worse; the NAzis could never have carried out their plans without the help, or lack of opposition from millions who weren't and never were Nazis.

Yeah, there are a lot of comparisons with Mussolini... :(

So here's to hoping someone stops him!
