I'm shocked and don't know what to say.
My friend of thirty plus years moved in with a new partner last year.
She had few options due to three divorces and very few savings.
I've met the chap once, he seemed OK but over handy for my liking. Both her adult daughters have said they don't like him. I thought it was an age and class thing (he's 27 years younger).
It turns out he is an admirer of Hitler and Trump.
I said to my friend well he won't be invited to dinner here. He apparently made the statements at a family party last week. The daughters quite rightly walked out. I'm disabled, my husband not white. My uncles POW. I can't believe she's with him. She was very lonely. Aibu to be shocked or none of my business?

Both. It's not your business but I'd be shocked.

Although for me it would depend on his behaviour more than his views. He's entitled to whatever opinion he likes, (however stupid or offensive they are) he's not allowed to terrorise people over them.

I'd be taking the approach of keeping my opinion to myself as long as he's doing the same

He sounds like a d*ck, I told my dog about him and he was flabbergasted! Liking Hitler should literally be a crime

I think that's a ridiculous remark. Are you a Putin supporter?

Trump is not anywhere near in the same league as Hitler and those who say he is just make themselves look silly.

I think it’s you that looks silly

Poignant? Did you mean to use that word? Trump isn’t speaking his mind - he’s just ranting like a crazy person. He’s no idea what the fuck he’s talking about most of the time (remember the injecting bleach speech?), he’s utterly mental. Awful human being.

I detest Trump too, but let's be accurate. He certainly didn't recommend injecting bleach. I knew what he meant - bleach kills HIV and cancer cells, so probably could have killed Covid, too. I suspect he meant it's a pity that there's no drug based on whatever's in it that could be the foundation of a treatment. Just like current chemos are based on some pretty harsh chemicals. Bleach kills so much that it is indeed a pity that we haven't harnessed the vital molecule(s) into treatments that can be used safely.

He certainly didn't mean that people should drink or inject bleach! I'm firmly left-wing but I knew what he meant.

Sorry, I have NO idea where the dog came from, and if I go into 'edit' it's not there so I can't remove it.

Not the impression I was trying to create.

This comment has made me genuinely LOL. Thank you for a great belly laugh with my Friday post work gin!!! Have a good weekend!!!

Russian stooges are known to be employed to infiltrate Western websites like this and sow discontent in our societies by starting heated arguments. The BBC reported on it. I'm not saying that this person is doing that. I'm saying it's food for thought.

Careful. Accusing someone who is posting in a way that looks like they are a bit or a stooge, or being a bit or a stooge, is worthy of a deletion.

the “person” posting in a way that looks like a Bognor a stooge can say what they want.

In what way are Zelenskyy and Hitler alike??

Didn’t Trump call Zelenskyy a dictator because he’s refusing to call elections until there is a peace deal ? That’s the only thing I can think of.

He absolutely did talk about injecting bleach. I saw the Sarah Cooper video dozens of times.

He is a clown and a buffoon but he isn't funny. You say that you are left wing but you are on here defending him when some posters have compared him to Hitler and supporting his immigration policies which no-one who is actually left wing would do.

So that would have made Churchill like Hitler as well, I guess.

Ticktockk · 08/03/2025 06:54

Hitler didn’t come to power and then immediately start gassing people.

  • He came to power because Germans were fed up with their current economics and living conditions.
  • He set in motion a huge propaganda machine.
  • He made people believe that he could make Germany great again - a fatherland.
  • He took over neighbouring countries.
  • He made allies from other fascists.
You can compare the early stages of this Trump presidency with the early stages of Hitler’s.
  • Americans were fed up and voted him in.
  • He has all of the major social media tycoons in his pocket, they were tripping over themselves to be seen at the inauguration.
  • I don’t have to explain MAGA.
  • He will “get Greenland for America one way or another”. He has said many times Canada should become another state. He wants to take over the Panama Canal.
  • Allies with fascists - remains to be seen.

One invaded other countries, one talks about taking over other counties, and one is defending his country. (Elections are notoriously difficult to hold during live battles!)

Dog is super cute. I personally prefer the dog to most men but that's just me.

She's a great friend but doesn't like to be without a boyfriend. I hadn't seen her for weeks and now wonder if he's influencing her re our friendship.

If she's a long term friend, I would be very worried for her! Especially if he is influencing her to not see you. I can understand why you wouldn't want anything to do with him. I'm also disabled and have two children who are neurodiverse, so I get your reservations.

None of your business, you're just another WOKE!
