Everybody You Dislike Is One, Too.

     You know who ate with a fork? Hitler. And I hear Trump eats with a fork, too. Just sayin' -- but you kids better get way better with chopsticks in a hurry unless you literally wanna be just like Hitler.
(Haha-hahahah, I already get along fine with chopsticks, so there.)

      Cory Doctorow has some weirdemoid meme going about Hitler building Autobahns as a way to get more people to support him, and he points out that President Trump is talking about fixing up the interstates, so therefore... Well, he's just sayin'.

     I guess I'm going to need Cory's take on President Eisenhower, who *built* the U. S. interstate highway system (which indeed follows the Autobahn model) as much as that venomous lunatic built the German highways. Was Eisenhower a Hitler-wannabee, too? And if so, how do we square that with him sending soldiers to make sure kids of color got to their newly-integrated schools safely?

      There are always reasons to oppose some (or even all) of the policies a President promotes and follows, depending on how your politics align with his. They are real, actual, elucidatable points of difference. Crazy parallels? That's just clickbait memery, and serves no purpose other than working towards the blue ribbon in the "hates him the most" competition.

      You know who liked his dogs? Hitler. Do you like dogs? DO ya? H'mmm....? You Fascist.

You are overthinking this. Those of us that Hillary referred to as deplorables neither eat with a fork nor with chopsticks. We eat with our hands, and wipe them on our sleeves. I say we merely because, in the end, I held my nose and voted for Trump, because, living in MI, I knew that my vote was important to keep out a person that I was against more than voting for anyone else who was running that I was not a strong supporter of. The libertarian party was a disappointment this year. Perhaps next time. I do, of course, love dogs. God created animals before he created mankind, for a reason. He also loves dogs.

Why not just skip to inevitable: "You know who else breathed oxygen...?"

Ike had a good reason to build out the US Interstate Highway system.

The cold war was the excuse he to build it, but the motivation was from a muddy vehicle trip he took in the late nineteen-teens.

Ingenuity is not the true 'mother of invention', it's laziness.

Ike having to continually dig his vehicle out of mud is why we have that highway system...

You know, Mao used chopsticks....

What is bugging me now is how many people on the right have started supporting Trump solely because the Left hates him. And a roughly equal amount on the Left oppose him because the Right likes him. We're devolving into tribes.
