WHY DO THEY CALL TRUMP HITLER? [UPDATED]
Powerline ^ | 12 Sep 2025 | John Hinderaker

Posted on 09/13/2025 10:44:31 AM PDT by Rummyfan

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.

Because they don’t know their ass from their elbow about history

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.

Why do the Nazis call us Nazis? Why do the racists call us racists?

Because anyone that disagrees with democrats on any issue, and I mean ANY issue,

is, BY DEFINITION, a Nazi and a racist.

I find it highly ironic that Kirk’s assassin’s weapon of choice was a (sporterized) Mauser 98, which was the standard issue rifle of the Wehrmacht during WWII. It’s literally a nazi/fascist’s weapon.

Some leftists I know on a sports-related website were giving the typical "he was a Nazi and advocated horrible things but shooting him was wrong" crap, and my response was that if what you say about him is true, then why wouldn't killing him be the right thing to do?

No answer. Didn't want to admit the logical end-point of their own argument.

Yeah, Hirohito can’t buy a dang vowel! The Japanese aren’t vilified nearly as much as Germans.

Most liberals are incapable of independent thought. While CK destroyed what the leftists thought were “gotcha” questions, he didn’t change many of their minds. But he did tilt the balance to the fence-sitters to the right. And the left hated him for that.

It’s all to vilify us and justify to their minds any heinous atrocity they wish to inflict on us.

I am certain none of them have or will read Willian Shirer’s The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.

Not ignorant.

Evil.

Intellectual ability has no apparent connection to moral character that I’ve ever noticed.

Why do people who use fascist tactics call us fascists?

Because they want us dead and they have soft heads full of mush.

Because it’s propaganda. As long as Trump is “Hitler”, they don’t have to work with Trump. So the Democrats get away with refusing to find issues they could agree with Trump on.
