Two of the radio and television shows that I was on yesterday were hosted by liberals. In each case, they asked what I thought *we* can do to reduce political violence. For starters, I said, you can stop calling everyone you disagree with Adolf Hitler. They didn’t seem to think that was a good idea.
Which raises the question: Why do liberal politicians, talking heads and social media influencers relentlessly liken Donald Trump to Hitler? In every relevant way, Trump is the exact opposite of Hitler. Hitler invaded Poland, France, Belgium, Russia, the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Yugoslavia, Greece, and no doubt a couple more that don’t come to mind. Trump has invaded no one. Hitler murdered six million Jews; Trump is the best friend Israel has ever had in the White House, and has Jewish grandchildren. Hitler raised taxes and greatly expanded the powers of government. Trump has cut taxes and tried to reduce the scope of government. Trump is literally the anti-Hitler.
So are liberals so stupid that they don’t understand how illiterate their Trump/Hitler equivalence is? I don’t think so. I think they are trying to get him killed.
Groups of Germans tried to assassinate Hitler. How does history remember them? As heroes. If you are a loyal Democrat, and you hear your party’s leaders say, thousands of times, that Trump is the same as Hitler, what are you supposed to conclude? That anyone who assassinates Trump is a hero.
I think that is the plan, and I think that is the Democrats’ motive. So far, two Democrat loyalists have taken the hint and tried to kill President Trump.
Same with Charlie Kirk. He has been ritually denounced as a “Nazi” thousands of times, day after day, for years, by influential Democrats. Why? Kirk was the exact opposite of a Nazi. I don’t think Democrats have so characterized Charlie by accident, or out of ignorance. I think they were deliberately trying to get him killed. And now they have succeeded.
I think we conservatives should aggressively call out Democrats whenever they engage in encouragement to assassination. We have seen that their strategy works. We shouldn’t pretend that we don’t understand what they are doing. Responsibility needs to be laid at their door, and they need to be held accountable.
UPDATE: One of the casings left in Charlie Kirk’s assassin’s rifle said: “Hey fascist! Catch!” Meanwhile, Ryan Routh’s trial in Florida is under way. (Who knew?) Routh is representing himself:
In his opening statement, [Judge] Cannon warned him to stay relevant to the case. Among other things, he got in comments on Adolf Hitler….
QED. Both of these men did exactly what their masters wanted them to do, and intended that they do.
