If you only pay attention to politics for the last two weeks of October every four years, you may be unaware that the Democrat Media Industrial Complex likens every Republican Presidential Candidate and every Republican President to Adolf Hitler. Yes, it’s true. The Hitlerizing of the Republican Candidate is a quadrennial propaganda activity that the Dems run from their playbook no matter who the candidate on the Right is.
Hitlerizing is the process by which even the most liberal, soft spoken Republican candidate becomes the most hated mass-murdering Fascist taught in schools today. You know, like Mitt Romney. From the Washington Post in 2012:
Two Democratic officials attending the convention have described Republican falsehoods by quoting Nazis — one Hitler, one Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels. South Carolina Democratic Party Chairman Dick Harpootlian then compared his state’s governor, Nikki Haley, to Hitler girlfriend Eva Braun.
Mitt Romney, his running mate Paul Ryan, and Nikki Haley? You could laugh but it is truly sad and tired. The Washington Post has catalogued many of these Fascist Dreams and Hitlerizing in an article: “Reductio ad Hitlerum: 60 years of Democrats falsely calling the Republican nominee a fascist”:
To update a famous quote attributed to Benjamin Franklin: In this world, nothing is certain except death and taxes — and Democrats labeling the Republican presidential candidate a fascist for the last 60 years.
It’s been an integral part of the Democratic political playbook, utilized almost as much as calling the Republican nominee a racist. Yet, somehow, after each warning, the Third Reich has yet to materialize in the United States. This includes when former President Donald Trump was president from 2017-2021. Despite six decades’ worth of Democratic warnings of impending fascist doom failing to come true, it has never prevented the left-wing party from engaging in Reductio ad Hitlerum.
I agree and I remember the Democrat Media Industrial Complex Hitlerizing Reagan, both Bush Father and Son, McCain, Romney and Trump. The Examiner article begins with Barry Goldwater in 1964:
Let’s start with former Sen. Barry Goldwater (R-AZ) and his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention in 1964. Over 50 years before Trump decided to run for president, celebrities, journalists, politicians, and other politicos warned that the GOP presidential nominee was an extreme fascist who would cause considerable harm to the country. Goldwater, who served as a pilot during World War II, was likened to Nazis and fascists for promoting conservatism during his presidential campaign.
There was a President in the 1950’s who defeated Adolf Hitler and the Nazis in 1944 and he carried out the largest mass deportation in history. To you want to call President Eisenhower a Nazi, to Hitlerize Ike. Donald Trump praised Operation Wetback:
During Operation Wetback, tens of thousands of immigrants were shoved into buses, boats and planes and sent to often-unfamiliar parts of Mexico, where they struggled to rebuild their lives. In Chicago, three planes a week were filled with immigrants and flown to Mexico. In Texas, 25 percent of all of the immigrants deported were crammed onto boats later compared to slave ships, while others died of sunstroke, disease and other causes while in custody.
It’s not clear how many American citizens were swept up in Operation Wetback, but the United States later claimed that 1.3 million people total were deported. However, some historians dispute that claim. Though hundreds of thousands of people were ensnared, says historian Kelly Lytle Hernandez, the number of deportees was drastically lower than the United States reported—likely closer to 300,000. Due to immigrants who were caught, deported, and captured again after re-emigrating, it’s impossible to estimate the total number of people deported under the program.
The Toni Fact Check says some people wouldn’t deport anyone. We need mass deportation. Countries either have laws and borders or they have no country. Yesterday, Hillary Clinton went full Joseph Goebbels in Hitlerizing Donald Trump. She likened his coming Madison Square Garden rally to the Nazi rally there in 1939. Our Carol wrote it up and you can read Carol here.
Scott Jennings could not be long for CNN with this kind of rant. Every Republican is Hitler. He’s young so he doesn’t remember anything before George W. Bush:
CNN's @ScottJenningsKY absolutely shredded this Trump/Hitler news cycle by the left and John Kelly.
Scott's correct to point out the decades now of Republicans from George W. Bush to McCain to Paul Ryan and now Trump all being called Nazis by their opponents. pic.twitter.com/yyE4MqRMIm

Read the full Examiner article. It is spot on. In the painting above, T.R. Roosevelt and Abe Lincoln couldn’t have been Adolf Hitler, but they were probably called fascists. The Democrat Party never gets new tricks.

Abe and Teddy were both quite progressive for their times.
But, of course, they weren’t Democrats, who view the world in terms of ubermensch and untermensch. So the cry goes up – “Sic temper tyrannis!”
And yet no one is asking which party is the “from the river to the sea party?”
Not even the 94 year old Holocaust survivor went there.
