“If it Walks Like a Duck and Quacks Like a Duck, It’s a Duck”

If he Talks Like a Fascist and Acts Like a Fascist, He’s a Fascist

Adolf Hitler was given control of Germany in 1933. He and his Nazi Party were fascists who literally brainwashed an entire nation into believing that they would revive Germany’s economy and lead their nation to a new level of “greatness.” They sacrificed their freedoms and surrendered their basic human rights to a demagogue. All rational thoughts disappeared as Hitler’s propaganda machine convinced an entire country that everything he said was fact and that his orders must be obeyed.

Sound familiar?

Last Sunday Trump held another hate rally, this time in Madison Square Garden. The event featured six hours of crude and racist rhetoric, and has been compared to a rally supporting Hitler’s fascist beliefs in 1939. Trump’s “people” are denying the undeniable: Trump is a Nazi and would stablish a fascist regime if he is elected. Men who were members of his White House staff between 2017 and 2021 confirm Trump’s loyalty to Putin and Hitler. He told them that Hitler “did some good things.” Really? I couldn’t make this shit up.

Every plan in the 922 pages of Project 2025 came directly from Trump during one of his infamous hate rallies which began in 2015. It reads like a “fascist manifesto.”

The similarities between Hitler and Trump are accurate and frightening.

His supporters are a cult. They have been trained to believe that all reality comes from Trump and everything else is fake news other than his personal propaganda machine: Fox News.

We learned that Trump read Hitler’s speeches before going to bed when married to first wife, Ivana. We have watched him use a technique frequented by Hitler: “if you tell the same lie often enough, weak-minded men and women will eventually accept it as the truth.” Just think about it: Trump continues to claim massive fraud in the 2020 election although not an iota of proof exists.

Fascists can only survive if the people accept lies as truth, and their leaders have the support of the super-rich. Sound familiar?

Here is a partial list of companies which supported Hitler’s attempt at world domination, flourished then, and continue to have success in the 21^st century. [IG Farben (now Bayer), BMW, Daimler Benz (now Mercedes-Benz), Krupp, Siemens, Deutsche Bahn (formerly Deutsche Reichsbahn), and Deutsche Luft Hansa (now Lufthansa),]

Among other billionaires and their corporations, Trump has the support of Amazon and Tesla. Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk make no attempt to hide their association with the old man who would be America’s first Fuhrer.
