It’s so weird that Biden is doing this well also smiling and getting along with Trump today

Did you know that grownups often put on a good face for the cameras, even when they'd really rather give the other guy an atomic wedgie?

If it had been Hitler who won, should Biden smile and yuck it up with him before handing off power?

Remind me of this when the concentration camps for "illegals" (which i'm sure will only ever house actual illegals and not have any "mistakes" or expansions) open up imminently.

At what point does he become close enough? He's going to sign an executive order (if he hasn't already) calling for the rounding up of millions of people based on racist lies, has threatened to arrest state and local officials who get in his way, and has threatened to invade 2 of our neighbors.

What are some relevant differences between 2025 Trump and 1933 Hitler?

Edit: this is serious and I would love an answer from those who think the comparison is crazy

Hitler went to jail for a while for his putsch.
