Most educated people are well aware that, if we forget history, we are bound to repeat it. And so, when President Trump holds these huge rallies, like he did yesterday in Florida and whips up popular nationalism, it congers up thoughts of brown shirts and all the horrors of Nazi Germany. These flashbacks occur to many ... mostly liberals for some reason. In fact, this could easily be the delineating characteristic of a liberal ... those who envision themselves in the vanguard of the resistance, those uniquely recognizing this threat and warning us all to fight back. They are our saviors from that proto-Hitler, Trump. One cannot doubt this as both oblique and direct accusations of this new Fuhrer fear fill the media.
Why is Trump a proto-Hitler? Because he and those he surrounds himself with are anti-Semitic ... they must be ... which anyone who is awake will realize they are not. President Trump and the Trumpers are ardent friends of Israel which somehow liberals, including many Jewish liberals, are not. This is the paradox of paradoxes. Why do many liberal Jews hate, and I really mean dispise, Israel? And therefore why does anyone who supports this oasis of democracy in the midst of Muslim hostility and horrors ... why are they the anti-Semites?
Because they are stirring up U.S. nationalism ... just like Hitler did in the 1930s in Germany ... and we all know where that led ... to the world in flames and the holocaust. And Trump said that the holocaust included millions more than just the Jews ... a sure sign of his anti-Semitism. That he is a crypto-Nazi. That he is a proto-Hitler.
He just needs now to grow that moustache ...
Immigrants and refugees are the new Jews. Perhaps you will remember that Hitler knew that the Press was his biggest enemy. He made certain that those who reported the "wrong" news were silenced. If you don't hear echoes of fascism, your ears are plugged-up from sticking your head in the sand.
ReplyDeleteRight! The press seems to not accept the facts of the Bowling Green massacre as well as what happened in Sweden last night. Those were just hyperbole.
DeletePointing out bad reporting is not quite the same as sending reporters to the salt mines. Trump has free speech too ... just as Obama did and often used. The media's freedom carries with it responsibility to be loyal to the facts. If you think that they are even generally doing so, then I question your judgment.
DeleteSweden - ok now we can all agree that sometimes the President will mis-speak. So we can forgive Obama for a slip of the tongue about the number of states in the union.
DeleteBTW, Hitler was appointed Chancellor in 1933. By 1934 there was no free press in Germany. Let's see what happens here. We are only a month in.
O also commented on our "intercontinental railroad" among many other boners. If our free press disappears next year, I will concede your point. In the meantime get something to treat your TDS.
DeleteSo the "in Sweden last night" refers to a Fox News story Trump saw the previous night. Apparently Fox News is his respected news source. Watch for him to quote Homer Simpson once in a while. D'oh!
