It is now so common for leftists, indeed most Democrats, to call Trump supporters Nazis that it's easy to shrug and move on.
Unfortunately, as much as we would like to think it is a mere rhetorical flourish, it is not one at all. If you think that Democrats aren't serious when they propose what sound like insane measures, just remember what they did during COVID, what they are doing with alphabet ideology (literally sterilizing and mutilating kids and putting sex offenders into girls' locker rooms), and what they did to President Trump before his reelection.
They are quite serious about all the insane things they talk about, including Paul Krugman's call to "deMAGAfy" America, mirroring the measures taken after the Allies' victory in World War II.
We need to, obviously, we need to, um, defang Trump as much as possible and make sure that neither he nor anybody who follows in his footsteps has power after the next two elections. Uh, but beyond that, we really need to do a thorough purging of the United States. We need a, a deMAGAfication, and that is... You know, I'm not going over the top by using a word that's very similar to the denazification, uh, that we pursued successfully after World War II in Germany.
Krugman is not alone. Others have referred to Bush's "deBaathification" after the victory in the Iraq War.
If you don't know what that means exactly, let me tell you: outlawing political parties, rooting out supporters of the political cause you want to purge, removing academics, doctors, and other professionals associated with the movement, and banning them all from public life. It is Ursula von der Leyen's wet dream when it comes to AfD.
There were also, of course, trials and executions for the top-level malefactors. And Rudolf Hess served life in prison until his death in 1987, at the age of 93. I assume Trump would get either the execution or life in prison.
Americans have a hard time believing that their neighbors can really think like this, but the evidence is everywhere. In a 2022 poll, half of Democrats supported criminal penalties for questioning the effectiveness of vaccines. A substantial fraction wanted what amounted to COVID concentration camps and to take away children from parents who opposed forced vaccinations against COVID.
Biden was building an entire censorship regime, sent the FBI after social media posters who dissented from his policies, and suppressed news he didn't like. He sent his Deputy Attorney General to New York to become the primary prosecutor of Donald Trump in the bogus criminal case against him.
And that was before the communist wing of the party became ascendant.
Jonathan Turley has been ringing the alarm bells on the New Jacobins, who are bringing the spirit of the French Revolution to America, and reminds us that it was the same class of people who ushered in The Terror that is now leading the New Jacobins in the United States. It wasn't the working classes who led the revolt. It was the professional classes.
Newspapers like the New York Times regularly publish calls to trash the Constitution or curtail rights such as free speech. In one column, “The Constitution Is Broken and Should Not Be Reclaimed,” law professors Ryan D. Doerfler of Harvard and Samuel Moyn of Yale called for the nation to “reclaim America from constitutionalism.”
Another mocked “Constitution worship” and warned that “Americans have long assumed that the Constitution could save us. A growing chorus now wonders whether we need to be saved from it.”
Republicans and law enforcement are now regularly called “Nazis” and “fascists” by Democratic leaders. Some are promising arrests from the President to individual police officers. Last week, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner promised to “hunt down” ICE officers like “Nazis.” Democratic strategist James Carville previously threatened that “collaborators” may be treated in the same way as they were after World War II.
Gov. Tim Walz, who has called ICE officers “Gestapo,” said that this may be our “Fort Sumter” moment, a triggering event for a civil war that killed hundreds of thousands of Americans.
The dehumanization of political opponents gives people license for extreme or even violent responses. In cities like Minnesota, protesters carried signs reading “Kill Nazis” and we have seen assassination attempts on President Donald Trump and Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Many celebrated or rationalized the murder of Charlie Kirk. A quarter of Americans now believe political violence is justified.
Democrats are quite open about chucking the Constitution and seizing power. That may seem inconceivable, so many assume it is all rhetoric.
It is not. They really mean it. And their hope is a Democratic sweep this November and seizing the presidency in 2028. If they manage that, they will start their project to pack the Supreme Court, add new leftist states to lock in Senate dominance, and it's off to the races.
Think Walz or Spanberger on steroids. And perhaps even more, like "deMAGAfication."

I’m tired of the conservative press calling people like Krugman “scary.” We aren’t children at the mercy of some predator. F’ing do something about it. Are the Dems and their lackeys in the press like Krugman advocating for a MAGA purge? Yes. Do Republicans have the means to punch back? Yes. Do something. Don’t just sit there crying and wetting your pants. Its so pathetic. I am tired of the Republican handwringing and the enabling of it that goes on in the conservative press. The Dems are so scary and we are all doomed. OK. Then pack it in and go home. There is no reason to read Hotair or any other conservative publication anymore.
Yeah
I’m sure that he’s hoping for that
Not in my part of the country.
Gad! I’ve had dementia patients screaming the same things at me for any number of reasons from wanting to go “home,” to I don’t know what and can’t understand.
Has anyone checked Krugman’s diapers? That can make them feel cranky.
Lighten up Francis, I resemble that remark. Being stuck behind enemy lines in NJ doesn't make me a Nazi by default. My father killed Nazi's in Africa and I'm kinda proud of that. ;-)
Bill Ayers and the Weather Underground were serious too. They have been working toward that goal for a long time now.
Ha. My uncle drove a tank in N Africa. He’d regaled me with stories. I especially like the one where he ran his tank over forty Germans trapped in a trench.
Maybe your father and my uncle knew each other?!
So when I arrived in Charleston a neighbor threw a cocktail party in my honor. We became friends. He taught theology and philosophy at Montclair College in your state as well as here at the College of Charleston (40 years). He was also the New York adjutant for the Sons of the Confederacy. He asked his students at both schools would they die for their country. Students at both schools raised their hands. He also asked his students if they would die for their state. Nearly all hands were raised by his Charleston students. When he asked his Montclair students the same question they laughed. What does this tell you?
More MAGA right wing extremist lies I see. /S
This is something they should carefully ponder.
Would any of the left wing crazies get elected if they actually had to run on a communist or socialist ticket instead of hiding behind a democrat label? If that’s what they are, that’s how they should run. Democrats need to clean up their party and kick out the far left radicals, but cleaning up is just not their thing.
