The current administration’s zero tolerance policy for illegal immigrants entering this country makes it “necessary” to build “internment centers”. Parents and children to be imprisoned in these facilities could be
held for indefinite periods, and it’s been decided by the idiot trump that
detainees have no right to due process.
Snopes verified reports that
DHS is confiscating every possession of detainees, including rosaries, extra shoes, wallets and ID cards, children’s stuffed toys and even slips of paper on which the children’s parents had written the phone numbers of relatives in the U.S. Most confiscated property is ending up in the trash, never to be returned, including the only IDs these people have.
There is no excuse for taking and discarding people’s possessions, other than to drive home the point that the U.S. is now a cruel and heartless nation.
Despite conservatives' constant
denial of facts, the number of
parallels between the rise of
Hitler and the Nazi Party
and the idiot trump’s takeover of the GOP and his countless attempts to circumvent constitutional law
continue to grow. The examples follow:
Anyone visiting the U.S. Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC, will see many different items the Nazis confiscated from the Jews before they sent them to “internment centers”, better known as work camps or extermination “showers.” One of the most moving displays is the collection of shoes that were worn by the Jewish women, men, and children who were persecuted and murdered.
In Nuremberg, Germany the Nazis built the enormous Congress Hall. Hitler planned it to serve only one purpose, to hold his party’s annual rally. The zeppelin field and the huge parade grounds surrounding it were to
demonstrate Hitler’s power and to showcase him as
a larger-than-life figure saving Germany.
A portion of the Congress Hall now houses
an exhibit that chronicles Hitler’s rise to power and the tactics he used to achieve it. Apparently, the idiot trump has visited these displays and has taken
detailed notes describing carefully those tactics used in Hitler's rise to power.
Among Hitler’s techniques of persuasion were
big lies and propaganda repeated over and over and over until people believed all of it.
State propaganda broadcasts and his addresses to the people constantly
hammered home false accusations to dehumanize the so-called undesirables. Hitler’s dishonest claims that Jews were a danger to Germany and that they were taking jobs from good Germans, eventually led the vast majority of citizens to
accept his false claims, and his
portrayal of himself as Germany’s savior.
During his campaign, and after becoming president, the media has shown their audiences the idiot trump making nearly identical allegations about Hispanic people entering the U.S. from Mexico, illegally and legally. He asserts they are drug dealers, criminals, rapists, and thugs. African-Americans haven’t fared much better in the idiot trump’s rhetoric, and it
goes on day after day after day. His white supporters watch
FOX Noise, the
idiot trump’s privately-owned propaganda ministry. In the creation of the lies and misinformation released to the press and posted on Twitter, Sean
Hannity and Stephen
Miller share the role of Joseph Goebbels. (Sadly, hate radio and Internet sites like Breitbart echo his propaganda and have increased in number.).
From discrediting the press to calling for limitations on what can be printed or broadcast, the current administration is following the course set by the Nazis in the 1920s, nearly 100 years ago. Once established, the Ministry of Propaganda and Public Enlightenment, the Nazi government controlled film, radio, theater, and the press. Goebbels understood
in the world of propaganda, with government in control of all media, “Any man who still has a residue of honor will be very careful not to become a journalist.”
Americans can now watch the idiot trump and Co.
hammer home false accusations to dehumanize the so-called undesirables 24/7.
Naturally, the idiot trump’s mindless minions believe every negative comment and lie he tells them concerning Hispanic people and other minorities. So much so, they now feel justified by the idiot trump’s racist and xenophobic commentary, and openly express, by their words
and actions, their hatred of minorities and other groups and individuals they deem undesirable. Before January 2017, the universal condemnation of conscientious society shamed most of the idiot trump’s deplorable followers into keeping their unconscionable activities and opinions behind closed doors.
Hitler employed grandiose props to portray
himself as a god-like figure.
He created a flattering biography, which he wrote himself, but he was savvy enough to have it published under another German’s name. He understood that
conservative Germans would not accept such self-praise. This paragraph is from the Smithsonian: “The
Hitler of this episode belies the common misconception that
he was a primitive, raging, and nihilistic dark elemental force. Rather, he was a vicious con man and understood well how to run a scam. Hitler had no doubt it would be possible to operate in Germany’s political processes, systems, and the public sphere. His study of propaganda techniques while serving in World War I had provided him with an appreciation for
political narratives that would help him plot his way to power.
The idiot trump accomplished this easily with his willing white base, attending meetings with white evangelical leaders, his dramatic television staging, and his demand for a military parade to
honor himself and demonstrate his importance.
As nearly
everyone has seen, the
idiot trump praises himself constantly, often claiming that he is smarter than anyone else. And,
just like Hitler, he has
surrounded himself with extremist advisers who
will not challenge his warped world view but, indeed
support it. One of the worst is
Stephen Miller (mentioned above), his white supremacist adviser who crafted the anti-Muslim bans and
helped create the policy of stealing children from migrant parents and sending them throughout the country so their
parents may never be able to reclaim them.
The
Art of the Deal serves as the idiot trump’s version of
Mein Kampf, and was
co-authored by journalist
Tony Schwartz. Experts in psychology have written that, as co-author, it was necessary for Schwartz to study the idiot trump, which gives
Schwartz a better understanding of him than anyone else.
On June 12th
Schwartz tweeted a warning: “What I have been thinking about today —
watching the monster I helped to create - is ... teach your children well. Help them understand
how critical their values are. Every choice matters. There are no redos in life.”
The idiot trump spent his
life as a con man, and is
a chip off the old block.
He learned his crooked and corrupt ways
from his dear old daddy. In 2015 he added tens-of-millions of white Americans to his list of patsies, marks, and dupes, thus creating his voter base. All of them
love how the idiot trump speaks to their personal hatreds, fears, and paranoia.
Part of
Hitler’s scam was to make other leaders believe he was unstable and would quickly be replaced by the German people. However, the
idiot trump’s incompetence, that keeps world leaders wondering what he is doing, that incompetence
is genuine. His
mindless minions were quickly conditioned to
accept more and more
drastic behavior as normal.
During his rise to power
the Nazi leader created a myth that he alone could solve Germany’s economic and social problems (most stemming from Germany’s losses in World War I). He used this myth
to develop a cult of followers
devoted to him rather than to their country.
At his campaign rallies the idiot trump boasted that
he alone could fix the problems in the U.S., and many writers have
characterized his base as a cult that will swallow every piece of bullsh!t coming out of this administration.
Elizabeth Spiers, former editor of the New York Observer stated how, during a
meeting with Jarod Kushner, “ ‘I told Jared that I was particularly appalled by his
father-in-law’s birtherism stance, which I viewed as
cynical and racist.’ ”
“ ‘
He [Kushner] rolled his eyes and said ‘He doesn’t really believe it, Elizabeth. He just knows
Republicans are stupid and they’ll buy it’ ”. Of course, the conservatives’ denial of facts will have them believe their hero would never
call them “stupid”.
It took Hitler
several years to gain the power and government position
to carry out his white supremacist policy of killing German citizens lacking pure Aryan ancestry.
However, in just
eighteen months, Trump has been able to
convince his base that he is doing a great job and
he is their savior.
His base also remains
unfazed by the Gestapo tactics of ICE. (The subject of
their hypocrisy for the unborn can be addressed elsewhere.) And, their
blind devotion to the
idiot trump is scaring the he11 out of establishment
Republicans.
Like Hitler, the
idiot trump is a con man who has
no shame about being caught in lie after lie. And,
like Hitler, he has shown that
he loves the attention and
power of his position, not only to enrich himself and his family, but to
rise to the post of dictator, something his supporters would relish.
He could easily convince them the Constitution is nothing more than
a “goddamned piece of paper”.
Tony Schwartz (remember, he co-authored the idiot trump’s book) warns the
idiot trump’s "increasingly extreme behavior" will only "get worse". It will become more and
more important to him to
impose his cruel policies on people
who cannot fight back.
How can the people of any nation willingly go down this road?
