Two of the radio and television shows that I was on yesterday were hosted by liberals. In each case, they asked what I thought *we* can do to reduce political violence. For starters, I said, you can stop calling everyone you disagree with Adolf Hitler. They didn’t seem to think that was a good idea.
Which raises the question: Why do liberal politicians, talking heads and social media influencers relentlessly liken Donald Trump to Hitler? In every relevant way, Trump is the exact opposite of Hitler. Hitler invaded Poland, France, Belgium, Russia, the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Yugoslavia, Greece, and no doubt a couple more that don’t come to mind. Trump has invaded no one. Hitler murdered six million Jews; Trump is the best friend Israel has ever had in the White House, and has Jewish grandchildren. Hitler raised taxes and greatly expanded the powers of government. Trump has cut taxes and tried to reduce the scope of government. Trump is literally the anti-Hitler.
So are liberals so stupid that they don’t understand how illiterate their Trump/Hitler equivalence is? I don’t think so. I think they are trying to get him killed.
Groups of Germans tried to assassinate Hitler. How does history remember them? As heroes. If you are a loyal Democrat, and you hear your party’s leaders say, thousands of times, that Trump is the same as Hitler, what are you supposed to conclude? That anyone who assassinates Trump is a hero.
I think that is the plan, and I think that is the Democrats’ motive. So far, two Democrat loyalists have taken the hint and tried to kill President Trump.
Same with Charlie Kirk. He has been ritually denounced as a “Nazi” thousands of times, day after day, for years, by influential Democrats. Why? Kirk was the exact opposite of a Nazi. I don’t think Democrats have so characterized Charlie by accident, or out of ignorance. I think they were deliberately trying to get him killed. And now they have succeeded.
I think we conservatives should aggressively call out Democrats whenever they engage in encouragement to assassination. We have seen that their strategy works. We shouldn’t pretend that we don’t understand what they are doing. Responsibility needs to be laid at their door, and they need to be held accountable.
UPDATE: One of the casings left in Charlie Kirk’s assassin’s rifle said: “Hey fascist! Catch!” Meanwhile, Ryan Routh’s trial in Florida is under way. (Who knew?) Routh is representing himself:
In his opening statement, [Judge] Cannon warned him to stay relevant to the case. Among other things, he got in comments on Adolf Hitler….
QED. Both of these men did exactly what their masters wanted them to do, and intended that they do.
Some people need summary impeachment and removal from office.
It's an ad hominem attack, which means they've already lost the argument.
The last fascist we had was Obama, he forced you to buy insurance from a private company.
We are living in the era of more socialized parties. No party is pushing capitalism and free markets.
Because all they do it project and sway opinion with lies and rhetoric.
Trump is pushing DOMESTIC free markets. As he should.
Because they can get away with it.
Projection, actually.
Except for us being armed, they would be, uh, doing Hitler stuff to us right now.
But only for the greater good, mind you...
They called Thomas Dewey a “Hitler” in 1948. This goes way back.
It has metastasized into an axiomatic “otherization”. Whether Rwanda, Germany, Russia, Cuba, Yugoslavia, Cambodia, China, etc, leftists otherize the enemy, eventually through legislation but first in the press and academia.
We are fairly far along the process when they talk about “erasing Whiteness” and shooting Catholic children praying in Church, stabbing chicks on the subways and nobody lifts a finger.
14 time losers, crazies let back out on the streets over and over to prey on Americans. This is not due to some incompetence it is a purposeful strategy. “The Worse the Better”.
It started during FDR's (the worst President of all time) administration.
Fascism is the combination of Big Govt and Big Business (which is easier to control by Govt than a bunch of smaller companies). The current Democrat party and the past 2 Democrat Presidents could be considered economic fascists (Big Tech, Big Green, Big Pharma).
“Which raises the question: Why do liberal politicians, talking heads and social media influencers relentlessly liken Donald Trump to Hitler?”
It’s projection. The Democrats are the Social Democrats meaning they are Fascists and in turn Nazis. The ones who aren’t Fascists are Marxists.
We, as Americans must change the rats narrative.
Because they are insane.
No, they are evil, amoral sociopaths.
Treaty of Versailles created a lunatic Hitler!!!
These creatures that hurl the Hitler accusations ignore what has led US and the ‘world’ to the ‘populist’ Donald Trump ... Elections have consequences ... as well as dumb men ushering in Sodom with ‘judge not lest ye be judged’... Perhaps the so called medical community will stop playing satanic medicine .. butchering young bodies in the art of transgender malfunctions. How Nazi is the medical community ????
Conservative principals are a lot looking for somebody, anybody to fill their own personal bank accounts...
The Woke Liberal politicians and the press use this, and other canards, when their ideas are exposed as weak. For instance, having biological males win over girls in sports is not supported by the public. Only a very small percentage of folks, I'm guessing, outside the Woke/Liberal Press, it's less than 2%.
Support for Illegal Aliens, who have been convicted of Raping or Murdering, and given shelter in Sanctuary Cities, I'm guessing the support for that is less than 2% outside of the Mainstream Press.
Support for the "Palestinians" in Gaza to retain Hamas as their leadership, I would estimate about the same outside the supportive mainstream press.
You might ask why do I exclude the Mainstream/Woke/Progressive/Liberal press? That's easy. In my book, when they became activists, they are no longer worthy of the name Journalists or Reporters. Journalists or Reporters are supposed to give is clean facts and let us come to our own conclusions. But these have decided they must change our minds by any means including fabrication, so they lose that status IMHO.
So, 20 years ago, I stopped watching Mainstream News as the propaganda was unwatchable for my family or our young children. And I am never going back.
And on Videos, I use the Blab Control (mute button) or fast forward over the vitriol. I highly recommend this for the sake of one's sanity, even with a trusted source; Enough, is Enough.

They’re trying to dehumanize, which actually is a Hitlerian tactic. He likened Jews to rats, making it seem socially acceptable to hate and want to exterminate them, because that’s what you do with an infestation of rats. Same thing happening here. Sadly, people are stupid enough to believe it.

Hans Landa: Consider, for a moment, the world a rat lives in. It’s a hostile world, indeed. If a rat were to scamper through your front door right now, would you greet it with hostility?
Perrier LaPadite: I suppose I would.
Col. Hans Landa: Has a rat ever done anything to you to create this animosity you feel towards them?
Perrier LaPadite: Rats spread diseases. They bite people.
Col. Hans Landa: Rats were the cause of the bubonic plague, but that’s some time ago. I propose to you, any disease a rat could spread, a squirrel could equally carry. Would you agree?
Perrier LaPadite: Oui.
Col. Hans Landa: Yet I assume you don’t share the same animosity with squirrels that you do with rats, do you?
Perrier LaPadite: No.
Col. Hans Landa: But they’re both rodents, are they not? And except for the tail, they even rather look alike, don’t they?
Perrier LaPadite: It’s an interesting thought, Herr Colonel.
Col. Hans Landa: Ha! However interesting as the thought may be, it makes not one bit of difference to how you feel. If a rat were to walk in here right now, as I’m talking, would you greet it with a saucer of your delicious milk?
Perrier LaPadite: Probably not.
Col. Hans Landa: I didn’t think so. You don’t like them. You don’t really know why you don’t like them; all you know is you find them repulsive.
