B-Man Posted Thursday at 03:55 PM Posted Thursday at 03:55 PM Please read it all. Hitler All the Way Down The Left trivializes real totalitarianism. Daniel J. Mahoney The grotesque banalization of Hitler and Hitlerism proceeds apace. The American Left’s discourse is replete with comparisons of President Donald J. Trump to Adolf Hitler and constant evocations of a dangerous “fascist” threat to democracy supposedly coming from an altogether illiberal Right. Kamala Harris labeled Trump a fascist and Nazi sympathizer in a CNN town hall meeting in October, and she and the mainstream media continued to pile on until the November election. When Trump held a rally at New York City’s Madison Square Garden on October 27, a little over a week before the election, many Democrats, and the increasingly hysterical talking heads on CNN and MSNBC, compared that rally to a meeting of the pro-Nazi German-American Bund in that same venue in 1939. Completely disregarding the impressively multiracial character of the MAGA supporters gathered to hear Trump, as well as the large contingent of Orthodox and Hassidic Jews also in attendance, the media incessantly identified Trump with Hitler and “fascism.” Not only was the deep-seated evil that was National Socialism trivialized beyond recognition, and not only was fascism crudely (and absurdly) identified with any opposition to a hard Left agenda, but crucial distinctions between fascism, National Socialism, and democratic conservatism were elided in a deeply misleading manner. This drumbeat continues to this day. The Trump/fascism/Nazism elision is commonplace in leftist discourse. {snip} Examples of this reductio ad Hitlerum, as Leo Strauss once suggestively called it, are legion and are likely to continue for a very long time to come, thus compounding the damage. As Dennis Prager (himself Jewish) argued in an insightful syndicated column published on election day, immense moral and civic damage has been done to our country by leftists insisting on “calling Donald Trump a fascist and a Nazi and declaring him ‘Hitler.’” Prager points out that “if Trump is Hitler, then Hitler was Trump. Hitler was nothing worse than a German version of Trump—not the instigator of World War II and the creator of the Holocaust; just a German Donald Trump.” The core of National Socialism was a morally insane anti-Semitism and pseudo-scientific racism that, in the end, justified genocidal mass murder, limitless war, and contempt for all decency and moderation. Hitler equated patriotism with lupine imperialism, what Ernst Renan called “zoological” race wars. He recognized no limits above the will of the totalitarian Führer and the self-assertion of the German Volk. He was a nihilist through and through. Trump doesn’t remotely belong to such a perverted and monstrous moral universe. The defamation of American conservatives committed to the preservation and sustenance of a constitutional republic is accompanied by, and culminates in, the trivialization of the monstrous evil that is National Socialism. What is sacrificed is nothing less than the truth and the capacity for measured civic and moral judgment on the part of those who hurl such slurs, and those who hear and accept them. The indiscriminate use of “fascist” and “fascism” does serious damage to historical understanding. More at the link: https://americanmind.org/salvo/hitler-all-the-way-down/ 1
