Transcript: Hitler didn't start with camps, he started with:

• Making Germany great again
• Banning books
• Targeting the press
• Blaming immigrants
• Creating enemies from neighbors
• Defunding the arts
• Stoking fear of outsiders
• Demonizing educators

Sound familiar? Or should I type louder?

Actually, we don't need him to type louder, he should type more rationally.

We shouldn't be surprised at the Hitler accusation. Every Republican gets called this, year after year after decade. It's standard rhetoric from the Left. They use the very same epithets, talking points, and bumper sticker slogans over and over. 

But for some reason, this fascism never happens. Case in point: We already had Trump as president for four years. We already know what he did, and we didn't get Hitler. We didn't get a tyrant. But the rhetoric hasn't disappeared. In fact, the Nazi/Hitler language if anything has intensified to the level of hysteria. 

Trump has been repeatedly called a dictator, authoritarian, racist, misogynist, homophobic, and a hater. Over and over and over. Daily. Apparently the Left must have some sort of focus group data that tells them this stuff is effective. We can't imagine how.

Regarding these epithets, we should note that the Left's ire is extremely selective. When their own side does these things everything is fine. But even if the Right DOESN'T do these things they get demonized for it. There is a phenomena we have deemed Mountain Man's Law (See tag at the bottom), which states, "If a Leftist accuses a conservative of something, it means that Leftists are doing that very thing."

So let's look at the leftist list:

• Making Germany great again: The problem here is that Leftists hate America. They don't want it great again. In fact, they believe it was never great. That's why they want to dismantle it, not make it great.

• Banning books: What this really means is that parents are concerned about porn in schools, masquerading as educational literature. The Left wants its issues taught to students, and the vehicle is books and teaching materials that conform to the leftist world view. The secondary goal is to tear down moral standards so children are more open to sex, especially with adults.

Parents on the Right want such material to be age-specific, de-agenda-ized, or simply removed from schools entirely. This of course is not banning books, because such a book is still readily available.

• Targeting the press: The press is a vehicle of the Left's agenda, so when Trump criticizes it he's attacking their semonizers. Thus the press is replete with bias and lack of integrity. It richly deserves Trump's attacks. But if attacking the press is truly Hitler-ish like the Left says it is, then they need to explain their unceasing attacks on Fox News.

• Blaming immigrants: "Immigrants" deserve blame when they commit crimes, don't integrate into society, milk the welfare system, or come to America illegally. 

• Creating enemies from neighbors: The Left WANTS neighbors to be enemies. This is part of their strategy to dismantle America. They want division, strife, and chaos, because they will attribute the ensuing destruction and hatred as being the fault of the evil American system.

• Defunding the arts: An excellent idea. Get these leftist artists off the public dole.

• Stoking fear of outsiders: If "outsiders" need to be feared, they should be. Especially if they're bringing their chaos into the country. Or replacing the American way of life with theirs.

• Demonizing educators: The American educational system is objectively failing. By every measurable standard it is in steep decline, and has been for decades. Part of the fault is with mal-educated teachers, but most of the blame for failing schools is government meddling. As the government finger thrusts deeper into public education, the worse the results.

We will close with the observation that the decline of schools, civility, and media did not occur under a Nazi-like Trump regime. It occurred with the Leftists in charge. They have dominated government for decades. Their governance has resulted in our current situation. Trump's been in government for 6 years. He certainly cannot be blamed.
