Jeff Greenfield Compares Trump to Hollywood Movie Fascist President
Newsbusters ^ | March 25, 2018 | P.J. Gladnick

Posted on 03/25/2018 6:44:16 PM PDT by PJ-Comix

Jeff Greenfield wrote an article for Politico Magazine on March 25 about the time Hollywood produced a movie about an American president who became a fascist. So how long do you think it was before the inevitable name of Trump appeared? Well, you didn't even have to wait to begin reading the article, The Hollywood Hit Movie That Urged FDR to Become a Fascist, because you had this in the subtitle, Mostly forgotten now, ‘Gabriel Over the White House’ is worth watching to understand the Trump era.

FDR felt inspired by the movie yet it is Trump who gets branded as the fascist.

Liberals never have and never will understand the American people.

Well, I’m going to compare Jeff Greenfield to a 60 year old Jimmy Olsen, who’s still a copy boy.

Just watched “The Death of Stalin” today. There have been a number of movies in this vein lately, notably “Anthropoid” and “The Man with the Iron Heart,” both about the assassination of Nazi SS General Reinhard Heydrich. Hollywood wants to be able to point to them and say that the Trump is just like the Nazis and Stalin and Hitler and Mussolini. Why doesn’t Godwin’s Law apply to them?

I've seen this movie and it's chilling; not to mention "evil".

Yes, it WAS indeed suggestive and a way to influence/encourage FDR to follow suit, based on what his own proclivities and those around him, had already talked about/hinted at.

I saw it on TCM and would encourage everyone to see it, the next time it's on.

But to claim that it has ANYTHING at all to do with Trump is disingenuous and stupid in the extreme!

No, they don't!

If they did, they would know that Obama and his horde were the true "FASCISTS"!

Well, FDR did setup concentration camps and did serve 4 terms. He would have served a fifth term if he didn’t expire in office. He was well on the way to setting up a dictatorship.

Why doesn’t Godwin’s Law apply to them?

Because Godwin's so-called "law" is bull$#!+ designed to limit discussion. If somebody really is a Nazi, comparing him or her to Hitler and the Nazis is legitimate.

Godwin's Law never was an actual logical construct. It was merely Godwin's opinion. The left knows this and selectively invokes it, even though the so-called "law" has no legitimacy.

He was one of the screenwriters for Disco Beaver from Outer Space.

This makes Jeff Greenfield eminently qualified to present the liberal viewpoint.
