It may be impossible to overstate the damage done to morality by the Democrats and other leftists calling Donald Trump a fascist and a Nazi and declaring him « Hitler. »
Asked by Anderson Cooper on CNN if she believes Trump is a « fascist », Kamala Harris said, « Yes, I do. »
With regard to calling Trump « Hitler », Newsweek’s fact-checker concluded: « Harris didn’t directly call Trump ‘Hitler.’ However, many will think she came very close to it: she confirmed that she believes Trump is a fascist, quoted (retired four-star General, and one of Donald Trump’s White House chiefs of staff, John] Kelly’s unfavorable comments (Kelly said Trump ‘wanted generals like Adolf Hitler had’) and suggested Trump would ‘invoke’ Hitler. »
Harris’ running mate, Tim Walz, compared the Trump rally at Madison Square Garden to the 1939 Nazi rally at Madison Square Garden.
Many Hitler historians have done similarly. In a 2017 essay in the Los Angeles Review of Books, Ron Rosenbaum, author of a New York Times bestselling biography of Adolf Hitler, « Explaining Hitler », compared Trump to Hitler:
« (The views of) Trump and his minions . come out of a playbook written in German. . The playbook is ‘Mein Kampf.’
« What I want to suggest is an actual comparison with Hitler that deserves thought. It’s what you might call the secret technique, a kind of rhetorical control that both Hitler and Trump used on their opponents, especially the media.
« Alan Bullock (the first major Hitler biographer) .
