Still waiting for the Democrats to start fighting Nazis
But they wrote strongly worded letters, that's the same right?
The only two who tried to shoot Trump were right wing. I have seen any leftists/socialists try and stop Trump either.
Shooting Trump wouldn't really help? He'd just become a martyr for MAGA and JD Vance would do all the shit Trump was going to do, but also use the assassination as an excuse to deport leftists.
This all under a picture of Hitler hah
If you kill Hitler and aren't organized enough to take advantage of the infighting (or assassinate the rest of Nazi leadership) then one of the other Nazis will just slide into his place. It's not like there are a shortage of potential Hitlers around.
Assassination has to be part of a larger, more organized political project or it doesn't really accomplish anything.
Idk I'd probably still advocate killing Hitler
But it doesn't fix anything.
A hypothetical time traveler needs to build organized resistance and implement a strategy to destroy the the Nazi Party, otherwise you just get WW2 and the Holocaust with a different guy in charge. You can't even be sure it would be better if you replaced Hitler with a different Nazi. Remember, Hitler lost.
Lone wolf tactics and adventurism do not work and can not work.
Even if it would be really funny.
