Democrats and their friends in the news media have temporarily moved on from the tiresome “Donald Trump is a threat to democracy!” storyline to the all-too-original “Trump is Hitler!”
Making this effort particularly unique, they’re so open about the coordination. The media are usually at least partially discreet about deceiving, lying, and manipulating, but for reasons unclear they’re all perfectly fine with this episode being a transparent conspiracy between the White House and the Washington press.
The big reveal came Tuesday in a Politico article headlined, “Why Biden’s campaign keeps linking Trump to Hitler.” The story stated in earnest that Biden’s campaign “has entered a surreal routine” of “calling [Donald Trump] out” for deploying rhetoric “that historians say reeks of fascism.”
By “historians,” Politico naturally means “White House-approved ‘experts’ who will dutifully repeat that Trump is Hitler.” Sure enough, the story went on to assert “historians say that Trump’s recent comments about immigrants — as well as those likening his political foes to ‘vermin’ — have echoed Hitler’s words.”
For the extra mentally impaired (90 percent of Politico readers), the article explicitly quoted Biden’s campaign communications director claiming that Trump is “going to echo the rhetoric of Hitler and Mussolini, and we’re going to make sure that people understand just how serious that is every single time.”
