Since you seem to blindly be following Trump, I thought a few comparisons might be helpful. His actions bear striking similarities to the tactics used by authoritarian leaders throughout history, such as Hitler.
Trump’s Actions
1. Attacking the Free Press
• Trump frequently labeled the media as “fake news” and “enemy of the people.”
• He used his platform to discredit and delegitimize critical journalism and to spread known lies.
• Comparison: Similar to Hitler, who manipulated media and persecuted journalists to maintain control over public perception.
2. Demonizing Minority Groups
• Trump made derogatory comments about immigrants, women and people of color.
• He promoted policies to suppress rights and family separation at the border.
• Comparison: Hitler blamed Jews and other minorities for Germany’s problems and implemented systemic persecution.
3. Inciting Violence and Encouraging Loyalty Over Law
• Trump’s encouragement of violence by supporters, his praise of violent groups like the Proud Boys, and his pardons of ALL January 6 rioters.
• He often made statements against law enforcement agencies when they investigate his illegal activities.
• Comparison: Hitler used paramilitary groups (e.g., SA and SS) to intimidate and violently suppress opponents, undermining democratic institutions.
4. Undermining Electoral Integrity
• Trump repeatedly made unfounded claims of election fraud and attempted to overturn results and pressured state officials to alter the outcome in his favor.
• Comparison: Like Hitler during his rise to power, who manipulated elections and destroyed democratic processes to solidify his grip on power.
5. Cult of Personality
• Trump cultivated a strong, cult-like following, encouraging blind loyalty among his supporters.
• He often framed opposition as “un-American” , questioned their heritage and labeled critics as traitors.
• Comparison: Hitler built a similar following through intense propaganda, presenting himself as the savior of Germany and demonizing his critics.
6. Disregard for the Rule of Law
• Trump repeatedly dismissed legal challenges to his actions and is encouraging lawmakers to pass laws that are unconstitutional knowing he has bought the supreme court.
• He pressured government officials, such as law enforcement and the judiciary, to serve his interests.
• Comparison: Hitler dismantled the Weimar Republic’s democratic institutions and replaced them with authoritarian rule, disregarding any legal limits on his power.
7. Rewriting History and Stoking Division
• Trump often distorts historical events for political gain.
• His rhetoric is often aimed at deepening divisions between political and social groups.
• Comparison: Hitler rewrote history through propaganda to present his rise as inevitable, while demonizing the past and creating a false narrative of national pride.
