20 years from now, if the NY Times is still publishing, they will run op-eds saying “If only the GOP would nominate sensible centrists like Donald Trump instead of X who is literally Hitler”.

The only parallel is that both are nationalists, But any other similarity ends there. Hitler was a diabolical madman. Trump is a great American who has no mission to conquer foreign lands for America or to set up extermination camps.

More slight of hand by NR. Those unhinged faux conservatives are truly Classical, true conservativism’s enemy. Pay them no mind except to laugh at them publically.

To liberals, everyone to their right is Hitler.

I’m Hitler.

Hitler was not a Nationalist, a Nationalist respects other nations, Hitler wanted basically his version of the EU for Europe.

No. It was not the point of the article. It was NR slight of hand. Destroying with coyness. Knowing many would not get it.

NR is the enemy!

I thought it was great. I thought it was funny. They pointed out that the comparisons are absurd, and did it with humor.

But opinions vary.

20 years from now elections in the US will be as meaningless as the sham elections in Red China currently.

Yes. And you, unlike many, may be a subtle thinker.

But that is not NR’s hope don’t think.

No so! There are lots of similarities.

Hitler wore shoes. Trump wears shoes.

Hitler ate food. Trump eats food.

Hilter breathed air. Trump breathes air.

There may be even more similarities.

Hitler was a vegetarian. Trump likes meat.

Conservatives never seem to learn. Responding to leftist name calling with detailed analyses and emotional denials (”No, he’s not a Nazi!”) is a lost cause, designed to keep us always on the defensive.

He started as a Nationalist. He developed into a diabolical monster.

When you first start listening to Nazi propaganda, it can be quite confusing as you may be led to believe Hitler was a sympathetic figure. It can be quite convincing. And there are still people that push that garbage. All one need ask of these bastards is “What was the result?”. If they don’t acknowledge that Hitler’s grand scheme, grand experiment was a total complete devastating failure, they deserve to be called crazy as in truly nuts, or otherwise ignored and shunned.

The same happens when one starts to read the Satanic Bible, the account of Lucifer, the “Original Rebel”. You read a few chapters and it is written so deceptively as to make one feel ‘Sympathy for the Devil’. All one need ask is “What was the result?”. The answer is ‘Death’. Any more takers for Satan?

The same happens when you hear Muslims arguing about Mohammed and Jesus. They argue that Jesus could not have been the Prophet of Allah because God would never allow his Son to be killed? Ask them if they ever heard of the Resurrection. Ask what the result was, ‘Victory over the Devil and his jealous Sentence of Death’. The Muslims are misguided, they have no understanding of the Messiah and the Resurrection. They view everything in Earthly terms including a reward of 40 virgins. But their propaganda is a closed system, else it collapses. The Resurrection annihilates all their ideology. They can’t cope with its truth so they ignore it or deny it.

Yeah, Hitler was a nationalist early on, he deceived a lot of Germans who should have known better. The Left is trying to paint Trump as a Hitler but Trump’s whole life is a contradiction to their irrational claim. That they would stoop to Hitler comparisons means they’ve got nothing else.

As Bannon says let’s encourage these Leftists to stay on the message they’ve chosen, it makes them look foolish. That’s good for the Trump movement.

Trump is Hitler? Yep, sure.

Speak in terms of ideology. See #17.

NYT Nixon: “Dangerous and Crook”
Reality: He saved Israel by re-supplying them after ‘73 war.

NYT Ford: “Clumsy and a doof”
Reality: A REAL war hero during “Halsey’s Typhoon” in WW2

NYT Reagan: “He is going to start WW3”
Reality: Prevented WW3

Hitler was all about ‘the poor persecuted Germans, the Versailles Treaty, the Jews”.

Compare and contrast his early rhetoric with that of the BLM folks.
