In a Washington Post editorial published Wednesday, authors Deborah E. Lipstadt and Norman Eisen argue for the radical comparison of challenging recent election results with denying that a Nazi Holocaust, the “best-documented genocide in the world,” ever occurred.
The essay, titled “Denying the Holocaust threatens democracy. So does denying the election results,” makes several comparisons while suggesting how to combat such “denial.”
Claiming to have “learned the hard way” to take Holocaust denial seriously, the authors state they have “watched with alarm the birth of another powerful disinformation mythology,” referring to the “false conviction pushed by Trump and his enablers” that the recent election was “stolen.”
“Call it democracy denial,” the editorial suggests.
Noting that such a comparison is highly extreme, the authors assure readers that it was not made “lightly.”
“As students of history, we do not make this comparison lightly,” they wrote.
The pair also sought to associate the president’s challenge of election results with racism, claiming that “[the president] and his cohort are openly targeting strongly minority jurisdictions with their false claims.”
Another comparison to Holocaust denial is presented in the magnitude of “falsehoods.”
“Also like the denial of the Holocaust, the sheer scale of Trump’s electoral falsehoods is staggering,” they wrote.
After assuring the reader that “Trump is not, of course, Adolf Hitler,” the authors state that both “adopted the propaganda technique of the big lie” before quoting Hitler to prove so.

Just the WashingCIA Post being as crazy as they usually are.

Who denies that it is/was A Fraud?

F the WP.
These leftists are pathological.
What in the world are these people going to do when
definitive proof of a stolen election is shown to
the public. Their very own words will stand against
them as they continue to deny what is evident to all.
Stacy Abrams never conceded her election loss in Georgia, but that’s ok with the liberals.
On the other hand, Trump not conceding this questionable election loss, is a crime against humanity.
Washington Compost is treasonous and Satanically evil.
(and so is 99% of the rest of the print propaganda)
The NYT denied the Holocaust in the 1930’s.
WaPo thinks Dementia Joe got over 80 million votes.
Sorry WaPo, not everybody has been indoctrinated like you.
Watch as the handbasket presents itself and you are in it.
there’s a chick in iowa that has lost a congressional race and two recounts; she’s taking it to Boss Mama Pelosi to finish the flat out steal.
no bitching about that, however.
The Washington Post is dogshit on a good day.
Some of them don't want to deny it - they want to restart it.
We went to bed with PDJT having nearly a 600,000 vote lead with not that many precincts left to report.
While I was sleeping the SOS office suddenly stopped counting votes and went off line. When we awoke the morning after, they suddenly announced it was too close to call and Shazam! Hundreds of thousands of votes magically appeared from Philadelphia to put Biden 82,00 votes ahead less than 24 hours later.
Meanwhile, our county took until the weekend after Thanksgiving to weed out ineligible provisional ballots, duplicate votes ant the like.
But somehow, a much bigger Philadelphia managed to do the same job in less than two days. Yeah, right!
