Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
That's all the rules!

I think what he does with his power actually makes him worse than Goebbels. Put aside the visual similarities and remember that Goebbels was mostly focused on propaganda and that kind of shit. He was an evil man, but he wasn't the one behind the scenes engineering the actual mechanisms to kill millions of people.
Miller doesn't seem to care much at all about "the message" or convincing people of anything. Dude is just evil and wants to do evil shit and could not care less what people think (as long as he can live on a military base with 24/7 protection).
I hope people don't think I'm downplaying the evil of Goebbels, I am most certainly not.
I think Miller is more akin to someone like Himmler, Heydrich, or Eichmann. He's somehow worse than Goebbels in my opinion. At least in the context of the current situation.
I drew the parallel because Miller was Trump's speechwriter for most of his stuff and the apparently close relationship Miller and Trump have.
Looking through what Goebbels was able to do during Hitler's reign looks very similar to the role Chief of Staff plays in the U.S.
Interesting trivia - Goebbels had an official goverment position within the ministry of propaganda, giving the illusion of responsibility and accountability. The Chief of Staff is not a goverment official, and is not given those assumptions. However, this means he is also not technically awarded the protections of the executive branch. This is why Chiefs of Staff have butt heads with their president.
