In the fall, a video of Nick Fuentes criticizing Donald Trump drew the praise of progressive former US congressman Jamaal Bowman.
“Finally getting it Nick,” Bowman commented, apparently recognizing some common ground between himself on the left and Fuentes, on the far right, who said in the video that Trump was “better than the Democrats for Israel, for the oil and gas industry, for Silicon Valley, for Wall Street,” but said he wasn’t “better for us.”
“My problem with Trump isn’t that he’s Hitler — my problem with Trump is that he is not Hitler,” Fuentes said during his streaming show on Tuesday, which focused mostly on the potential for an American attack on Iran.
He continued, “You have all these left-wing people saying, ‘Why do I agree with Nick Fuentes?’ It’s like, I’m criticizing Trump because there’s not enough deportations, there’s not enough ICE brutality, there’s not enough National Guard. Sort of a big difference!”
Fuentes, the streamer and avowed antisemite who has previously said Hitler was “very f–king cool,” has been gaining more traction as a voice on the right.

Big time.
That’s mine too.
Seems Fuentes is replacing David Duke as the Left’s straw man.
His meeting with Mamdani was "friendly", too. Don't read into it.
I'd be happy with Franco or Pinochet.
This being said, Fuentes has a point. Trump said he'd be a dictator on Day One and I'm kinda waiting for this to happen.
“Fuentes adjacent Carlson”
That is called guilt by association.
It is also called character assassination.
In fact Carlson and Fuentes have differing views on a wide variety of topics.
I am sure you noticed where this article came from...
Lol.
What is the fascination with Hitler?
******************
You should ask the neoconservatives this question, because they’re the ones who consistently bring up their historical boogyman in regards to our foreign policy.
Every act of diplomacy is Munich & Appeasement.
Every group and leader they oppose are Nazis.
Their playbook has worked in the past, but will become irrelevant & outdated for the future.
Yup—for the young folks World War II is becoming about as relevant as Napoleon’s conquest of Europe.
“What is the fascination with Hitler?”
Identifying personally with Germany’s “unjust” national humiliation at the end of WWI, Hitler sought redress for his intense humiliation as a failed artist, as a man, and probably as a subordinate homosexual, through National power, cruelty, aggression, and the rejection of normative values. People in general are fascinated and repulsed by how this plays out in Hitler’s rise to power, his perverse evil, ruthlessness, flawed genius, and extreme displays of emotion. There have always been children like Fuentes eager to shock us by saying “Look at me! I’m glorifying evil!”.
Both Fuentes and Carson say things to get attention! Attention is how they make money. The more “outrageous” thing said the more attention and “ka-ching”. They should be ignored!
What is the fascination with Fuentes?
He's not MAGA or conservative. But, he is being used by political forces to advance their agenda.
Fair point on part of what motivates any videocasters/podcasters.
Every human has a conflict of interest.
We all have to eat.
If you want virtue get a dog.
(Actually, even they have to eat. Lol.)
Note where this article came from....
Hitler not only didn’t “nationalize everything”, he sold off two government owned industries to the private sector.
Hitler didn’t have any economic philosophy. There were two brothers, Strasser if I remember, who did want the party to be socialist and Hitler drove them out. One was killed.
See Stennes revolt!
The first three chapters of William Shirer’s “Rise and Fall of the Third Reich” are still the best introduction to Hitler’s bio and the origin of the Nazi party.
A homeless Austrian national, probable homosexual,take an insignificant 20 member party of weirdos to world power.
Leftwing plant.
Exactly.
Nazis were filled with homo socialists, and Fuentes/his handlers inserting this psychopath Hitler into current politics is beyond stupid and purposeful misdirection of generations who do not know the history. The Nazis were never “right wing”... they were Socialists, to the right of the ultra Left Communists of Weimar. Communists clever move has been since then to refer to Nazis as right wing— when in fact they were partners with the Communists and recruited from them. As you have correctly observed— the nazis were comprised of homosexuals in their leaderships, and used this to “out” Communists over to their side.
Islamofascists are the world globalist cabal that says it has no homosexuality— when in fact it also is full of women hating male homosexuals (and pedophiles). There is no doubt about this.
You’re basically right but he operates like a high wire act. Why put out images that are going to make a lot of people go Huh? Whuh?
