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.

Antifa should know that Mussolini was a fellow Socialist.
Ask David Lammy.
The question is who did they not call Hitler? They called George Bush Hitler. They called Ronald Reagan Hitler. They even called John McCain Hitler. Its Pavlovian.
Because we don’t teach anything in schools today, the idiocracy shouts Nazi at conservatives and Republicans (right-wingers in their lingo) without even realizing that Nazi is German for National Socialist Workers Party - a far cry from being conservative Republican. Nazis were anti-capitalism, anti-big business - everything today’s Dems stand for.
It started in 1948. Truman in the last days of the election called Dewey a faschist. That’s what won him the famous come from behind election.
Anyone who disagrees with democrats on ANY issue is, by definition, Hitler.
Liberals are for bigger government and less individual freedom. If they want to see Nazis, they should look in the mirror.
IIRC, Ronald Reagan and both Bushes were also "Hitler" in their day.
Because JUST LIKE HITLER

There is a long quote from Hayek that applies here:
“Although our modern socialists’ promise of greater freedom is genuine and sincere, in recent years observer after observer has been impressed by the unforeseen consequences of socialism, the extraordinary similarity in many respects of the conditions under “communism” and “fascism.” As the writer Peter Drucker expressed it in 1939, “the complete collapse of the belief in the attainability of freedom and equality through Marxism has forced Russia to travel the same road toward a totalitarian society of un-freedom and inequality which Germany has been following. Not that communism and fascism are essentially the same. Fascism is the stage reached after communism has proved an illusion, and it has proved as much an illusion in Russia as in pre-Hitler Germany.”
“No less significant is the intellectual outlook of the rank and file in the communist and fascist movements in Germany before 1933. The relative ease with which a young communist could be converted into a Nazi or vice versa was well known, best of all to the propagandists of the two parties. The communists and Nazis clashed more frequently with each other than with other parties simply because they competed for the same type of mind and reserved for each other the hatred of the heretic. Their practice showed how closely they are related. To both, the real enemy, the man with whom they had nothing in common, was the liberal of the old type. While to the Nazi the communist and to the communist the Nazi, and to both the socialist, are potential recruits made of the right timber, they both know that there can be no compromise between them and those who really believe in individual freedom.”
— F.A. Hayek, The Road to Serfdom
in one word,
“Projection!”
“Routh is representing himself”.
😆
They’ve been calling anyone who disagrees with them Hitler since the late sixties. BY the seventies it was common.
Because they know nothing about Hitler
because Hitler is the only person in history that has been demonized to the degree that he has been. Thus to those who disagree with someone, calling them Hitler is equivalent to calling them Satan.
Because - when all you have is a hammer...
Because it makes liberals feel good.
The name ‘Hitler’ is the lazy way to imprint/brainwash the masses on the left, because most of them don’t know the extent of what Stalin, Pol Pot, etc did.
