According to social media rules, the first person in an argument to bring up Hitler or Nazis loses.
Well, here goes.
Hitler may be overused as shorthand for evil, and name-calling is stupid, but this unbending rule would mean we can never impart lessons learned from the rise of Nazi Germany.
That would be a terrible mistake, and it’s how the left would like it. They want us to forget what National Socialism, Fascism and Communism — not to mention Antifa — have in common. They all spring from the poisoned root of Marxism.
Today, we ignore extreme rhetoric and thuggish threats at our own risk, the way Germany’s Jews tried to do before it was too late. They were told the Brownshirt menace was a phase that would pass. Just a few hotheads. The political cartoons depicting Jews as fools, rats and malignant traitors would also go away as people of good will saw through them. (For details, see William L. Shirer’s “Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.”)
Then came Nov. 9-10, 1938, and Kristallnacht, when nearly 100 Jews were murdered, thousands of Jews beaten, 30,000 Jewish men arrested, and schools, synagogues and businesses vandalized, leaving piles of broken glass.
We are not remotely in a similar situation, thank God. The point is that relentless demonization, if unchecked, can lead to intimidation and violence. The left today is demonizing Christians, white people, conservatives and anyone supporting President Trump.
Having lost the economic argument and any reasonable grounds for impeachment, the left has made “racist America” their bogeyman, as epitomized by a “racist” president. All social ills begin with America’s original sin of slavery, and the United States is still a terrible, white supremacist society.

If this were really the rule; the left would lose every argument. All they do is scream NAZI, racist, homophobe, etc.....
