The Rules

...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

He is America's Mussolini. He just was too dumb to even get as far as Mussolini did

More like Hitler I think. Mussolini offered to crush ongoing communist and anarchist revolts to secure order for the ruling elite and they were happy to give him the power. Hitler got into office democratically by leveraging an economic crisis and then used loopholes and violence to secure a role as dictator.
