Two of the radio and television shows that I was on yesterday were hosted by liberals. In each case, they asked what I thought *we* can do to reduce political violence. For starters, I said, you can stop calling everyone you disagree with Adolf Hitler. They didn’t seem to think that was a good idea.
Which raises the question: Why do liberal politicians, talking heads and social media influencers relentlessly liken Donald Trump to Hitler? In every relevant way, Trump is the exact opposite of Hitler. Hitler invaded Poland, France, Belgium, Russia, the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Yugoslavia, Greece, and no doubt a couple more that don’t come to mind.

When they have nothing to argue they launch into ad hominem attacks particularly when they are dishonest.

Every Republican president since Nixon has been tagged by the radical left as "Hitler," although the fervency has escalated to the sky since President Trump walked down that escalator ten years ago. Yes, indeed, the Left's intention is to whip one of their sickos into deadly action.
Shortly before the Bush vs Kerry election of 2004, I was talking to a neighbor when he said, "You know who Hitler is, don't you?" (I knew what he was going to say.) "It's Bush." I got just about nose to nose with him, and yelled at the top of my lungs, "[F word] you!" Then I turned on my heel and walked away. An hour later, I saw him again, and he was smiling. He said, "You've got spirit. I like that." Then we became friends. I don't know how that works.

I think three reasons.
1. Its just lazy. If you can't debate the issues, shut down the debate by insulting the opposition. Your a racist, sexist, homophobe, nazi etc etc.
2. That person "is" stupid. That person can't be bothered with actual facts and just parrots what their peers are saying.
3. Hinderaker is correct. By manipulating weak, ignorant. Stupid people, eventually someone will take it upon themselves to "save democracy".
I think that Kirk's assassin falls into the above categories. He thought, thinks that he will be considered a hero. Small comfort while he's being creatively "abused" in prison. Hint, prisons don't provide personal lubricants.

The answer to that question is easy. Hitler was and is the most hated name that idiots can think of.
There were many just as bad as Hitler, For example Stalin, Pol Pot, Ayatollah Assaholah. but they are not smart enough to know that and Hitler is recognizable to most as someone to hate.
Hate is the answer.
They hate Trump and they want all of their cult to hate him also so they use the name Hitler as their hate verb.
My question is why do they hate Trump ? What did he do to turn from having his ass kissed by Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and other blacks to now earn their hate. Sure Trump is no Saint, he is rich, he likes women, beautiful women, not that dog that claimed he abused her in the dressing room of a store , but beautiful women. He got some money from his old man and made it work for him and got rich. Do they hate him for loving America?
IMO the Democrats hate him because he didn't come up in politics, in a system where you have to be corrupt to make it. You have to do favors, you have to sell your soul.
Dem politicians hate him, the media hates him and they work hard to see that their cult hates him. They hate him because they don't own him. He is a free spirit in politics and they hate that.

2 things:
1) completely agree. They really want PDJT dead and gone (and as many MAGAs as possible.)
2). “I think we conservatives should aggressively call out Democrats whenever they engage in encouragement to assassination. We have seen that their strategy works. We shouldn’t pretend that we don’t understand what they are doing. Responsibility needs to be laid at their door, and they need to be held accountable.”
But John never specifies how we lay responsibility at their door, nor how we hold them accountable.

There are more than one (reasons). But the most relevant seems to be the realization that they have lost the argument. Their ideas, programs not only don't work but are actively ruinous and harmful. And they have no other way to defend them. So the argument is you are being oppressed by a Hitler like figure. You don't realize it but we are here to save you. People who are convinced by that don't need convincing.

For your consideration: In a 1942 Ruling the Supreme court affirmed that there IS such a thing as "Fighting Words" that if spoken to someone face, or uttered in a public forum, they are entitled to Black your eye, Fat your lip, AND hold you criminally and civilly liable for defamation/damages. Most people are sommat aware of the concept, most do not know what words TRIGGERED that decision...It was the Term "Fascist", the Term "Hitler" is used interchangeably by the left today. Methinks, it is time we started charging them for it....and where "required", blacking eyes and fatting lips. Then taking it to court. Including on a "Class Action" basis.The LAW is quite clear upon the issue.

Projection...
The left thinks that THEY are the ones who should dictate their views on everyone. The left thinks THEY and THEY alone are worthy of wielding power over the 'ignorant masses'.
Everything the left accuses the right of is a product of projection. Everything.

Remember the scrawny little boys in elementary school who called everyone "poo poo head?" It's because they just need attention but aren't very smart. Same thing.

#7: I'm afraid at least half of the "contemporary" judiciary would overturn those precedents in favor of aggrieved Democrats who take a beating. That precedent would be upheld only with a clean sweeping of the judiciary of every Clinton, Obama, and Biden appointee... and a few appointees of Republicans that were made as "horse trades" to get favored Republican nominees through Democrat-controlled Senates. There's one nut-case District Court judge in Seattle who was put there by Reagan in such a trade, and they guy is now older than dirt but still won't go away...
