Is Trump Hitler or not?

During a political rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, former President Donald Trump was injured in an assassination attempt that left at least one audience member dead and others critically injured. Trump was seen raising his fist in defiance as he was escorted from the stage amid the chaos, blood dripping from his right ear after he came within just a few inches of joining the list of murdered political figures in U.S. history.

While prayers, shock, and outrage exploded across the country, figures on the Left rushed to condemn the attack. Democrat after Democrat released statements rejecting political violence and celebrating Trump’s survival.

Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) thanked God that Trump was safe, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) denounced the “horrific incident” as “absolutely unacceptable,” and two hours after the attack President Joe Biden eventually described the act as “sick,” saying that there is “no place in America for this kind of violence.”

This is a weird way to talk about a man who is no different than Adolf Hitler, at least according to Democrats.

Do they truly believe we are stupid enough to forget their rhetoric after Trump had the audacity to beat Hillary Clinton?

Biden, the Democratic Party, and the legacy media have spent years spewing endless propaganda with one goal: to smear Trump and anyone who dares to consider voting for him as Nazis, white supremacists, fascists, deplorables, and even villains from the pages of The Handmaid’s Tale.

And while they squeeze out incessant crocodile tears over the nonexistent incitement of violence by Republicans, Democrats have leveraged violent speech in pursuit of power.

Specifically, they have painted Trump as a 21st-century version of Hitler to win votes. And the media happily played along.

“The reich stuff — what does Trump really have in common with Hitler?” the Guardian asked in June. “Trump’s Hitler Fascination Is An Ominous Echo of the 1930s,” Bloomberg warned in April. And just a week ago, a New Republic cover featured Trump adorned with a Hitler mustache under the headline “American Fascism.”

But if Trump truly is the reincarnation of one of the most infamous genocidal maniacs in human history, as Democrats have warned for years, why are they suddenly upset that someone failed to protect us from Hitler 2.0?

Either they are pro-Hitler, which opens its own can of worms, or it turns out that Trump is not Hitler and they’ve been lying for years for cheap political gain and are only now facing the embarrassing and deadly reality that words can have consequences.

Neither of these options is good.

The gaslighting must end. The hypocrisy must end. The violent rhetoric must end. As for Biden and his team of degenerates, they must explain either why they are sending Hitler their best wishes or why they spent years labeling Trump as the face of American fascism that must be stopped by any means necessary.
