Heil, MAGA!

 

Since learning my father-in-law served in Patton’s Third Army in the Battle of the Bulge through the liberation of Buchenwald, I have become a serious student of World War Two history and Nazi Germany.

 

It didn’t start with camps and rounding up Jews. It started with HATE, lies, demonization and a 1923 coup, known as the “Beer Hall Putsch” or the “Munich Putsch”.

 

Ten years later Germans made the foolish and fatal decision to install the criminal coup leader as Chancellor.  The criminal Putsch Leader proceeded to seize control of the press and media, to demonize and scapegoat political opponents, Jews, liberals, educators, homosexuals, Roma, unions, and communists. In fact, ALL of those groups would be smeared as “communists”, “vermin”, and the “enemy within”.

The German Nazis used the term “Lügenpresse”, or lying press, in their campaign to destroy journalism. Now American fascists cry “liberal media” and “fake news” when the truth threatens their agenda. It was their favorite Big Lie for decades. But more were coming. 

Hillary’s “pizza parlor pedophile ring” was a doozy. Then came the Criminal President Trump’s BIG LIE, that the 2020 election was “rigged” against him. And let’s not forget their favorite racist lie, “They’re eating the dogs in Springfield”.

And this isn’t even the tip of their iceberg of lies. No wonder we learned from Ivanna that Trump kept ONE book in his bedroom. It was a book of Hitler’s speeches. 

Hitler understood how to manipulate people. Pander to anger, fear and resentment for the “enemy within”. He said, “I use emotion for the many and reserve reason for the few.” Hmm. No wonder the Criminal President Trump said, “I love the poorly educated”, and “Smart people don’t like me”.

In other words, “What good fortune for those in power that people do not think.” – Adolf Hitler

Let’s review some historical context and the disturbing similarities between Hitler’s Nazi Party and the Criminal President’s Republican Party. (Hint: They are both known for HATING democracy, equality, and a fair representative government. Scapegoating minorities, smearing those they hate as communists, DENYING women their reproductive freedom and pandering to Christian nationalists are just a few glaring similarities. But there’s more. Much more.) 

First up, the OG Nazis:

~~~~~

Pandering to Christians

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.

"The National Government will regard it as its first and foremost duty to revive in the nation the spirit of unity and cooperation. It will preserve and defend those basic principles on which our nation has been built. It regards Christianity as the foundation of our national morality, and the family as the basis of national life." - Adolf Hitler "My New World Order" - Proclamation to the German Nation, Berlin, February 1, 1933

"We tolerate no one in our ranks who attacks the ideas of Christianity ... in fact our movement is Christian."  Hitler’s Speech in Passau 27 October 1928

“Harnessing mass media”

A newly created Ministry of Propaganda under Joseph Goebbels centrally co-ordinated the themes of Nazi propaganda. Subsequently, his ministry spread these core messages through the mass media like the press, the radio or party rallies in order to influence public opinion… They also created fear around the idea of an enemy within. To this end, Nazis produced antisemitic propaganda.

The Enemy Within, “Jewish Communists”

In the 1920s and 1930s, Nazis were, in part, defined by their opposition to communism. After the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, Germany seemed vulnerable to the spread of communism, particularly after a communist uprising in Berlin. The Weimar democratic government was unstable, and its economy was in shambles. In their struggle against socialists and communists, fascists and other right-wing groups exploited the fact some prominent communists were Jews to harness antisemitism for their cause. Longstanding false links between Jews and Communism also underscored antisemitic conspiracy theories about Jewish global domination.

“The Enemy Within: Homosexuality in the Third Reich, 1933-1945”

From 1933 to 1945, the Nazi regime in Germany ruthlessly targeted homosexuals, particularly men, as enemies of the state.

“Labor History: Nazis Destroy Labor Unions in 1933”

On May 2, 1933, Adolf Hitler’s storm troopers occupied all trade union headquarters across Germany, and union leaders were arrested and put in prison or concentration camps. Many were beaten and tortured. All of the unions’ funds – in other words, the workers’ money – were confiscated.

Hitler’s seizure of the judicial system is the template for Trump.

“I expect the legal profession to understand that the nation is not here for them but they are here for the nation… From now on, I shall intervene in these cases and remove from office those judges who evidently do not understand the demand of the hour.”  - Hitler in 1942. 

Immigration

Hitler decreed there will be no more immigrants. "Any further immigration of non-citizens is to be prevented. We demand that all non-Germans, who have immigrated to Germany since the 2nd of August 1914, be forced immediately to leave the Reich."

The Nazi war on higher education and call for “law and order” started here:

The streets of our country are in turmoil. The Universities are filled with students rebelling and rioting. Communists are seeking to destroy our country. Russia is threatening us with her might and the republic is in danger. Yes, danger from within and without. We need law and order. Yes, without law and order our nation cannot survive. Elect us and we shall restore law and order." Adolph Hitler, Hamburg, Germany, 1932.

This should give anyone a basic understanding of how Hitler’s Nazis crushed or controlled justice, freedom, education, and democracy.

~~~~~~~~~~~

"Outrageous Progressive Communist, Democrats" is the lie that neo-Nazis spew to demonize people who disagree with them. When you're a MAGA neo-Nazi or OG Nazi, everybody to your left looks like a Communist. And when you're a MAGA neo-Nazi or OG Nazi, everybody IS to your left.

And now we examine Trump’s MAGA neo-Nazi tactics.

Pandering to Christians

“Eradicating Anti-Christian Bias”

It is the policy of the United States, and the purpose of this order, to protect the religious freedoms of Americans and end the anti-Christian weaponization of government…Yet the previous Administration engaged in an egregious pattern of targeting peaceful Christians, while ignoring violent, anti-Christian offenses.

The “Communist Enemy Within”

Trump and MAGA echo Hitler’s demonization again and again. The more MAGA shouts “communist Democrats”, the more they sound like lying Nazis.

The VILE Senator Mike Lee when he HATEFULLY LIED and gloated about the Minnesota Republican who murdered Minnesota Democrats, “This is what happens when Marxists don’t get their way.”

The Criminal President Trump: “I always say, we have two enemies. We have the outside enemy, and then we have the enemy from within, and the enemy from within, in my opinion, is more dangerous than China, Russia and all these countries. They’re Marxists and communists and fascists, and they’re sick… We must stop the communists, Marxists and fascist ‘pigs’ at every turn and, Make America Great Again!”

To be clear:

When Trump says “Communists, Marxists, and Fascists,” he doesn’t mean actual communists or fascists. He means Democrats. - Sarah Posner, author of "Unholy: How White Christian Nationalists Powered the Trump Presidency, and the Devastating Legacy They Left Behind."

Trump’s Uncle Adolf would heartily approve, as he would when Ted Nugent called President Obama a " communist-raised, communist-educated, communist-nurtured subhuman mongrel". Just don’t call him a Nazi. He hates that.

Trump’s weaponization of law enforcement and war on the judicial system reflects Hitler’s own war on the rule of law.

"We cannot allow a handful of communist radical-left judges to obstruct the enforcement of our laws and assume the duties that belong solely to the president of the United States.” – The Criminal President Trump

The DOJ and FBI have been purged of everyone deemed insufficiently loyal to Trump. Anyone who assisted in bringing Trump's January 6 thugs to justice has been fired.  Law firms such as Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP  who represented people Trump hates have been bullied, threatened, and extorted. Former Director James Comey was ordered arrested by Trump. New York Attorney General  Letitia James is facing Trump's vengeful wrath. 

Immigration

One would have to be blind not to see how Trump and Hitler would see eye-to-eye on immigration, especially by "those people". No more "scum and vermin eating the dogs in Springfield". In fact he even reinstated restrictions on legal immigration. 

The fascist MAGA war on education and media is in full force.

Universities and news media are being extorted by bogus lawsuits to fall in line with Trump. Museums are being bullied into showing only what meets Trump’s approval. 

Trump posted, "The Museums throughout Washington, but all over the Country are, essentially, the last remaining segment of "WOKE". The Smithsonian is OUT OF CONTROL, where everything discussed is how horrible our Country is, how bad Slavery was, and how unaccomplished the downtrodden have been --Nothing about Success, nothing about Brightness, nothing about the Future. We are not going to allow this to happen, and I have instructed my attorneys to go through the Museums, and start the exact same process that has been done with Colleges and Universities where tremendous progress has been made." 

Trump threatened and extorted Columbia University out of $221 million. He is pressuring Harvard to pay $500 million to settle inflated accusations of campus antisemitism.

Paramount Global, the parent company of CBS, settled a lawsuit with Donald Trump over a 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris that aired in October 2024, because they EDITED the interview, like almost every TV program does. (It’s entirely OK for FOX to lie and edit all they want in Trump’s favor.) Paramount agreed to pay $16 million as part of the settlement.

Damn right, that’s fascism. 

Let’s not leave Trump’s Reichsfuhrer of propaganda out of the discussion.

Stephen Miller:

"Children will be taught to love America. Children will be taught to be patriots. Children will be taught civic values for schools that want federal taxpayer funding…We’re going to make sure these funds are not being used to promote communist ideology. For any nation to be successful, it cannot teach its children to hate themselves and to hate their country.”

Miller again:

The issue before is now is very simple and clear. There is a large and growing movement of leftwing terrorism in this country. It is well organized and funded. And it is shielded by far-left Democrat judges, prosecutors and attorneys general. The only remedy is to use legitimate state power to dismantle terrorism and terror networks.

It’s obvious the MAGA solution is a “final solution” that eliminates ALL political opposition, even to the point of FALSELY calling Democrats Communists and terrorists. Who’s so naïve as to think they wouldn’t round us up without due process and a trial and send us to the camps?

Trump’s own words reveal his true nature:

 

“Comrade Kamala Harris is terrible for our Country. She is a Communist, has been a Communist, and will always be a Communist.”

“Reports are the Marxist Special Prosecutor, DOJ, & FBI, want to Indict me on the BOXES HOAX.”

We will Root out the Communists, Marxists, Fascists, and Radical Left Thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country…

They’re poisoning the blood of our country. That’s what they’ve done.

Just a quick reminder for liberal Jews who voted to destroy America and Israel because you believed false narratives!

Let's hope you learned from your mistake and make better choices moving forward!

Any Jewish person that votes for Democrats hates their religion.

Would you rather have the Black president or the white president?

I think they want the white guy.

Hitler did a lot of good things.

We fight like hell. And if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore. (Trump, Jan. 6, 2021, before he watched his goons beating cops for HOURS on TV hoping they would succeed, then he PRAISED and PARDONED his THUGS for trying to overturn an election.)

Sounds pretty damn Nazi to me.

The World’s Sorest Loser whined that the Constitution should be terminated because he lost.

“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,” Trump wrote in a post on “Truth Social”.

Finally, he begged six corrupt and HIGHLY partisan CON-SERVATIVE Supreme Court Justices to subvert the Constitution for him by shutting down the 14^th Amendment’s rule that prohibits insurrectionists from holding office, and granting him a fabricated travesty called “presidential immunity”.

There you have it. The TERMINATION of a constitutional republic. All DICTATORS are above the law. That’s why we call them dictators.

As composer Frank Wilhoit said: "Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect. There is nothing more or else to it, and there never has been, in any place or time.”

More supporting evidence on Con-servatism’s double standard.

Paul Manafort: Pardoned for lying to protect Trump.

George Papadopolous: Pardoned for lying to protect Trump.

Mike Flynn: Pardoned for lying to protect Trump.

Roger Stone: Pardoned for lying to protect Trump.

This is what American con-servatism has wrought. History shows con-servatism reveres wealth and the wealthy and tolerates corruption by the economic elites. It always has. Democracy and equality have always been a threat to con-servatism. 

The bottom line:

Fascism wouldn’t exist if not for support from wealthy con-servatives.
