Donald Trump Reportedly Praised Hitler During a Trip Honoring U.S. Troops, claiming Hitler “did a lot of good things,” Trump told then-White House chief of staff John Kelly, per Wall Street Journal reporter Michael Bender.

 

Why do I believe every word of this byline? Trump is the man who, it is said, had a copy of Hitler's speeches and/or Mein Kampf on his night table!

Trump is a rightwing extremist by his own admission a "nationalist."  What is there about the rightwing extremist nationalism that most of us who hold humanitarian left of center viewpoints abhor? As Justice Poter Stewart said of hard core pornography "I know it when I see it."  So I say the same of the right wing nationalism and extremist white supremacist political opinion.  I know its poison when I see and hear it. 

Examining the nature of the signs that the pro Trump attackers of the Capitol carried, the militaristic and other dress of many of those who were so violent on January 6, 2021, the tenor of the population of that seditious mob clearly placed them as white supremacist nationalists excluding many they deem as "the other." At the behest of Trump they attacked the pinnacle  of democracy, the  Capitol to prevent the presidential election from being certified.   Amid the plethora of Trump flags his supporters donned t-shirts that said "Camp Auschwitz" referring to one of the Nazis most horrific death camps.  Another shirt sported the logo 6MWE or six million wasn't enough referring to the estimates of Jews murdered in Hitler's Holocaust.  The man Trump thinks did "a lot of good things" was responsible for the deaths of 6 million innocents and 50,000,000 others in the theater of WWII perpetrated by the man Trump admires who claimed his German Reich would last a thousand years but really lasted 12.

The right wing extremists of this nation are gun loving, often violent males who think nothing of injuring, hurting or even killing those who would oppose them.  In addition, they are authoritarian in nature and they are wedded to the authoritarian nature of Trump whom they see as strong. The narcissist Trump, however, I submit, does not see himself as strong but knows in the darkest corner of his mind he is, in truth, weak and inferior to most of his peers as evidenced by the losses Trump experiences in most everything he touches.  He tries to cover up his many failings with lies about himself and his gullible followers succumb unquestioning to his mesmerizing appeal caring nothing for the truth. 

The Nazi Goebels said " “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it."  The big lie in our time has been repeated again and again by Republicans that the 2020 election was permeated by fraud.  We know by the judgement of experts and courts over and over again it was one of the cleanest elections in US history and Biden not Trump is the rightful president of the United States.   

So what now is at stake -- only the demise of the world's primary historical example of democracy and civil libertarian self government.  If the Trumpians someday prevail we will know what it means to live in an authoritarian state leaving us open to the overreach of a tyrannical government unfree to question any policy of it in perpetuity.  We will know that Trumpian Republicans, the only face of the new dastardly Republican Party, has diabolically in "14 GOP controlled states passed laws to impede free elections.  24 new laws will "politicize, criminalize and interfere in election administration" and the right wing political tilt of the Supreme Court in a recent 6/3 decision has sanctioned all of it.

A blogger stated: "Trump: traitor (attempted coup), horrific grifter, violated campaign finance laws, obstructed justice, abused power, engaged in witness tampering, attempted extortion (Ukrainian president), responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people (the lying and vilification of a virus), threatened healthcare professionals, caged and killed human beings (including children), and tried to strong arm election officials. Partial list. Where is Trump? Grifting off the dupes whom he despises. One standard of justice? Will he be convicted?"

I aver Trump is the slimiest, most corrupt slug that ever polluted our oval office with his presence and that ever occupied the seat of the highest most celebrated office in the land. May he never see that oval office again.  Only you can ensure he does not!!  SEND THIS TO ANYONE YOU CHOOSE AND URGE YOUR SENATOR TO SUPPORT HR1 -- For the People Act.
