If Nazi Germany had a Memorial Day, Hitler’s greeting would have been very much in line with this one from Trump:
Happy Memorial Day to all. But especially to those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for the country they love, and to those in line of a very different, but equally dangerous fire, stopping the threats of the terrorists, misfits and lunatic thugs who are working feverishly from within to overturn and destroy our once great country, which has never been in greater peril than it is right now. We must stop the communists, Marxists and fascist “pigs” at every turn and, Make America Great Again!
The Nazi playbook is all there; false victimization, demonization, scapegoating, and dehumanizing the opposition.
“Wait a minute there, Dubya”, Someone might say. “Haven’t you heard of Godwin’s Law?”
“Why, yes, I have”, I would reply. Then I’d show him what Mike Godwin himself has to say about calling radical Right Republicans neo-Nazis.
" Sure, call Trump a Nazi. Just make sure you know what you’re talking about."
I came up with Godwin’s Law. In its original form, Godwin’s Law goes like this: “As an online discussion continues, the probability of a reference or comparison to Hitler or Nazis approaches 1.”
First, let me get this Donald Trump issue out of the way: If you’re thoughtful about it and show some real awareness of history, go ahead and refer to Hitler or Nazis when you talk about Trump. Or any other politician.
OK, I will.
Hitler: "Ein Volk. Ein Reich. Ein Fuhrer!"
Trump September 17, 2022: "One movement. One people. One family. One glorious American nation!"
Just as Hitler's Nazis revered their "martyr" in the "Horst Wessel Song", American neo-Nazis revere their "martyr", the insurrectionist Ashli Babbitt. Her mother was just arrested for assault. That's what neo-Nazis do. Violence is their language, as they find delight through cruelties that result in real suffering and loss for people they hate or fear.
And there's so much more.
Like Hitler, Trump has no respect for facts, the rule of law, and our democratic ideals. He begins this attack on our Constitution with an absurd false dichotomy before going to his Big Lie on his deceptively named “Truth Social”.
"Do you throw the Presidential Election Results of 2020 OUT and declare the RIGHTFUL WINNER, or do you have a NEW ELECTION? A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution.”
What kind of traitor would call for the termination of the Constitution?
On the day of his SDNY indictment, Trump wailed:
These Thugs and Radical Left Monsters have just INDICATED the 45th President of the United States of America, and the leading Republican Candidate, by far, for the 2024 Nomination for President. THIS IS AN ATTACK ON OUR COUNTRY THE LIKES OF WHICH HAS NEVER BEEN SEEN BEFORE. IT IS LIKEWISE A CONTINUING ATTACK ON OUR ONCE FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS. THE USA IS NOW A THIRD WORLD NATION, A NATION IN SERIOUS DECLINE. SO SAD!
“Indicated” by thugs and monsters.
Here we have Trump’s semi-illiterate version of “Mein Kampf” for MAGAts. We can almost feel the hot-blooded chant of “Ein Reich! Ein Volk! Ein Fuhrer!” behind his vile neo-Nazi diatribes.
Ron Desantis would also echo the original Fuhrer when he told Trey Gowdy on FOX®, “The woke mind virus is basically a form of cultural Marxism. At the end of the day it’s an attack on the truth. And because it’s a war on truth, I think we have no choice but to wage a war on woke”.
“Woke” essentially means whatever and whomever they hate, of course.
DeSantis blew the dog whistle to his racist base when he scored a double, by invoking hate for a Jew, and praise for a white guy who strangled a mentally ill Black man on a subway train.
“We must defeat the Soros-Funded DAs, stop the Left's pro-criminal agenda, and take back the streets for law abiding citizens. We stand with Good Samaritans like Daniel Penny. Let’s show this Marine... America’s got his back.”
Penny is charged with second-degree manslaughter. The pro-criminal projection here is once again wrapped in praise for a killer.
They loved the racist who killed Trayvon Martin.
They send money and praise to a sociopath punk named Kyle Rittenhouse for killing BLM protesters.
Governor Abbot plans to pardon another bigot who killed a protester in Texas. The killer Daniel Perry proclaimed, “I might have to kill a few people on my way to work”.
These are the heroes of neo-Nazis.
They LOVE white people who kill Blacks and others they hate.
Then DeSantis pitched a promise that enthralls every Nazi, “I will serve two terms, and I will be able to destroy leftism in this country.”
Imagine if a Democratic candidate said they were going to "destroy conservatism in this country." We know how the corporate media and press would treat that statement with outrage. But It’s OK if you’re a Republican. (IOKIYAR) It’s just “rhetoric” and “legitimate political discourse”, as in how the GOP whitewashed Trump’s coup on 1/6/21.
"America First" activist Tyler Russel admits what the white nationalist neo-Nazi base really wants. "We don't want freedom. We want a total Trumpian Reich. We want dictator Trump...And we want all these people who are traitors to this nation to go to jail."
To hell with all those American neo-Nazis who want to destroy our democracy. THAT is their goal, as they pack the courts with corrupt anti-democratic judges to cement minority rule.
This is the purpose of their war on truth, democracy, education, and our freedom. They want to restrict the right to vote, dictate forced births, dictate what books children can read, what teachers can teach, how people dress and perform, and force their radical Right, racist, one-party dictatorship on our nation. This is what they do while projecting and howling that the "left" is trying to control them.
Why do they really want to destroy leftism?
Leftism is anti-racist, so they hate it.
Leftism supports separation of church and state and opposes theocracy in the laws and courts, so they hate it.
Leftism supports women's right to reproductive freedom, so they hate it.
Leftism supports ethical standards for the Supreme Court, so they hate it.
Leftism supports our justice system holding Trump and his mob accountable for their crimes, so they hate it.
Leftism supports school children's safety by banning assault weapons, so they hate it.
Leftism supports public education and public healthcare, so they hate it.
Leftism supports asylum for victims of war, crime, and tyranny, so they hate it.
Leftism supports our Constitutional taxes on the rich and corporations, so they hate it.
Leftism supports our Constitutional regulation of commerce, so they hate it.
Leftism supports our Constitutional provision for the general welfare, so they hate it.
Leftism supports the peaceful transfer of power, so they hate it.
Leftism supports cleaner air and water by regulating polluters, so they hate it.
Leftism supports feeding the poor and treating the sick, so they hate it.
Leftism supports and protects our Constitutional democracy and voting rights, so they hate it.
American neo-Nazis like DeSantis, Trump, and his cult will accuse all who oppose them of being "communists". Just like Hitler did to those who didn't "Sieg Heil" and goose-step for his Third Reich.
No wonder they purged Liz Cheney for daring to speak out, "No party, no nation, no people can defend and perpetuate a constitutional republic if they accept leaders who have gone to war with the rule of law, with the democratic process, with the Constitution itself.”
This is why American neo-Nazis love Trump and DeSantis. They share the same white nationalist hate for democracy and our ideal of consent of the governed. They share the same hate for fellow Americans who don’t look like them, or show intelligence, honesty, decency, and compassion.
Those are NOT their values. They seek wealth, power, and one-party control of our country, and above all, to punish people they hate. There’s the reason they want to destroy leftism, and not fascism.
They are enemies of our Constitution and democratic republic, and they have earned their designation as “neo-Nazis”.

Documents reveal DHS ‘dirty tricks’ operation attacked Christians, conservatives and tied them to Nazis.
Government targets Christians, conservatives in DHS hit job, part of Biden’s latest abuse of power.
A bombshell of newly uncovered information reveals the Biden administration using federal funds to wage a covert war of dirty tricks designed to destroy the reputations of prominent Christian organizations, several highly respected conservative public policy groups, a major cable news network and even the Republican National Committee. These groups are among the targets of a program aiming to systemically delegitimize political dissent beyond the president’s own party.
Under the Biden administration’s direction, the Department of Homeland Security has funneled $40 million taxpayer dollars away from bona fide anti-terrorism programs and into a weaponized operation deceptively known as the Targeted Violence & Terrorism Prevention Grant Program (TVTP).
Originally conceived to target terrorists and violent gangs, the Biden administration hijacked the program and subsumed it within the DHS Center for Prevention, Programs and Partnerships (CP3), a terrorism task force reimagined for political ends.

We clearly see anonymous did not read anything in the post. Neo-Nazis don't bother with trying to understand what others say. In their rigid indoctrination they FEEL they have ALL the answers, and reject the ideas and thoughts of anyone and everyone who is not one of them.
One of the primary traits shared by American neo-Nazis and the original German Nazis is playing the "victim card". The poor suffering wretches feel white people are the "real victims of racism" and persecuted for their "conservatism", just like Hitler told Germans they were the Aryan victims of Jews and Communists.
It is part of their ideological foundation to justify their hatred and suppression of any opposition.
Now the neo-Nazis are clutching their pearls and have their panties in a wad over the DHS “Pyramid of Far-Right Radicalization”.
The base of the pyramid has FOX®, the NRA, and the Republican Party as the foundation of far-Right radicalization and propaganda. These have all promoted Trump’s radical Big Lie and whitewashed his coup as “legitimate political discourse”. We remember Hitler’s version of Trump’s failed coup was his 1923 Munich “Beer Hall Putsch”.
A step up the radicalization pyramid shows MAGA, Prager U, Proud Boys, Turning Point USA, Oath Keepers and Infowars. Among these are the far-Right radical seditionist thugs who stormed the Capitol, terrorized Congress and beat cops to overturn the election.
Above these groups we find the openly fascist/racist neo-Nazi groups. And they ALL support Trump.
These radicals are not “conservatives”. They do not value our elections, democratic institutions, or rule of law, if they happen to lose an election. They want to suppress voting rights, deny reproductive freedom, and dictate what children can read and what teachers can teach. Black history, the LGBTQ community, and drag shows are their favorite targets to SILENCE. They have all embraced Trump’s Big Lie and routinely call Democrats “communists”. Neo-Nazis will always accuse the opposition of "dirty tricks" because that is what THEY do all the time.
This is all exactly what neo-Nazis would do. In fact, they are in lockstep with Hitler’s Nazis in their anti-gay, anti-choice bigotry:
On October 10, 1936 Heinrich Himmler created the Reich Central Office for Combating Homosexuality and Abortion, or Special Office (II S), a sub-department of Executive Department II of the Gestapo.
This is why they are prone to domestic terrorism, sedition and insurrection. Hell, yes, they need to be on a terrorist watch status. They are domestic terrorists or their supporters.
RFK Jr. Says Immigration Amnesty Shouldn’t Be Considered Until Borders Are Closed
Sounds good to me, how about you Dave?
Anonymous,
Thank you for your opinion. I disagree.
First, what is a "closed border"? Nobody gets through? That's impossible.
It's a concept that ignores reality. How about we expand immigration and hire enough people to manage it? Expand vetting and background checks. More jobs, more workers, more produce, more revenue, and a better economy.
Already crops are not being harvested due to draconian enforcement by the Right.
We NEED immigration and immigrant workers. Of course, if you fear or hate POC, that is another problem.
Second, It's easy for rich white guys and today's conservatives to allow suffering in desperate people.
It's not very Christian, though, is it?
I'm much more in line with Ronald Reagan:
The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986—signed into law by President Ronald Reagan on November 6, 1986—granted amnesty to about 3 million undocumented immigrants in the United States.
Closed border means no illegals get through and if the do and are caught they get sent home. Make that our policy.
Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) admonished “The View” on Monday over what he described as “dangerous, offensive, and disgusting” messages airing on the show about success among black people being the “exception and not the rule.”
During an appearance on ABC talk show, Scott — who recently announced his candidacy for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination — was asked by co-host Sunny Hostin to explain his claim that he doesn’t believe in “systemic racism” as she pressed him to then to define “systemic racism.”
“Let me answer the question that you’ve asked,” Scott said.
“One of the reasons why I’m on the show is because of the comments that were made frankly on this show that the only way for a young African American kid to be successful in this country is to be the exception and not the rule,” Scott said.
“That is a dangerous, offensive, disgusting message to send to our young people today, that the only way to succeed is by being the exception,” he added.
Hostin interjected and said, “It is. It’s been 114 years,” before Scott disagreed.
Senator Tim Scott to the hosts of The View:

“So, the fact of the matter is we’ve had an African American president, African American vice president, we’ve had two African Americans to be secretaries of the state,” Scott said. “In my home city, the police chief is an African American who’s now running for mayor. The head of the highway patrol for South Carolina is an African American.”
“In 1975, there was about 15% unemployment in the African American community. For the first time in history of the country, it’s under 5%,” he added.
Hostin interrupted Scott once again and claimed that all the examples he provided were “still exceptions.” She cited statistics in recent years showing African Americans, who make up 13% of the general population in the United States, accounting for 40% of the homeless population.
“You asked the question,” Scott replied. “I’ve watched you on the show. You like people to be deferential and respectful. So, here’s what I am going to suggest … progress in America is palpable. It can be measured in generations. I look back at the fact that my grandfather, born in 1921 in Salley, South Carolina, when he was on a sidewalk, a white person was coming, he had to step off and not make eye contact.”
“That man believed then, with some doubt now, in the goodness of America, because he believed that faith in God, faith in himself, and faith in what the future could hold for his kids, would unleash opportunities in ways that you cannot imagine,” he added.
“Every kid today can look. Just change the stations and see how much progress has been made in this country,” Scott continued. “ABC, NBC, CBS, ESPN, CNN, Fox News all have African-American and Hispanic hosts. So what I’m suggesting is that yesterday’s exception is today’s rule.”
Anonymous clarifies, "Closed border means no illegals get through and if the do and are caught they get sent home. Make that our policy."
This is essentially happening now. Most are turned away. Or idiots like DeSantis are sending them across the country. That's likely a crime and charges could be pending for him. That would make DeSantis an "illegal". Trump will be convicted felon soon, making him another "illegal".
The point being, a "closed border" is impossible. The default for bigots is to slam the door on legitimate asylum seekers.
Anonymous is outraged at the uppity women of “The View”.
So outraged he had to copy someone else’s outrage to share here. (Why is he afraid to source his propaganda? He’s afraid to choose a name as well.) To balance this utter lack of decorum, I’ll be generous enough to discuss his issue…This time. No more, unless he finds the ability to engage in good faith discussion.)
Scott was asked by co-host Sunny Hostin to explain his claim that he doesn’t believe in “systemic racism” as she pressed him to then to define “systemic racism.”
“Let me answer the question that you’ve asked,” Scott said.
This is a lie. Scott had no intention to answer her question, so he immediately dodged it. He pivoted to sneer his resentments with the show. “One of the reasons why I’m on the show is because of the comments that were made frankly on this show” regarding success among black people being the “exception and not the rule.”
This is only how he set up his attack, accusing them of sending a “dangerous, offensive, and disgusting” message. (A shameless minion who still abets the dangerous, offensive, and disgusting Trump wants to lecture them on how to send a message to the young. Isn’t that precious?)
Still ignoring the question, Scott pressed his deflection and resentment further.
“One of the reasons why I’m on the show is because of the comments that were made frankly on this show that the only way for a young African American kid to be successful in this country is to be the exception and not the rule…we’ve had an African American president, African American vice president, etc.”
Hostin interrupted Scott once again and claimed that all the examples he provided were “still exceptions.” She cited statistics in recent years showing African Americans, who make up 13% of the general population in the United States, accounting for 40% of the homeless population.(She is correct. He refers to the question he is avoiding, and then deflects more.)
“You asked the question,” Scott replied. “I’ve watched you on the show. You like people to be deferential and respectful. So, here’s what I am going to suggest … progress in America is palpable”. Yada, yada, “African-American and Hispanic TV hosts, etc.”
Again, all the examples he provided were “still exceptions.” He failed in making his deflection a rational one.
The point being, of course, is to NEVER talk about systemic racism, or to outright deny its existence.
So that was it. He meant only to rudely attack the women and rudely ignore their question. What message does THAT send to the young? It tells them Republicans are assholes, and they love to promote Black puppets to deny racism for them. “Our Black Guy sees no racism, so racism doesn’t exist!” they’ll spout, as they continue to do all they can to make it harder for Blacks to vote.
Republicans ARE systemic racism, in a political party.
Every one of them should be forced answer one question:
What is the difference between “driving while white” and “driving while black”?
Both the answer, and their refusal to answer, will show two examples of systemic racism.
