Dems, since you are unhinged, here are some new hinges. You will need to provide your own screws.

If progressives hate Donald Trump so much, why are they trying so hard to get him re-elected?
They may believe, with justification, that Donald Trump is vulgar and mean-spirited. They may think he acts more like a bully in middle school than a president. They may be convinced, based on the evidence before them, that he's impulsive and dishonest.
But he's not a Nazi, no matter how many times they say he is. And he's not Adolf Hitler, despite what their fevered imagination keeps telling them.
Now we have not some anonymous leftist at a street rally but a former head of the CIA taking to Twitter to tell us that, "Other governments have separated mothers and children," referring to the president's border policy (at the time). And just in case you didn't get the connection to the Nazis, Michael Hayden - who led the CIA under the presidency of George W. Bush - attached a picture of railroad tracks leading into the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp.
Then, when he got hammered for his shameful comparison, he issued the standard non-apology apology: "If I [went too far] by comparing it to Birkenau, I apologize to anyone who may have felt offended."
And if we needed any proof that there is such a thing as Trump Derangement Syndrome just tune in to "Morning Joe" on MSNBC any day of the week. Here's what Joe Scarborough had to say about the separation of children from their parents on the border: "Children are being marched away to showers just like the Nazis said that they were taking people to the showers, and then they never came back."
The hard left apparently learned nothing from Hillary Clinton's defeat. She lost for many reasons, but one of them was her description of Trump supporters as "deplorables." Voters don't like it when elitists call them names.
Yet, we have "Morning Joe" regular Donny Deutsch, an ad executive and Scarborough sycophant, saying it's not only Donald Trump who progressives should hold accountable, it's everybody who supports him.
"This can no longer be about who Trump is, it has to be about who we are," Deutsch said about the next elections. "We can no longer say Trump's the bad guy. If you vote for Trump, you're the bad guy."
Then, the inevitable comparison to Hitler and the Nazis.
"If you vote for Trump, then you, the voter, you, not Donald Trump, are standing at the border, like Nazis," Deutsch said. "If you vote, you can no longer separate yourself" from the "evilness of Donald Trump."
A mind is terrible thing to waste, but that's what's happening to those suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome. They have lost touch with reality.
So let's take a trip to the past, to get re-acquainted with historical reality. Our guide is Jay Winik, an historian and author who penned an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal under the headline, "Trump's Critics Desecrate the Holocaust."
"Jews in Nazi-occupied Europe were rounded up and packed into cattle cars, with little air or light, no food and virtually no water, for a harrowing two- to three-day trip to Auschwitz. They rode in terror and anticipation, having no idea what was in store for them at the destination. Exhausted and scared, they frequently had to stand for the entire trip. Mothers clutched sons; daughters held on to fathers; children gripped both parents' hands; grandparents and the infirm struggled to stay alive. Many didn't survive the journey."
I wonder if Michael Hayden, Joe Scarborough or Donny Deutsch thought about any of that when they made their Nazi comparisons. I wonder if they considered any of what else Mr. Winick wrote.
"When the trains arrived at Auschwitz, it was a scene of chaos, confusion and horror. After days trapped in darkened cattle cars, squinting into bright floodlights lining the tracks was almost unbearable. So was the stench, like nothing the captives had ever smelled before. They didn't know it at the time, but it was the odor of burning human flesh and hair."
Question for Joe Scarborough: Does that sound like what's happening on the border between the U.S. and Mexico?
Does this?
"Outside they heard all kinds of noises: German shepherds and Doberman pinschers barking loudly, and commands in German most of them couldn't understand. When they stumbled out of the cattle cars, disoriented and anxious, timidly asking questions, the Germans shouted back, 'Raus, raus raus!' ('Out, out, out!') In the distance, the prisoners saw a skyline of chimneys, with bright orange plumes of flame shooting into the clouds. They didn't know that most of them would be ash within hours."
I found it painful to read those words. I wonder if Joe Scarborough and the others would find it painful too, or if their hatred of this president is so intense that it allows them to make Nazi comparisons with no sense of shame.
Contempt for Donald Trump may make the unhinged left feel good, but it might wind up helping him in 2020 - and his fellow Republicans in November.
The president's press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, was recently asked to leave a restaurant in Virginia because, the owner said, her restaurant "has certain standards that I feel it has to uphold, such as honesty and compassion, and cooperation."
Trump supporters won't forget what happened at that restaurant. Neither, I suspect, will independents, even if they're not big fans of the president.
And they won't forget what Congresswoman Maxine Waters, the progressive Democrat from California, said about that incident at the restaurant.
At a rally in Los Angeles she said that, "If you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you cause a crowd, and you push back on them, and you tell them they're not welcome - anymore, anywhere."
You don't have to like Donald Trump to be disgusted with his most hateful, condescending critics. Maxine Waters, Joe Scarborough and the others suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome are so far gone they can't see what's happening: They're not hurting the president they hate - but they just might be paving the way for his re-election.
Lol. You're right.
I believe you are essentially correct. Because leftism is a true believer faith its tenets are held as absolute. There are no gray areas in leftism. Everything is stark black or white, blindingly bright or impossibly dark.
Leftists are not thinkers. They are followers. They are mindless, drugged addicts. Viewed with this understanding it becomes obvious that strict control and patient training are their only hope.
Leftists fear Nazi tactics from the right because they intuitively understand that their condition is virtually hopeless and in their minds they are worthy of little more than extermination.
We must, if we are to heal as a nation, seek to bring the hopelessly lost into the fold of love, of security, and of belief in our only true hope, faith in Jesus Christ.

"Only Rosie O'Donnell."
KA-BOOM!!
They have adopted Nazi brownshirt tactics, why would such comparisons not come easy to them?
Dems, since you are unhinged, here are some new hinges. You will need to provide your own screws.
I don’t know of ANY Jews trying to bust IN TO Nazi Germany.
I get annoyed with articles like this. There is nothing good about Democrats advocating for violence and dehumanizing conservatives and Republicans. Its not some safe conventional political tactic that we’re talking about. We’re talking about Democrats going back to being the Democrats from the 1800s and early 1900s. The Democrats who were just fine with developing a terrorist arm to threaten, intimidate and use violence to get their way. We’re talking about Democrats who are developing the new version of the KKK, and a modern version of lynching, Jim Crow laws, etc. to maintain political power. They always have been authoritarians. They are going back to their roots and that’s not good and its not going to help anyone.
Scarborough’s Trump/Shitler analogies makes methinks he protests too much. As we see the left in general are what they supposedly hate as they become, ahem, progressively more unhinged. The guilty dog barks the loudest. The ones who point their fingers are the ones with the filthy hands.
Hmm. I wonder about Hillary thinking Trump was easy to beat.
Say what you want about the criminal BJC, he is an astute politician and reader of the tea leaves. Why did BJC even bother to visit Trump if he thought Trump was an easy guy to beat?
And why was Obama utterly scared of Trump, so much so that he would stutter on even saying his name: “Mister mister mister Trump”.
I think they deeply feared Trump would give them one helluva fight. And this is what led them to launch an all out conspiracy to take him out after — maybe even before — the nomination.
I could well be wrong, but that’s my opinion.
Consider the fact that Bill might possibly love the country (especially all the bootie residing within) Knowing the force of Hill and her hatred of America, her greed and temperament, he might have put a bug in DJTs ear that NOW is the time if ever there was a time. Being an ignorant deplorable, WTP will remain in the dark speculating until we can no longer speculate. Agree, Bill is very astute but is he truly smart with common sense. History would tell us no.
My mother rode one of the trains to Auschwitz with her six brothers and sisters and her parents. The conditions on the train were as described in the article. When she arrived, she immediately was separated from the rest of her family. She never saw them again. She was put to work - first making uniforms and later in a munitions factory. In fact, in later life she worked in a clothing factory, a skill learned in the camps. Jews were beaten daily, starved and taken to the gas when no longer able to work. All this I know from talking with my mother. So, my question to the haters is this - since I voted for Trump does that make me a Nazi? My mother, were she still alive, would have been a Trump voter as well. Was she also a Nazi?
Wow, I didn’t realize they had gone this far into insane, offensive rhetoric. It brings the word “dishonest” to new levels. Uncle Joe should receive the “Propagandist of the Decade” award for this line alone.
Yes, of course, because when a leftists says “Nazi” they don’t mean an actual Nazi; they mean “someone I really don’t like and want to slander for political effect.”
Thank you for the account from your mother by the way.
Very interesting analysis. That one, for sure, will remain a secret.
I’m sure Hillary thinks about this EVERY DAY and grinds her guts out over it !!!
“The media came out of the gate attacking Trump,...”
They were going to do that to whomever took the lead... maybe, it was part of their plan to keep him in the news and focus on HIM as opposed to others.
In any case... attacking Republican/Conservative nominees is their default
They think the current Israeli government are Nazis, too, who murder poor, innocent Palestinian children every day for fun and profit.
Apparently, Hitler only killed liberal Jews.
