WHY DO THEY CALL TRUMP HITLER? [UPDATED]

Powerline ^ | 12 Sep 2025 | John Hinderaker

[albie]

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

[Rummyfan]

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.

[marron]

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

[Salamander]

Godwin’s Law.

[Steely Tom]

They’re just ignorant sheep. Trained seals.

[volare737]

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

is, BY DEFINITION, a Nazi and a racist.

[Joe 6-pack]

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.

[Salamander]

Projection.

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

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.

[Salamander]

The subconscious always rats you out.

[rktman]

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

[al baby]

They are trying to humanize Hitler

[Blood of Tyrants]

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.

[RckyRaCoCo]

Projection is their oxygen.

[metmom]

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

[Retain Mike]

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

[metmom]

Not ignorant.

Evil.

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

[Blood of Tyrants]

Why do people who use fascist tactics call us fascists?

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

[MinorityRepublican]

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.
