What the ... label?!?!?

    I used to hesitate to call Trump and MAGA Nazi's. I always found that too often people label someone or something they don't like as Hitler or Nazi's. However, the more you see of what Trump is saying and doing, as well as his sycophants, the comparison is obvious. One would actually be doing a disservice not pointing it out.

Blackmail and bullying:

   Whether it was willing or forced, German companies paid tribute to the Nazi's, which helped fund them. Many would also benefit from forced/slave labour.

   Billionaires are willingly funding Trump now to gain benefits from him. Just look at Elon Musk and the contracts his companies have been awarded since Trump took over. One of them was already approved for another company but taken away and given to Starlink. He is also bullying others, such as the law firms he has issues with, to do free work for him. Those firms who don't agree are punished. He actually tried banning them and their employees from ALL federal buildings. 

Vilifying minorities:

   A common tactic of fascists is to vilify minorities and immigrants. They turn their followers against them and use them to justify their actions. The Nazi's took it to new levels of horror.

   Trump has been doing that for a long time and MAGA has just gotten worse. They will tell blatant lies, such as the LEGAL Haitian immigrants being illegal and eating peoples pet cats and dogs. He has actually made public comments stating that immigrants have bad genes that make them criminals. 

   They paint all immigrants as illegal, even the legal ones, and use BS like this as justification to pull their status and deport them.

   Where do you even start on Trump and women? "Grab them by the pussy!" "She was bleeding form everywhere." Being convicted of defamation and CONTINUING to defame the person even today. Convicted for sexual assault. If a strong woman stands against him she is "nasty".

ICE and Homeland Security Roundups:

   Tied to other categories are the mass roundups of immigrants AND US citizens. They are then shuttled across the US to other states to be locked up with little to no recourse. Many of them are LEGAL immigrants, and citizens, whose only crime is not to be white. Even with evidence to people being US citizens ICE and DHS do not want to let them go, and in many cases were able to hold on to them longer. Like the case of Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez, a US born citizen.  A University student who co-authored an article critical of the US government was pretty much kidnapped by undercover ICE operatives and is in detention now. The US Government REMOVED her immigration status because she helped write an article critical of them. 

Concentration camps:

   Everyone in this day and age should know about the Nazi concentration and death camps. Of course there are those morons who deny their existence. The Nazi's rounded up undesirables, minorities, and sent them off to the camps. Some would be forced to do slave labour for the government and German companies, while others would be experimented on or put to death.

   Trump is shipping what he considers undesirables to what is basically a concentration camp in El Salvador. It is known to be a slave labour and death camp. People were shipped there with no due process. People who were not affiliated with the gangs Trump and his ass kissers claim they are and have never been convicted of a crime. Some of them were LEGAL immigrants to the US who had done nothing wrong.

    The US courts, including the Supreme Court, have ordered the government to get some of them back. Trump and his cronies LIE about the Supreme Court decision while openly ignoring and scorning the courts decisions. Trump even said openly that he wants El Salvador to build more camps and they will send American Citizens who are criminals there. They continue to lie and paint the innocent people they have victimized as criminals and terrorists.

Due Process and protection of the law:

   The Nazi's would twist or change the laws when they got into power to target the minorities they were vilifying. These tactics were used to justify, legally, stripping people of their property, freedom, and lives

   As mentioned when talking about vilifying minorities and concentration camps, Trump and his ass kissers are doing the same thing now. They are stripping people of their constitutionally protected right of Due Process. He is using Presidential Orders to justify attacking his perceived enemies and doing anything else he wants.

The Media:

   If Trump can't control the media he disparages it and attacks it. He actually labeled the media as the enemy of the people. Partisan hacks like Fox coddle Trumps ball sack and spin the hell out of stuff to make MAGA look good and everyone else bad. Meanwhile Trump attacks reporters and media companies and even mocked a reporter with a disability.

Lebensraum:

   Listening to Trump talk about annexing Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Canal immediately reminded me of Hitler. He talked about lebensraum. How Nazi Germany needed to expand into any territory they deemed necessary for the country to survive and grow. Which is pretty much Trump's reasoning for want to annex Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Canal.

Propaganda and lies:

   This also touches on some of the other areas I mentioned, the blatant lies and propaganda from the Trump Regime would make Joseph Goebbels smile. You can see it in the pre-election lies like the ones about Haitians eating cats and dogs that was aimed at promoting their anti-immigrant propaganda. You can see it in the current lies about the US Supreme Court Decision about Abrego Garcia. The regime's mouth pieces are actively twisting reality to fit their narrative and outright lying to make Garcia look like a criminal. 

   The piece of shit White House Press Secretary actually said the man's wife and children are better off with him in El Salvador! Their MAGA base laps this BS up as gospel and pushes their narrative. 

   It was announced the other day that the US Secretary of Defense Hegsworth is having any books he considers DEI pulled from the shelves of military libraries, such as those at the military Academies. The works of Maya Angelou as well as anything on the holocaust were deemed bad. Yet somehow Mein Kampf by Adolph Hitler is ok to stay.

   Goebbels was the master of The Big Lie and Trump and his ilk are following his example to promote their agenda.

Shit that just makes you shake your head: 

   The insanity that is the Religious Right and Trump. They call him their savior. They refer to him as the Messiah and God's anointed. They twist reality so that a serial adulterer, liar, and thief is the ONE that God sent to save humanity. They will ignore reality and twist it to support their narrative. It just boggles the mind.

   House Republicans have introduced a bill to rename Dulles Washington International Airport ... drum roll please ... Trump Airport. 

   In a homage to dictators like the Kim family of North Korea Trump's sycophants are wearing golden pins of Trump's face.

   One GOP MAGAT wants to put Trump's image on the $100 bill while another wants to create a $250 bill with trump on it.

   A congresswoman introduced a bill to add Trump's face to Mount Rushmore. Another one introduced a bill to make Trump's birthday a national holiday.

   Which of course is a perfect segue to Trump wanting to spend $100 million to have a military parade that would take place ... on his birthday.

One thing that really stuck in my mind was the bag licking  session that was called cabinet meeting. Where every cabinet member started their diatribe off by polishing Donald's knob with praise. 

   I watched a documentary years ago about Doctors Without Borders going to North Korea to perform eye surgery on people for free. At the end of the documentary was the big reveal. The patients had their bandages taken off and could see again. ALL of them prostrated themselves before pictures of the Great Leader and the Dear Leader thanking them for giving them their vision back. Praising them for everything they did for the people of North Korea. Vowing to work harder than any one else and be productive. They slobbered all over the Kim's knob. Mind you, if they hadn't, if they had actually thanked the doctors, they would most likely had been killed or sent to a gulag along with their families. This is what the TELEVISED portion of the cabinet meeting made think of. Which begs the question what did they do to and for Trump when the camera was off?

   The constant grifting he does. Trump Bibles. Trump NFTs. Trump bitcoin. Pleas to donate to help get him elected or defend against his enemies. Trump and his people are constantly coming up with new schemes to separate his morons, I mean supporters, from their money. And they fall for it every time.. How about the violations of the emoluments clause that Trump flouts?

   Sadly I could go on and on about shit like this. While it won't matter to the MAGATs it should matter to Americans. But I digress.

Conclusions:

   The Trump regime is doing a whole lot of goose stepping over the US Constitution and people's rights. If you can't look at what Trump and his cronies have been doing and saying and NOT see the direct comparisons to Nazi's and fascism you are either being willfully ignorant, a blind MAGA supporter/apologist, or just a moron.
