Baitball Blogger (39,464 posts)Replace "Trump" with "Hitler".This is a paraphrasing of something I just heard on MSNBC: Trump has the ability to connect with his core voters, with the ability to motivate them like nobody can.Grassley accepting Trump's endorsement just days after it's known that Trump was behind the Insurrection is the big news of the morning. MSNBC is shocked.And they should be shocked. Because any decent Republican who is yielding to Trump, is actually supporting a group of people who would gladly take this country over by Civil War.

I do not think that apt comparisons trivialize Hitler.Hitler did not start out with death camps and the Final Solution. Hitler gained power through both electoral means and violent take over during the 1930's. It was at least 7 years into his reign as Fuhrer, that he launched invasions into Poland and France. Everyone reacts strongly to comparisons to Hitler and the Nazis because of the Holocaust, but the rise of Hitler had little to do with the Final Solution and everything to do with using right wing, populist rhetoric, blaming immigrants, deviants, and minorities for the problems of the nation. Exactly what Trump was doing as candidate and president, and exactly what he would do again if he ran. We do need the comparison because the German people did not think that they would be guided toward a World War and the attempted extermination of a religious and cultural group/ gay people/ disabled people/ the Roma/ Poles and others. If we say, "You can't/shouldn't compare anyone to Hitler, then you can miss then rise of the next Hitler

But they told us Bush was Hitler.I do wish they would decide and stick with it..

1 - It wasn't an insurrection2 - Trump publicly called for people to "peacefully and patriotically" march to The Capitol2 - The FBI plants had more to do with fomenting it than Trump did
