“He’s good and bad. People say he’s a dictator. I believe that. I consider him like Hitler. ... But I voted for the man.”

Democrats have recoiled on social media Monday after sharing a quote from an article with The Philadelphia Inquirer that left them unnerved.

“This is the most disturbing thing you’ll read today,” Democratic strategist Keith Edwards posted to X along with a screenshot of the story.

The story’s headline is “Democrats kept calling Trump a fascist, but these Pennsylvania voters thought he could help them pay the bills” and the line that jumped out to some on social media was the quote from a 45-year-old former construction worker from Scranton.

The man said “he didn’t love the dictatorial aspect of Trump’s personality, but thought it could help keep the country out of wars and maybe bring peace to some other conflicts, including in Ukraine,” the Inquirer reported, adding his quote: “He’s good and bad. People say he’s a dictator. I believe that. I consider him like Hitler. ... But I voted for the man.”

Kamala Harris said last month that she believed Donald Trump “is a fascist” after his longest-serving chief of staff said the former president praised Adolf Hitler while in office and put personal loyalty above the Constitution.

Harris seized on comments by former chief of staff John Kelly, a retired Marine Corps general, about his former boss in interviews with The New York Times and The Atlantic, warning that the Republican nominee meets the definition of a fascist and that Trump, while in office, suggested that the Nazi leader “did some good things.”

Speaking at a CNN town hall late in the campaign, Harris said they offer a window into who the former president “really is” and the kind of commander in chief he would be.

Yeah, Trump’s a Hitlerian fascist but why didn’t the Democrats put together a programmatic agenda to woo voters?

Did they campaign on universal healthcare?

Did Kamala focus her campaign on repealing qualified immunity for abusive police officers?

A nationwide public works program?

$15-an-hour federal minimum wage?

Reparations?

An arms embargo for Israel?

Even a stimmy?

You can’t beat fascists by promising tax relief for small businesses. Learn from the history of Germany and Italy…

I don't disagree. There needs to be a major fundamental change with the Democratic party.

However, some of these dumbass voters.... just flabbergasted at reading why they voted for Trump.

Wanted more $ in his pocket and an end to the Ukraine conflict. Sounds reasonable to me but let's make this controversial somehow.

Italy and Germany had way different circumstances. Germany was still reeling from WW1 and Mussolini was letting his lil fascist side come out during WW1.

We have a reality show host who has almost half the country enamored with him. The bigger difference is the media is much stronger for the right than the left. You made that post as if policy alone was why she lost. Nope, everything she proposed helped everyone. America is going to the right. The kind of loss she experienced was not speaking on policy.

That’s all you got from that?

Trump is more like Mussolini than he is Adolf.

Trump is more like Mussolini than he is Adolf.

Truth be told, he’s a mix of Viktor Orban and Berlusconi - with the cult of personality of Peron

That's the important part He was talking about his personality when comparing him to a dictator/Hitler.

You’re doing this thing that liberals do when they refer to “policy” in the abstract.

If it wasn’t clear, the Democrats didn’t offer much to change the material conditions of Americans.

When you have 2 ostensibly neoliberal parties, the party that’s seemingly offering solutions will win. Even if led by a fascist.
