A lot of Democrats are stomping around, hyperventilating over Donald Trump being elected President. In their grief and despair at not having the absolute criminal Hillary Clinton as Commander in Chief they have resorted to a tactic their side has perfected over the past few decades—name calling and violence. One of the vilest names they’ve been hurling at the President lately is “Nazi.” I doubt most of them have any idea what that term really means so I’ll help with a historical overview so objective observers can better decide if that name actually fits, or if it’s just emotion-driven vitriol.

I’m certainly by no means an expert on the history of the Nazi party or their shenanigans. But, I have read William Shirer’s The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, Adolph Hitler’s own book, Mein Kampf and John Maynard Keynes’ The Economic Consequences of the Peace. At 1,529 pages, 688 pages, and 298 pages respectively, I probably have read more and know more about Nazis and pre-World War II Germany than most High School graduates or even college history majors today. So, let’s peruse the history books to see if we can find some support for the Democrat radicalists’ assertions that Trump is a Nazi.

Nazi was a political party in Germany originating in the early 1920’s. Its malevolent leader was one Adolph Hitler. As a political party, the name Nazi stood for National Socialist German Worker’s Party. Nazi is the shortened form of Nati(ional) Sozialist.¹

The Nazi party was practically foreordained by the post-World War I Treaty of Versailles which placed Germany on the hook for massive reparations payments of large annual sums of money as well as natural resources such as coal, iron and fish. Under the plan, Germany “ceded to the Allies all the vessels of her mercantile marine exceeding 1600 tons gross, half the vessels between 1000 tons and 1600 tons, and one quarter of her trawlers and other fishing boats. This cession is comprehensive, including not only vessels flying the German flag, but also all vessels owned by Germans but flying other flags, and all vessels under construction as well as those afloat.”²

While the treaty was ostensibly to provide reparations to England and France for damage done by Germany to their coal and iron mines during World War I, it also reached further by prohibiting Germany from raising taxes on the importation of luxury products such as wine, vegetable oils and artificial silk and washed and scoured wool... “These provisions strike at the authority of the German government to ensure economy in such consumption, or to raise taxation during a critical period. What an example of senseless greed overreaching itself, to introduce, after taking from Germany what liquid wealth she has and demanding impossible payments for the future...”³

It was these crushing economic conditions that forced the German worker to produce, only to have the fruits of his labor confiscated and sent abroad. Coupled with the economic poverty caused by the treaty to the average German citizen the seeds were sown for a Nazi-type party to form—a Socialist party—and for the people to back a man with an iron fist to be their standard bearer, Adolph Hitler.

So far, we can see the rise of the Nazi party and Trump’s rise to power have no similarities. But, Democrats don’t let things like facts get in the way of them ascribing to a certain position. So, let’s move on to the aspects of Socialism.

Under Socialism, you might be able to own your own business and generate your own profit, but the government is empowered by the voters to take a large portion of your profits—as well as the earnings of the employees and citizenry—through heavy and excessive taxation and redistribute that wealth to non-producers.

There is no motivation to excel or improve one’s own economic position under Socialism (or it's big brother, Communism) because at the end of the day, the government will end up reaping the benefit—not the person who exerted the effort—and then redistributing the fruits of that labor to others who have done little to nothing to earn it.

With all of the failings of Socialism and Communism, there is only one way countries throughout history have ever been able to enact and perpetuate those systems. They’ve always had to resort to a massive, bureaucratic, authoritarian police state. This is the idea that developed in Germany during the post-World War I reparations program as desperate workers sought a way out of their economic slavery. However, they unwittingly enslaved themselves to their own government instead.

The Democrat party has adopted all the tenets of Socialism. Welfare, food stamps, rent assistance, government health care, social security—all are ideas born of the Socialist movement of which the Nazi party adhered to. So, if any political party in the United States can be factually compared to the Nazi party, it would have to be the Democrat party.

President Trump is not a socialist. Sorry Dems, he’s a free market capitalist. While some of his policies can be deemed nationalistic, they’re only so to the extent of protecting the United States from foreign actors who are hostile to our way of life and wish to do us harm. [News flash: That’s what governments are supposed to do—protect their citizenry from hostile actors!] To that extent, President Trump took prudent action to temporarily halt the immigration to the U.S. of immigrants from countries who are known to harbor anti-U.S. terrorist elements until an adequate vetting process could be deployed to weed out the riff-raff—and Trump got that list of countries from the Obama regime. Oops, another inconvenient fact Democrats don’t want to acknowledge.

So is President Trump a racist? Does he hate all Muslims and is prohibiting all Muslims from coming into the U.S.? No. Sorry, Dems, that’s another talking point that doesn’t work to support your position. The Muslims who are affected by the temporary travel restrictions only account for around 13 percent of all Muslims worldwide. If a group of gang-bangers came into your neighborhood and were raping women and breaking into stores, would you leave your house unlocked and let everyone in who wore those gang colors? No, you wouldn’t. Be honest with yourself. You would want to know who you are letting into your house, what their intentions are and restrict entry to those who may want to steal your stuff or do you and your family bodily harm. That’s what Trump is doing, or at least attempting to do, on a national scale.

Hitler, on the other hand, had a twisted, demented Nationalism in his mind. Hitler considered Jews as the source of Communism and Marxist tendencies. He was vehemently anti-Communist and believed fighting the Jews was “in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator” and in his own words, “by defending against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord.”⁴

While Hitler opposed a group of people for their political ideology and eventually waged a war with extreme prejudice against them, that does not parallel with President Trump just trying to keep the bad people from coming to the U.S. (or others from sneaking in illegally.) The two positions simply do not reconcile.

Furthermore, Hitler believed there was a superior race of people and that he could somehow through inbreeding and eugenics create “racial purity.” He suggested that “all great cultures of the past perished only because the originally creative race died out from blood poisoning.”⁵That “blood poisoning” was what Hitler considered different races intermixing and having babies with each other.

President Trump has never insinuated any race or even religion of people were in any way inferior to those of the United States. So, I’m still not sure where the Democrat Socialists who are calling him a Nazi are getting their information.

Perhaps they’re suggesting he’s going to build an authoritarian police state. For the Nazi model, let’s look at Hitler’s authoritarian police state.

It started by Hitler seizing power from the aging President Marshal von Hindenburg in 1933 after the Reichstag fire, which he blamed on Jewish communists without any proof, and under threat of an armed revolt by his Stormtroopers, Nazi sympathizers and police similar to the Beer Hall Putsch he instigated ten years earlier with the help of those same armed Stormtroopers. During that putsch, Hitler attempted to gain control of the government at Munich by seizing a political rally of 3,000 people at the Buergerbräukeller beer hall via a force of 600 Stormtroopers and an acquiescent police force.⁶

President Trump did not seize power by force or even threat of force, nor did he employ what was essentially a private police force for his political party to enforce his elevation to President. Hitler did, but the Socialists in the Democrat party will wink, nod, and look past that fact, too, just as they have given pass after pass to the Clintons for their crimes over the past several decades.

But cheer up, it gets worse. The infamous Blood Purge of 1934 took place less than a year after Hitler came to power. The Sturmabteilung (S.A.), also known as the “brown shirts” or “Stormtroopers” were essentially Hitler’s own private political Nazi party police force. In addition to enforcing his will, they also sabotaged and broke up meetings of the opposition parties. However, a time came when Hitler didn’t believe he could count on the loyalty of some of its members. So he formed a new police force, the Schutzstaffel (S.S.) who proceeded on the night of June 30, 1934 to round up 150 S.A. leaders, stood them against a wall at the Cadet school at Lichterfelde and shot them dead by firing squad. The S.S. also shot and killed General von Schleicher and his wife in their home as well as General Kurt von Bredow and Gregor Strasser.⁷

Not only does President Trump not have his own private police force to do the bidding of the Republican party, he has not formed a super elite “S.S.” as Hitler did, to use them to assassinate police leaders and military generals he deems can’t be trusted. That job actually falls to the CIA, which has been around long before Trump and is controlled by hostile, foreign globalists who have hi-jacked the U.S. government for their evil and malicious ends.

In his quest for totalitarianism, Hitler even adopted a massive gun control act in 1932. It was the Democrat party that later enacted that same gun control act of Hitler’s, word-for-word, here in the U.S. in 1968. Trump didn’t have anything to do with that, either. Unlike the Democrats, Trump at least respects our right to self-defense.

I’m sorry, but so far the term Nazi simply doesn’t apply to Trump. But could it apply to Democrats, who are socialists?

Are Democrats Nazis?

In his book Mein Kampf, Hitler explained most people are basically simpletons who don’t spend much time thinking their position through in a rational way. Rather, he states; “the broad masses of a people consist neither of professors nor of diplomats. The scantiness of the abstract knowledge they possess directs their sentiments more to the world of feeling. That is where their positive or negative attitude lies. It is receptive only to an expression of force in one of these two directions and never to a half-measure hovering between the two...and the impetus to the mightiest upheavals on this earth has at all times consisted less in a scientific knowledge dominating the masses than in a fanaticism which inspired them and sometimes in a hysteria which drove them forward.”⁸

Fanaticism. Hysteria. Thinking with their emotions instead of in a rational way. These descriptions of the masses by Hitler—the Nazi-in-Chief seem to be describing many in the Democrat party today who use violence, fear, threat, duress and coercion in their rioting to complain about their political enemies and use that fear to affect change toward their emotion-driven ideologies.

I’m not going to go through the laundry list of Democrat-inspired riots, vandalism and in one case an ambulance with an injured person being prevented from passing because of a bunch of rabble cry-baby Democrats whining about not getting their way. Suffice it to say these radicals use threat and coercion as an art form—just as their forbearer, Adolph Hitler did in order to effect his political goals. The Democrat rioters today truly are the new Nazi S.A.—the brown shirts/Stormtroopers. Beating, breaking up, smashing and burning all political opposition to their failed and destructive social and political ideologies.

Trump’s Not a Nazi, but I’m still on watch

Trump simply doesn’t fit into the Nazi mold. But the Democrats certainly do. With all of that said, don’t walk away thinking I’m somehow dazzled with Trump and think he’s going to be able to fix everything without turning us into a police state. I’m still on watch and I will call Trump out when I see him doing something destructive, just as I did with George W. Bush (and lost subscribers and readers) and Barack Soetero Hussein-Obama (and lost subscribers and readers). Let’s face it, in the world of news reporting that relies on paid subscriptions and advertisers, it can be a very lonely and poverty-stricken battle for one who chooses to tell the truth—especially when the majority of the audience really isn’t interested in learning it if it conflicts with their world view.
