Kamala Harris needs to stop the Hitler rhetoric with Donald Trump – before we see more violence

Kamala Harris needs to stop the Hitler rhetoric with Donald Trump – before we see more violence

Imagine being Kamala Harris and walking away from Hitler, all the time, but no assassin will grant the wish and Donald Trump continues to build a significant lead. now what?

That’s the crucial question facing the vice president and desperate Democrats as, with apologies to Willie Nelson, the days are dwindling to a precious few.

So far, the response from Harris and her party is a steady drumbeat of more accusations of Hitler, more fascists and more dictators. despite the warnings, there are dog whistles for violence.

Kamala Harris compared Trump to a dictator. A?

It is not a stretch to imagine that someone on the sidelines would conclude that it is sane and moral to stop the modern version of a monster that launched a world war and killed 6 million Jews.

Judging by her response, Harris doesn’t care. “Nobody should be the subject of violence,” she told reporters Friday, then added, “but the American people deserve to be presented with facts and truth.”

Here it is. If the trigger comes, don’t blame me because I just told the truth.

Ex-prez “altered”

Disgusting as it is, Hitler’s accusation is the latest version of an eight-year effort by the worthies to paint Trump as un-American and a threat to democracy.

To borrow a phrase the left uses, they “alterified” him as a unique danger, putting a target on the back of a man already targeted at least twice and wounded once.

Not their problem. They have elections to win.

The anti-Trump jihad has been based on one lie after another, starting with the 2016 bid by Hillary Clinton, the FBI and the Obama-Biden White House to implicate him as a Russian agent. Robert Mueller’s probe came up empty, but House Speaker Nancy Pelosi took the ball and ran with two Trump impeachments, neither of which resulted in a conviction.

Out of office, he became an instant target of the Biden-Harris Justice Department, which bowed to the wishes of the White House and broke the historic barrier by bringing two federal indictments against a former president and playing major roles in two state criminal cases.

Several civil cases also emerged, all bearing Democratic imprints. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has stopped a dozen blue states from seeking to keep Trump off the November ballot. They did it, Dem agitators argued, to protect democracy.

That’s right – and the village had to be destroyed to save it.

As allegations against Trump piled up, the smart money assumed he was toast, and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former ambassador Nikki Haley were among the Republicans who thought he could win the party’s 2024 nomination.

But they, along with the Democrats, were quickly enlightened.

The mainstream choice

As we now know, the Dems’ criminal and civil cases made Trump more popular, not less. Something similar seems to be happening now.

The unabated rise of fear put him on the verge of winning the presidency again. As I wrote last week, I hope it’s a landslide.

This would be the ultimate decline in dirty tricks and the harmonization of law enforcement and the legal system, all amplified by the propaganda media.

Hitler’s firebombing is the last gasp and seems to be Harris’s mournful closing message.

Of course, the obnoxious Clinton jumps on the bandwagon. She nodded her head in pleased approval at the party convention when the crowd chanted “shut it down” and is now claiming that Trump is “actually recreating” the 1939 pro-Hitler rally which took place in the old Garden with its Sunday rally.

“President Franklin Roosevelt was horrified that America’s neo-Nazis and fascists had lined up to essentially pledge their support for the kind of government they saw in Germany. So I don’t think we can ignore that,” Clinton said on CNN.

Even for her, this is really strange. Trump has held dozens of rallies in various locations over the past eight years, but is this one Hitler-style because there was a Bund rally 85 years ago in a building with the name that no longer exists?

Get a grip, lady.

The relentless efforts to define Trump as outside the realm of the acceptable have somehow succeeded. The attacks have managed to obscure the fact that he, despite his highly unorthodox personality, pursues policies that are far more popular than those of Biden and Harris.

Their administration and their party’s increasingly radical positions are far outside the norm of the past 75 years of both major parties.

Consider the Dems’ unprecedented embrace of an open border. No party or leading official of any persuasion would ever dream of accepting 10 or 12 million uncontrolled migrants from around the world.

Yet Biden and Harris have done just that, and she prefers to give them all a path to citizenship. They will become effectively legal the day she takes office.

Cheap labor and new voters – what’s not to like?

Similarly, the administration’s out-of-control spending, its no-nonsense approach to high crime, falling educational standards, rising inflation and cultural deviance are unprecedented.

As such, they are at odds with how most Americans have traditionally seen their government and the world, and where both sides have planted their flags.

Not coincidentally, those policies have failed, which is why the administration is so unpopular.

I dem the extremism of abortion

Abortion is another example of their radicalism. Long after the controversial 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, many leading dignitaries, especially Catholics, were sympathetic to the pro-life position and uncomfortable with unrestricted abortion.

The divided sympathies were so strong that Bill Clinton created a linguistic compromise for his party when he declared that abortions should be “safe, legal and rare.”

Yet these days no Dem with any hope of a political future dares suggest that abortions should be “rare.”

It would be political suicide.

But Trump actually comes closer to the Bill Clinton formula when he supports abortions in cases of rape, incest and the health needs of the mother.

In doing so, he angered a lot of Republicans because the GOP was a pro-life party.

Harris, on the other hand, reject any inclusion or exception to the position of unlimited abortion on demand, even for Catholic hospitals. Against the backdrop of recent history, her position is far more radical than Trump’s.

Their positions on the corporate tax rate provide another example. When Trump took office in 2017, the rate of C corporations was 35%, among the highest in the world.

The changes he imposed reduced the corporate rate to 21%, in line with the European average of 21.3%.

He now proposes to cut it by 20%, while Harris wants to raise it to 28%. If it gets its way, American companies with international competitors would be at a big disadvantage, and stock prices and employee wages and benefits would likely change to reflect higher government taxes.

The pattern extends to foreign policy, where the Biden-Harris faith in quiet has brought the world closer to a world war.

And they call Trump dangerous.
