Comedian Louis C.K. recently made headlines with his invocation of Godwin's Law, comparing Donald Trump to one of the most hated men who have walked the earth: Hitler. The comparison has already been made, many times, in regard to Trump's White House bid. He's rather Nazi-ish and Hitler-like in tone.
Many would agree this is an image problem that the front runner does have due to his over-the-top, un-politically correct ramblings on the stump, and having supporters at campaign rallies pledge a vote adds a creepy visual to go along with the Hitler comparisons:
However, the overuse of claiming an opponent is like Hitler has made the comparison laughable, as Godwin's Law states, "If an online discussion (regardless of topic or scope) goes on long enough, sooner or later someone will compare someone or something to Hitler or Nazism." For this reason alone, it is a lazy method of taking a cheap shot at someone you don't agree with. Enter Louis C.K. and his recent email to followers:Here’s the CREEPY video of Trump making supporters SWEAR to vote for him!! https://t.co/DEXC3AdhiV pic.twitter.com/ujXDGnhEaz— Right Scoop (@trscoop) March 5, 2016
P.S. Please stop it with voting for Trump. It was funny for a little while. But the guy is Hitler. And by that I mean that we are being Germany in the 30s. Do you think they saw the shit coming? Hitler was just some hilarious and refreshing dude with a weird comb over who would say anything at all.
And I’m not advocating for Hillary or Bernie. I like them both but frankly I wish the next president was a conservative only because we had Obama for eight years and we need balance. And not because I particularly enjoy the conservative agenda. I just think the government should reflect the people. And we are about 40 percent conservative and 40 percent liberal. When I was growing up and when I was a younger man, liberals and conservatives were friends with differences. They weren’t enemies. And it always made sense that everyone gets a president they like for a while and then hates the president for a while. But it only works if the conservatives put up a good candidate. A good smart conservative to face the liberal candidate so they can have a good argument and the country can decide which way to go this time.
Trump is not that. He's an insane bigot. He is dangerous.
He already said he would expand libel laws to sue anyone who "writes a negative hit piece" about him. He says "I would open up the libel laws so we can sue them and win lots of money. Not like now. These guys are totally protected." He said that. He has promised to decimate the first amendment. (If you think he’s going to keep the second amendment intact you’re delusional.) And he said that Paul Ryan, speaker of the house will "pay" for criticizing him. So I'm saying this now because if he gets in there we won't be able to criticize him anymore.
Please pick someone else. Like John Kasich. I mean that guy seems okay. I don't like any of them myself but if you're that kind of voter please go for a guy like that. It feels like between him and either democrat we'd have a decent choice. It feels like a healthier choice. We shouldn't have to vote for someone because they're not a shocking cunt billionaire liar.
We should choose based on what direction the country should go.
FYI, Mr. C.K., Kasich isn't the choice to usher in a season or two of conservatism to balance out the uber-progressive past eight years. Ted Cruz would be a much better candidate to support and promote if you are going to stray from the progressive pack. Think of Cruz support as a more "liberal" choice, voting for freedom from an overbearing and overly restrictive government.
