Trump is Literally Hitler...Again...

Link for the truly bored.

To repeat myself repeating myself:

[1] They lie about what Trump says even when what he actually said is on video for everyone to see. The left maintained the "very fine people" lie for seven years before Snopes broke ranks and admitted what everyone already knew--or should have known. He was on video saying the exact oppostive of what they said he said. If you believe what his critics say about what Trump says off video...well...that is foolish, IMO.

[1'] Oh and don't forget the "Russia, if you're listening" witticism. Lefties went absolutely batshit about that...even though it was obviously a jokey comment. I STILL see lefties refer to that as part of their "Russian collusion" case/fantasy. Trump's sense of humor is probably the source of a lot of this nonsense.

[2]  Kelly and Goldberg were both involved in the "suckers and losers" lie as well.

[2'] I should say "the 'suckers and losers' probable lie"...but, y'know, I'm just done with these people. I'm done listening patiently to lie after lie about people outside the woke-elitist-blue-team circle of trust, only to eventually find out they were, indeed, lies. IMO Kelly was dishonest in this case at the very least, going along with the general story line that he had claimed to have heard the "suckers" and "losers" utterances himself...but never, so far as I can tell, actually having made that claim. So far as I can tell, Kelly is spreading hearsay but trying to make it sound like something he heard personally. The claim was denied by basically everyone else with Trump on the relevant trip.

[3] Kelly says that Trump said that "Hitler did some good things too."

Kelly says that made roughly the following argument to Trump:

(i) you shouldn't say that

and

(ii) That everything Hitler did was done, basically, to aim at establishing a totalitarian state, the Final Solution, etc. So "you could argue" that everything he did was evil.

Suppose, as I doubt, that this is true:

[3a] Hitler (or at least the Nazi state) did, in fact, do some good things. The Nazis were environmentalists, and passed some of the first environmental protection laws. They initiated campaigns against smoking and drunk driving. They were health nuts--you'd think that progressives would at least appreciate that... They implemented animal welfare laws. Also the autobahns.

This is just a partial list from memory. I read a lot about the military history of WWII, but not this kind of stuff. So I don't know which of these we can really say that Hitler himself did.

You've got to be delusional to think that everything Hitler ever did was done for evil reasons. Sure, he discouraged smoking...but he did it so there were more people alive...so he could kill them...

Kelly's argument that you "could" say that everything Hitler did was aimed at evil is just dumb. It's moral grandstanding. You could say a lot of things. You could say a lot of false things.

[3b] But Kelly's right about this much: you shouldn't say those things. Or, rather: if you do say those things, you're either a Nazi sympathizer or people are going to think you're a Nazi sympathizer. You can praise leftist totalitarian lunatics. You can get away with e.g. praising Mao for dragging China into the 20th Century. You can even get away with praising Stalin. But not Hitler. Not for any reason. No way.

But that's just some kind of superstition or something. The fact is that even terrible people are usually not terrible in every way.

[4] Kelly also alleges that Trump said that he wished he had some generals like Hitler's.

Well, again: you can't say that REEEEE...etc.

But...Hitler did have some excellent generals.

Still, I've gotta agree with Kelly: just don't say that shit. You loon.

But, admittedly, I'm basically done.

I'm done with the TDS crowd. I'm done with the big blue media lie machine. And I'm done with spinning everything Trump says into something it isn't. And this isn't fascism, nor is it some indicator of fascism. This is Trumpian logorhea and contrarianism--to the extent that it's anything at all.

Look, it's not prudent to say anything good about Hitler--but that's basically the end of it.

And we have to choose between (a) a logorhean, contrarian candidate and (b) the big blue lie machine. Which, to be perfectly clear, could be telling the truth in this case. Probably not--but it has happened.

When you add that the Democrats are objectively wrecking the country and will objectively continue to do so if elected...and that they are supported by this massive propaganda machine...

I dunno, man.

I'm just done with these damn people.

(Note: not normal blue-team people. But the apparatchiks and nomenklatura and the vanguard.)
