Now User:Conservative is spamming a guy who openly compares Trump to Hitler as one of his "qualified experts". "I stand by my quote above" Timothy Snyder: Trump's Hitlerian Month. GIGO. RobSZelensky Must Go! 16:24, August 13, 2025 (EDT)

Snyder even did not take his own advice. His explication of his Ohio preacher boy homily to listen for "dangerous words" was "be alert to the use of the words, extremism and terrorism. Be alive to fatal notions of emergency and exception. Be angry about the treacherous use of the patriotic vocabulary".
