TRUMP IS IN GOOD COMPANY

So Kamala Harris’s last, desperate ploy is to go full Hitler. There is nothing surprising about this; as we and many others have said, repeatedly, the Democrats have called every prominent Republican since Thomas Dewey another Hitler. Abraham Lincoln obviously predated Adolf, but the Democrats’ attacks on him as a would-be dictator, a threat to the fundamental human right to own slaves, was a precursor.

Comparing any American political faction to the Nazis is ridiculous on its face. Where are the invasions of neighboring countries, where are the mass murder camps? But if any American party tends toward authoritarianism, it is the anti-free speech, tax them till they drop, regulate everything under the Sun, lock up our political opponents Democrats.

In addition to Trump and the Republicans, there is one other political entity that routinely is alleged to be just like Hitler: Israel. “Zionism = Nazism” is a treasured trope on the Left. Benjamin Netanyahu is routinely caricatured as a second Adolf. And the absurd claim that Israel is engaged in genocide against the Arabs, now conventional wisdom on American college campuses, is a deliberate evocation of the Third Reich.

The equation of Israel with the Nazis, like the alleged equivalence of Donald Trump with Hitler, is entirely mainstream. Thus, to take one of countless examples, this year’s Commencement speaker at Harvard, Maria Ressa, has explicitly drawn a parallel between Israel’s self-defense in the war commenced by Gaza and Hitler’s program of extermination.

All of that is completely insane, but nothing surprises me anymore. I suppose there is a certain irony in the fact that it is the very people who are fighting for freedom and for survival against heavy odds who are tarred with the Hitler brush. Somewhere, Joseph Goebbels must be smiling.

Democrats call everyone but Hamas and Hezbollah — who target Jews for mass extermination, actually do kill Jews, and one can trace their founding to the actual Third Reich — as Nazis.

If i knew nothing of history and only paid attention to politicians contrived associations I’d probably conclude that Corn Pop was far worse than Hitler.

[TheThirdRuffian]

And in follow up to my post #2

And those actually Hitler inspired groups of Hamas and Hezbollah — they said they have “valid points”.

[Bullish]

Democrats? What we really have here is a case of Nazi democrats calling people they oppose Nazis. It shouldn’t surprise anyone, after all they’re the party of projection. If they ever achieve all branches of govt again they’ll be worse than the Nazis.

[Steely Tom]

If Trump was anything like Adolf, the reporters and commentators and comedians who smeared him would have simply disappeared, without trace or explanation.

To compare him to Hitler shows an almost comical level of historical ignorance.

Vote and get out the vote. We need to have our own psyop, unlike liberals conservatives have guns and they know how to use them and they have ammo. We need to show them by the Numbers that voted.

You might be able to intimidate and persecute a bunch of peaceful people who gathered together but they won’t be able to do that for a hundred million people across the country. I don’t care if they do bring out the military and if we have to die for our country for our children, our grandchildren and our great grandchildren, I would look at it as a star in my crown.

I don’t want to hurt anybody I don’t hate anybody but I love our country and I love the America we used to be and I love my family and my friends and if they push hard enough many many people feel the same way as I do.

If the FIB wants to come after me for saying this I come on

[Rummyfan]

Voted today! Don’t get cocky!

[tiki]

Yep,they would have mysteriously been poisoned or just accidentally fell out of a 10 story building. Kind of like the clintons how many people conveniently died.

[tiki]

I wasn’t talking about you specifically voting.

Nothing new

In 1941, the former Mufti of Jerusalem, Hajj Amin al-Husayni, an Arab nationalist and prominent Muslim religious leader, meets Hitler for the first time. During that meeting, held in in the Reich chancellery, Hitler declined to grant al-Husayni’s request for a public statement--or a secret but formal treaty--in which Germany would: 1) pledge not to occupy Arab land, 2) recognize Arab striving for independence, and 3) support the “removal” of the proposed Jewish homeland in Palestine. The Führer confirmed that the “struggle against a Jewish homeland in Palestine” would be part of the struggle against the Jews. Hitler stated that: he would “continue the struggle until the complete destruction of Jewish-Communist European empire.” This hatred of the Jews was in agreement with the Arab world. It is that same hatred that the DemonKKKrats use to gaslight Arabs in the swing states to affect the election against Trump.

We already had 4 years of Trump... Where was the “dictatorship”?

NO ONE saw any... The “going to be” has already been done as an example.
