Godwin’s Law states “As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Hitler approaches 1.” This is a bit of a joke that is funny for its truth. With the recognition of the joke, comparisons to Hitler were often recognized as a childish, simplistic ad hominem.

Despite the joke, it became a favorite tactic to call people to be disagreed with on no substantial grounds “racist”. This was suggested as a standard tactic for journalists affiliated with the now exposed lefty cabal known as JournoList which was shut down in 2010 due to exposure to the light of day.

Though that specific secret group was shut down, journalists nonetheless found wisdom in the ideas that sprang from it. Media props have been calling people racist ever since.

Enter Trump. This guy is so repulsive that he was expected to loose even to the worst candidate in US history. Since he won, and showed his presidential persona to be almost as repulsive as his TV reality show persona, media personalities have turned everything to 11 no matter what it is in a fight against Trump. That means turning Godwin’s Law to 11 as well. To do that, people have to publicly pretend to take it seriously, as the media is happy to do. Thus, Hitler seems to be a popular topic. But he remains a childish, simplistic ad hominem.

Because the left love Hitlerian tactics. Use violence, shoutdowns, propaganda, censorship, frame your opponents, all of it. When the left calls you something, it's guaranteed that they actually are the name they call you. Nothing in the West is more Hitlerian than Progressivism.

Because Democrats like to accuse the nonviolent of being Nazis while they, the left, act and perform just like Nazis. Demonization and slander has always been the left's motto.

Likely, it is because of Trumps affection of authoritarian leaders, like Putin, Kim, and others who get to be unquestionable, right wing leaders. A "Permanent President" like Putin, or the Chinese, or the Philippines, or the Saudis, is just what he wants ... along with Faux and Friends ... and their right wing followers! Constitution be damned! America .... VOTE!

The far left has taken over the Democrat Party and essentially become the far right.

Hello S:

In response to racial violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, Trump called the Nazis FINE PEOPLE.. Since Trump appears to have their back, they figured it was safe to come out..

excon

Progressives love the Brown Shirt Tactics what more needs to be said !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Because the media can't take Trump on on policy. They must destroy HIM because they cannot win in the battle of ideas.

It is because the left is lashing out, butthurt that Trump accomplishes things that Obama said were impossible.

Because leftists and Islamists have a fixation with destroying Israel and the Jews. They are cuddle buddies because leftism is centered around antisemitism.
