Comparing MAGA to animals

Post by Jersey Girl »

Can I write a hook or what? ;)

In this video short you'll see a variety of situations in which animals lent aid to human both child and adult. While I was watching it for the second time I started to make comparisons in my head of corresponding MAGA policies being implemented (or attempted) by the Trump administration. The underlying thread that ran through my mind as I watched these was that even animals know that when a living thing is crying out or down, you GO to it and try to HELP. Please read those CAPS as total disgust.

I'll make a quick list of each scene and fill in a few with some of what I was thinking. Feel free to copy it and use it for your own similar purposes!

Run time is: heck I don't know. It's a youtube short.

1. Gorilla gently returning toddler who got into it's enclosure to his mother.

Trump admin separating immigrant families via detainment or deportation.

2. Farm animals going to the farm worker who is sitting down against their brush.

3. A kid alone accepting an embrace and snuggle from a kid.

4. A chimp providing first aid with a kiss to a man.

Kicking folks off Medicare among other benefits programs.

5. Dog intervenes to aid blind person navigate unusual or unfamiliar steps.

6. Dog blocks baby from entering the ocean and alerts with a bark.

7. German shepherd pushes the wheel chair of a disabled senior.

8. Golden stops a rollaway stroller carrying an infant.

9. Dog "helps" human push vehicle in flood waters.

10. Cat thwarts toddler's attempt to touch the hot oven.

11. Cat sits next to resting baby, leans over to snuggle or possibly give a lick.

12. Horse lays down near a disabled human who apparently fell out of a wheel chair so the human can mount the horse.

13. Zoo elephant returns a pacifier/property to a toddler from it's enclosure.

14. Cat gives massage to a man who is either tired, injured, or possibly sad or depressed.

Shutting down the VET suicide hot line.


15. Cat helps woman wash a cooking pot in the sink.

16. Small dog (Dachie?) runs to a crying toddler and barks to alert human.

17. Cat repeatedly swipes toddler's hand off the bar of the apartment patio.

18. Dog barks and nips to keep strangers away from an injured or sick human then lays down next to the human.


Let it be known that I did not use profanity even once in this post. Still practicing self control.

Do with the list as you see fit!

Yes, I think it is completely rational and reasonable to claim that animals are more moral than Trump voters, and obviously more moral than Trump himself. He's the animal, in the pejorative sense of the word.
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense. It's also the favored cover for hypocrites.

Re: Comparing MAGA to animals

To begin with, for those of us who maintain our sanity in this discussion board, which seems to be a rarity, let us reflect on some of the most malevolent regimes in history. It is crucial to recall how they often dehumanized those they targeted by likening them to animals. The Nazis viewed their victims as subhuman.

Having explored the history of comparing humans to animals, let's examine the title of this thread by Jersey Girl. As I mentioned, the Nazis frequently likened Jews to animals, which served to dehumanize them and made it easier for those who perpetrated the killings to justify their actions. The Nazis regarded Jews as subhuman due to their deep-seated hatred for them and other groups. This animosity escalated within their twisted ideology to a point where they could not reconcile their hatred, which ultimately consumed their beliefs. What Jersey Girl has done in this thread is truly more egregious than the comparisons made by the Nazis when they likened the Jews to animals. She has taken it a step further and is attempting to define MAGA as worse than animals, insinuating that animals actually have more compassion than MAGA. It seems that Jersey Girl perceives MAGA as being not only beneath humanity but also below the level of animals. She views MAGA as sub animal!

She references videos that highlight the compassion of animals to argue that they exhibit more compassion than MAGA supporters. However, she may not recognize, or perhaps she does, that the Nazis dehumanized Jews by comparing them to rats, monkeys, snakes, lice, cockroaches, wolves, foxes, vultures, and other animals, all to strip away empathy and foster disgust and fear towards them. The Nazis likened the Jews to animals to incite violence against them, leading to the horrific violence that occurred over a decade of dehumanization.

There is no doubt for more than six months, I have been trying to demonstrate how progressive ideology reflects the psychological cruelty of the Nazis, utilizing fear and hatred to persuade progressives that anyone who does not think and act like them should be viewed as an enemy. This thread exemplifies how progressivism perceives conservatives and MAGA supporters as less than human, allowing for a sense of justification in their disdain.

It seems that Trump has profoundly disrupted progressive ideology, leading individuals like Jersey Girl and Bishop Schmo to regard MAGA supporters as subanimal.

It's disgusting, it will not stop, and many more of the progressive cult members will chime in to support Jersey Girl's beliefs, demonstrating that Trump has truly broken the progressive cult, sending their Marxist ideology into a total tailspin.

This is worse than Nazism. Progressives on this board will agree with Jersey Girl, ending up confirming they believe MAGA is subanimal!

Full article: The Significance of Dehumanization: Nazi Ideology and Its Psychological Consequences https://share.google/iqyGuG9zfUoqYbX5j

Before reading the article in this link, let's remember that Jersey Girl initiated a thread titled "Comparing MAGA to animals," and the Bishop of this discussion board, Bishop Schmo, promptly posted MAGA is subanimal.

This article titled "The Significance of Dehumanization: Nazi Ideology and Its Psychological Consequences" discusses the dehumanization of the Jews by the Nazis and how comparing them to animals facilitated the Nazis' ability to perpetrate violence against them. In Bishop Schmo's initial post, he goes beyond the Nazis, asserting that he believes animals are more compassionate than MAGA.

I believe the central question for this discussion is whether members of this board, including Gadianton, Kishkumen, who are somewhat more reasonable and others, will engage in this thread to challenge Bishop Schmo's assertion that Trump supporters are inferior to animals in their thinking. Will they permit Bishop Schmo to feel validated in his Nazi beliefs on this board?

It seems you were the one who took the bait, as you replied just 15 minutes after I asked you to respond.

Those with a clear perspective, specifically those not aligned with the Marxist progressive ideology, recognize that Gadianton failed to denounce Jersey Girl's and Bishop Schmo's Nazi propaganda. By failing to denounce their Nazi propaganda, Gadianton is implicitly agreeing with it!

As I anticipated in my previous post, I was aware that the Marxist progressives on this board would unite, defending their own, even if it entails aligning with Nazi propaganda. From this moment forward, what we will all experience is Canpakes, DrCamnPP, Molok, probably Kishkumen, and Gunnar, coming to the aid of Jersey Girl and Bishop Schmo, attempting to rationalize their Nazi propaganda in this thread.

Is anyone interested in placing a wager on which Marxist progressive will be the next to contribute to this thread in an effort to rationalize the Nazi propaganda that Jersey Girl and Bishop Schmo have shared here?

Let's be clear, this is Gadianton attempting to give Jersey an "out" an opportunity to pretend she was attempting to "bait" conservatives, because he understands what she is attempting to convey by comparig MAGA to animals or less than animals is Nazi propaganda!

Good try, Gadianton! It won't work, Bishop Schmo has already agreed with her. Their Nazi beliefs are on the internet for all to see.

You got played. Neither Jersey Girl nor Schmo mentioned Nazis. You did.

They have, however, pointed out that animals can sometimes display what appears to be compassion, and that humans can similarly display very non-compassionate behavior as a matter of choice. But this is demonstrating a capability within animals that the average person might not expect.

Nazis labeled certain people as animals to disparage them as supposingly not possessing certain ‘human’ behaviors because they were allegedly incapable of it.

There’s a line that divides the two, but not knowing the difference while dabbling on the wrong side of it is one of your problems.

Anyhow, I think that the best recent example of your claimed Nazi propaganda is this social media campaign post from Trump:
