They get it....it's all about being a Banana Republican. They've been practicing their voter suppression plans in Central and Southern America for 50 years....now, bring it back home!

Could you adapt "Springtime for Hilter and Germany" to "Springtime for Fascists in Florida"? I think Mel Brooks would love that, and it would be tragically timely.

(60,186 posts)11. I would leave it as "for Hitler," and just give DeSatan a superimposed Hitler Mustache
The resemblance would be close to complete. Trouble is, with him, there's not much to laugh about. As it is, it took 60 years before Germany could laugh about the car leasing contract:
It was dubbed by a Bavarian comedian, and the translation isn't very well done, but you get the idea. Modern day Germans, of course, were in hysterics, which is a good thing. If a similar thing were done with Trump, about a third of the American electorate would be looking for the party who made the video, hoping to throw firebombs through their windows at 3 A.M. From some of the hate comments we got (the ones we left up), our Trump satires were not perceived as funny by some of the Trumpanzees that saw them.
