The Lincoln Project’s latest creative draws comparisons between the Donald Trump campaign of 2024 and Adolf Hitler’s reign over Nazi Germany.
“This ad is another in our series demonstrating how Trump is promising that his second term would be anti-democratic in nature – and that we should believe him,” said a member of the group, by way of introducing “Translation.”
The 68-second spot begins with Trump promising to reissue a 2020 executive order targeting so-called “rogue bureaucrats” and “corrupt actors in our national security and intelligence apparatus.”
The sound is superimposed over Nazi-aligned German forces goosestepping down the street in historic footage, Jews being pulled from shops and beaten down by Nazi thugs, and supporters making the “Heil Hitler” salute.
Around the 30-second mark, sound of Trump vowing to create a “Truth and Reconciliation Commission” is juxtaposed with more video of Nazi loyalists making salutes.
From there, book burning footage provides the backdrop for Trump’s vow of a “major crackdown” on “government leakers” who collaborate with the “fake news.”
Trump’s promise to move government agencies outside of the “Washington swamp” is then backdropped by burning buildings.
“We’ve heard the kind of promises that Trump is making before, but last time they were in German,” a graphic asserts once the former President’s voice stops.

So true Sir Palmer,
Not to mention that everyone affiliated with the “Project” which is blastphiming the name of President Lincoln are all going to Hell if they dont “Turn Before They Burn”.
We can likely save around 30% of them if you and me could engage them in “Sage Discourse”.
The rest are agents of The Dark Angel who was cast out of Heaven and will burn for Eternity.
Everyone knows this to be true.

Today’s Republican Party is a garbage dumpster! The Party must be destroyed before it can be rebuilt from the ground up! This is no longer debatable….. it is a necessity!
Republicans are America’s worst enemy!
Vote all Republicans out of office!

“The Party must be destroyed before it can be rebuilt from the ground up” might well explain why they’re picking Trump again.

“It can’t happen here” by Sinclair Lewis who published the novel in 1935 as Adolf Hitler was making Germany great again.
Most historians agree that FDR’s New Deal — with all its flaws and warts, especially in the Solid South — saved the US from a revolution that would have resulted in a one-party dictatorship.
Today Trump exhibits authoritarian facets that ought to be taken seriously.

His buffoonish clownishness should not obscure the very real danger and/or his henchmen pose.
My Take
February 4, 2024 at 1:25 am
He is more a Mussolini than a Hitler. Starting with the personal arrogance.

Agreed. But Il Duce didn’t have the military and police that Trump could try to mobilize. Benito did have blackshirts, similar to DJT’s red hats and etc., who brutalized outspoken opponents — forcing castor oil down the throats of the least threatening and meting out worse treatment to those perceived to be more threatening to their Great Leader.
