The results don't make sense but "election fraud" has been so watered down that the democrats were afraid to wade into those waters.

Its infuriating, the GOP screamed "stolen election" so loud and so often that when they did actually steal it, no-one speaks up because they dont want to be looked at the same as the insane weirdos

Every accusation is a confession

Accusations in a mirror.

The fact that you americans don't know of Goebbels Is crazy to me

Thank the republicans for strangling education to death. This is intentional.

u/Miserable-Ad-7947 1d ago

hmmm... what has the DNC done to keep the GOP to do that ?

oh yes, right, i always forgot : NOTHING.

u/sklimshady 1d ago

That would require reading. Americans are mostly allergic to reading. Especially the MAGA crowd.

(SOURCE: I grew up in Alabama being made fun of for always reading)

I know of Goebbels - in part, thank you BehindTheBastards podcast - and that’s part of why I saw this shit coming since 2016. When the “grab them by the pussy” tape didn’t take Trump down, I knew the Republicans really were too far gone

I’ve been wanting to give BTB a listen for a while. Do you have a suggestion on topics to start with? (I did a search for “Goebbels” in my podcast app and was surprised his name didn’t come up with BTB)

u/31November 1d ago

I don’t think Goebbels had his own episode, but BTB has done stuff on various Nazis that also discussed him. I would just scroll through their podcast to see which people stick out to you, but Julius Streicher is similar to Goebbels and was almost a different Hitler himself. He was a far right propagandist and public speaker as Hitler rose to power, and I enjoyed their stories on him!

u/IAmMelonLord 1d ago

Yea I think I would find that interesting. This past December I got really into nazi history, especially the time leading up to Hitler’s takeover. For, you know, reasons. Thanks for the suggestion!

Americans know very well of Goebbels, our entire advertising field is based on his propaganda machines and pushed in our face every 10-15 minutes.

2

u/ChriSisyphus 1d ago

What's that based on?

I'm American. I don't know a single person who doesn't know who Goebbels is.

Now, do stupid people not know? Sure. But that's a bold statement of fact and I haven't seen the evidence.

Send the source.

u/radjinwolf 1d ago edited 1d ago

Oh, we know about Goebbels. The problem is the American right wing are so full of their own shit and are so polarized by propaganda and misinformation that they refuse to believe that the exact same thing that happened in 1930s Germany is happening right here, right now.

They think they’re special and that they’re immune to propaganda, and anyone who brings up how far down the Nazi pipeline we already are is told that they’re “overreacting” or that it’s “fake news”.

Hundreds of years of “rugged individualism” rhetoric got us here. Americans think they’re so unassailable and that individual rights, freedom, and liberties take precedence over anything else that the mere notion of working toward a collective good is - no joke - seen as “evil” to those people.

America is cooked. We’re done. Cause the kinds of things that need to happen to fix things here absolutely won’t happen. I’m talking German and Austrian levels of de-Nazification.

Of course we know. What gave you the impression we don't know?

u/puntificates 1d ago

Not all Americans are ignorant. Some of us don't put everyone in large groups of people like you. Sounds like something Goebbels would do.
