Why the left keeps smearing its political rivals as Hitlers or Mussolinis
NY Post ^ | 30 Sep 2022 | Glenn H Reynolds

Want to be Hitler? You don’t have to hate Jews, invade Poland or grow a silly mustache. There’s only one thing you have to do: Win an election against the left, or even look like you might.

We’ve seen that for years, of course. Democrats have likened every GOP presidential candidate back to Tom Dewey to the Austrian corporal.

When the Tea Party movement — best known for leaving the sites of its protests cleaner than it found them, in stark contrast to lefty groups like Occupy or BLM — appeared on the scene, they were immediately likened to Hitler’s brownshirts.

To listen to the Democrats and the media (I repeat myself), the Trump administration was a Nazi reign of terror over America, though none of those critics wound up targeted by the Gestapo. (That fell to pro-life activists and Trump supporters under the Biden administration.)

It’s not just in America. In France, farmers angry about government policies that were putting them out of business who protested by wearing yellow vests were quickly vilified as Nazi-like. “Immediately, the protesters were denounced as xenophobes, anti-Semites and homophobes,” observed French geographer Christophe Guilluy. “The elites present themselves as anti-fascist and anti-racist, but this is merely a way of defending their class interests.”

Because using the race card doesn't always work.

Anyone notice the irony. The warmongering totalitarian control freak left are far more Nazi-like than the right wing has ever been.

There's a reason I've been referring to them as Nazi Dems. That's what they act like so the description fits. So do many others. Marxists, Authoritarians, Stalinists, Maoists, Communists, etc.

Then there's PedoHitler's now infamous speech with the blood red background.

When have you ever seen a republican politician do this?

Their projection disables their opponent’s ability to call them out for what they are.

eg: when hildabeast calls a conservative patriot out: “you’re a fascist” disarms the conservative from saying: “no you’re a fascist”

h: you’re a bigger fascist
P. No, you a massive fascist

Kinda like grade school?

iow: you can’t win arguing with unreasonable people

Two wings of the same vulture.

“Controversial problems [between Germany and Russia] did not, in my opinion, exist anywhere along the line from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea and to the Far East.

In addition, despite all the divergencies in their views of life, there was one thing common to the ideology of Germany, Italy and the Soviet Union: opposition to the capitalist democracies in the West.”—Julius Schnurre, Nazi trade rep to Russia.

EVERYTHING they do is dehumanizing.

I have a “spousal unit” with “offspring”?

What am I supposed to call grandchildren next?

Because name calling is all they’ve got. It’s the only thing they’ve ever had.

They spent 80+ years demonizing the Nazis and ignoring the evils of communism.

This was done on purpose.

To pretend they were different when in reality, they were just two different boots on the neck of humanity.

Capitalism is the greatest system in the history of mankind.
