The good news is that Donald Trump does not intend to challenge
the U.S. Constitution and run for a third term as president.
The bad news is that Trump intends to reopen Alcatraz which many
liberals will see as an American concentration camp.
This last is a kind of wish-fulfilment by Democrats who have
used the courts to block exporting of illegal immigrants who have been charged
with serious crimes and immigrant rights groups forcing local jails to give up
their contracts with ICE to house illegal immigrants.
The more I study the rise of Nazi’s in Europe in 1920s and
1930s, the more similarities I see between Hitler and Trump, which may simply
be ironies of history, but also may be the impact of the left in giving Trump fewer
choices.
One of these ironies were averted when Trump decided to pull
back on his plan to rename Veteran’s Day. Hitler had tried to do the same thing
when he became Chancelor of Germany in 1933 – in an attempt to alter the public
perception that Germany had lost World War I. Perhaps someone in the Trump
administration also noticed the similarity and encouraged Trump to abandon his
plans.
Unfortunately, Trump’s decision to without federal funds
from NPR and PBS reeks of Nazi-like censorship, as does his attempt to without
funds from antisemitic universities like Harvard and Columbia. While these institutions
should not be using federal tax dollars to promote hate, his defunding them
gives the liberals more ammunition to use against him – including pathetic
congress people who are calling for yet another attempt to impeach him.
Arresting that hateful anti-Israel character at Columbia
satisfied a deep urge many of us had when listening to his hate speech, this,
too, gave Trump’s enemies fodder to attack him with. As much as an asshole as
that character is, we still live in a nation of free speech (although universities
like Columbia and Harvard do not recognize free speech of conservatives).
But beyond all these, the historic similarities between Trump
and Hitler are disturbing. Both sought to make their respective countries “great
again.” Both gained power to some extent based on their opposition to diversity.
As Trump makes moves to remove many of the illegal immigrants Biden and the
Democrats allowed to flood over the borders, his methods strongly resemble
those of Nazi storm troopers and evoke the fearful images of what happened in Europe
more than 80 years ago. The fact that Trump’s actions in securing the borders
are extremely popular with many Americans is still more terrifying, since a
majority of Germans approved of his activities back then.
Equally ironic is that the more roadblocks Democrats use to
keep Trump from deporting the nearly 20 million illegal immigrants, the more
likely the Trump administration will be forced to resort to drastic measures
such as reopening old jails or shipping these illegal immigrants to private jails
throughout the country – more concentration camps.
Another disturbing similarity between Trump and Hitler was
Trump’s recent proposal that congress people accused of crimes be removed from
office. Hitler had used a similar pretext to gain a voting majority in Germany’s
version on Congress.
The left is constantly looking for ways to reconfigure Trump
as a Nazi, even going so far as to compare Trump supporters (maga) as the equivalent
of brown shirts, and to equate the Jan. 6 protestors as part of an insurrection.
What disturbs the left the most is that Trump, having been
in office just over 100 days, has begun a serious purge in government and
military to remove those who oppose his agenda, again reflecting some of the
moves Hitler made.
But unlike Hitler, Trump is doing these things legally, even
if some liberal judges claim otherwise, and as long as he remains on the right
side of the law, his actions will only confound the Democrats, who are trying to
stop him from dismantling institutions that have been ripping off public tax
dollars for years.
Yes, Trump has reversed a number of agreements that Biden
and Obama forged, such as removing the United States from the crippling and
silly climate change regulations, and restoring sanctions of counties like Iran,
who have used oil to support terrorists, especially against Israel. Trump is cutting
to the bone those agreements that turned America into a get rich quick scheme
for China.
Whether all this looks to liberals like moves a Nazi might
make, let them live in their fantasy land. But Trump needs to not feed this frenzy
by taking actions that too strongly resemble the worst in human history.
