https://www.tmz.com/2021/01/10/arnold-schwarzenegger-message-on-capitol-riots

Arnold Schwarzenegger just delivered a stirring message to the country, warning people, remnants of Nazi Germany that he saw have a striking similarity to what we all just saw.

Arnold displayed the Conan sword and used it as a metaphor to describe how the United States can triumph over the Capitol rioters who want to tear this country apart. You gotta hear his description ... it rings true.

The former Cali Guv, who was born in Austria 2 years after the Nazis lost WWII, compared the Nazis to the rioters.

He talked about Kristallnacht -- The Night of Broken Glass -- where the Nazis went on a rampage against the Jews in 1938 and then said the Proud Boys were the Nazi equivalent. He says last Wednesday was our Night of Broken Glass.

Arnold called the elected officials and other leaders who have been empowering Trump "spineless," saying they were too cowardly to stand up to the worst President in our history.

And, Arnold offered something interesting ... an understanding of what's behind the rioters.

He explained something he told Harvey during an episode of "Objectified," where he said as a child his dad was a failed Nazi supporter who lost the war, became a drunk and was physically abuse to young Arnold. He said his dad was like other dads in his neighborhood -- angry and abusive. He's clearly comparing the failed Nazis to the insurrectionists who invaded the Capitol.

if you say so

he was pretty abusive to women. And his claim to fame isnt being a smart governor, it's being muscular. That's not who I want to lead my country

it feels like Saints row 4

I was a kid when Arnold became the Gov. of California. All I could think back then was "what a joke."

Now, as an adult, and especially seeing how he, as a Republican, has responded to the Trump administration, I can only feel that California made the right choice.

I had no idea he absurd women. That is an auto negative on President.

I did say run for President. I didnt say vote because I would have received a lot more info about him and I would have to compare him to who he was running against. If he didnt abuse women, I would say he would deserve the ability to run. Now that I know that? Nope

Arnold wasnt fit for the job of governor due to his lack of experience, but he genuinely seemed to take the will of the people aspect of the job to heart. At least from an outsider looking in, it seemed that while he believed in his own principals, he would go against them if it was clear that the majority felt differently. I had a lot of respect for him to go into it like that... its a shame more politicians cant have that mindset.

The Rock is a centrist. Schwarzenegger is a Republican.

Just because they oppose an attempted coup doesn't mean they're "on the left"

In fairness, he's said that he's not really a Republican and not even all that political. He's spoken out against Trump a few times though.

Yes. People might have been seen as exaggerating when comparing Trump to Hitler from the get go, but the similarities were there. It took germany more than a decade to get to the point where most of the country agreed with Hitler. His supporters also did not care or had simpathy for the caged children and defaulted to saying Obama also did it. After the latest events we can see that Trumpism is a cult and dont really care about law and order or the constitution. They wouldnt mind seeing him serve as a king, especially if it triggers the libz.

Most of the country didn't "agree" with Hitler until WW2 was already underway.

The Nazis never had a majority pre-WW2.
