Atlantic Article Comparing Trump to ‘Hitler, Stalin’ Sparks Backlash From Journalists, Pundits
New York Post ^ | Oct. 20, 2024 | Jeffrey Clark

Posted on 10/20/2024 12:00:22 PM PDT by nickcarraway

Journalists and political commentators responded on social media to an article from The Atlantic comparing former President Trump to multiple fascist dictators, including Adolf Hitler. The Atlantic article, headlined, “Trump Is Speaking Like Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini” was published Friday. “The former president has brought dehumanizing language into American presidential politics,” Atlantic writer Anne Applebaum argued.

“When you spend 8 years calling a person every bad name you can think of — including Hitler — only to see that it’s not working, so you desperately decide the only thing left for you to do is call him all the bad names at once,” independent journalist Glenn Greenwald wrote on X in response to the harsh headline. RealClearPolitics co-founder and president Tom Bevan mocked the over-the-top nature of the headline, saying, “The Atlantic with a threefer.”

SNIP

“My colleague [Applebaum] knows as much about the history of authoritarian regimes as anyone. When she says that Trump has begun using the language of Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini with clear intentionality, pay attention.”

““My colleague [Applebaum] knows as much about the history of authoritarian regimes as anyone. When she says that Trump has begun using the language of Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini with clear intentionality, pay attention.”

The languages of Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini were German, Russian, and Italian. I didn’t know Trump spoke all those languages.

Saw 30-40 seconds of CNN today and a female Dem. US Representative was saying Trump’s strategies and words at his rallies are like Hitler’s in pre-WWII Germany.

This is still their half-baked Dem strategy. Slander that low IQ Americans will believe because they heard it so often.

And there have to be a lot of mentally ill viewers who will try to be the next Grassy Knoll shooter to save America from Trump.

Satan at work.

“In 1938, he praised his compatriots who had helped “cleanse Germany of all those parasites who drank at the well of the despair of the Fatherland and the People,’” she continued.
This sounds like a reference by Hitler to the countries Germany was paying reparations to for WWI. I suppose he could also be referring to my Jew ancestors? Either way just because he says foreigners raping the natives means that no one else ever can say the same thing no matter how true it is?

The Political Left is incapable of understanding the historical fact that Adolph Hitler based his take over plan of the German government on methods designed and perfected by Lenin and Stalin - the founders of Communist Russia.

My own interpretation...

Fascists are Communists with a higher standard of living.

She does not understand that her shrillness results in many’s response to over-repetitive advertisements. After being annoyed the first few times my mind fuzzes them out to think on productive subjects - eventually not even acknowledging if they pop up at all.

The exact opposite response to what she was hoping for.

It is classic projection.

The left is the the ones who demonize people:

—White males
—Folks who resisted the vaxx
—Israel and Jews who support Israel
—Anyone who wants to defend our border

etc etc etc.

It is also the left that calls for censorship of dissenting opinions.

Have they nothing else to say about President Trump?!

Seems to me the only ones talking and walking like Hitler or Stalin are those grotesque supporters of Que-Mala and Timmy Tampon. They’ve tried to assassinate him twice already.

The Atlantic knows Harris is doomed and never to return to politics to promote Marxism Socialism and Communism what the media have worked so hard and so long to promote.

The snake has been speared this may very well be the end of the democrat party.
