Donald is the new Adolf.

I'm old enough to have known a guy called Benito back when that otherwise perfectly normal name brought up a lot of bad memories for many people. His idiotic parents saddled him with that name because they figured one bad dude bearing it shouldn't decide whether a name was beautiful or not. Needless to say, he hated his parents and went by the name Benny. But sadly for him, when you knew you knew...

I pity the little Donalds of today. They'll have a really hard time in school in a few years.

Even in Florida [...] parents minted just 21 baby boy Donalds last year, at par with the names “Abner,” “Enoch,” “Neythan,” “Ariun,” “Eros,” “Stone” and “Westley,” and slightly behind the likes of “Mohammad,” “Kash,” “Brandon,” “Maximus,” “Keanu” and “Truce,”

I really wanted to see what it compares to, and I was not disappointed! Let's Go Brandon!

Then there's Hitler Mussoline. A man in his fourties, wearing a suit and glasses stands before a white background and a Brazilian flag. The image is subtitled with his mispelt name and title: Hitler Mussolini, Goiás's Municipal Police Director.

This article seems far from in-depth political discussion, which is the stated purpose of this community.

It's a poll on baby names. The result is obvious given this politician's low popularity.

Please share more substantive, in-depth articles on political topics and political organisations.
