Some still consider it controversial to call our angry American authoritarians Nazis. Read any history of the Nazi movement and their seizure of power and you will encounter many similarities, including an eerily familiar cast of characters across both regimes. Loyalty to an infallible (if also insane) megalomaniacal Leader was the first, and last, rule in Nazi Germany, it is the only rule for government work in Trump’s America. A nonentity like Himmler, or Eichmann, or dozens of other obsequious, supremely ambitious mediocrities, could rise to the top of the Nazi hierarchy by showing the ruthlessness to loyally do whatever vicious, destructive, atrocious action (Aktion in the original German [1]) Hitler suggestd needed to be done.
I know one argument against this administration being like the Nazis is that these current fascists have not set up concentration camps (although they allocated $45,000,000,000 for the construction of private detention centers by some of Trump’s biggest donors, one of which Pam Bondi used to work for) and certainly not death camps! I say, give them time, and the power to do it, and everything their predecessors did will be done. It took the Nazis more than five years to really get rolling with the mass imprisonment in a network of concentration camps and then a few more years before they rolled out the first death camps. These things take time, the public will freak out if death camps are set up too soon. If you doubt their murderous motives, ask family members of some of the 500,000 or so already dead from Trump/Musk/Vought’s/Federalist Society’s unconstitutional cutting of USAID funds allocated by Congress for food and medicine to ravaged nations on other continents. Or the families of the people executed on those boats Trump’s Secretary of War blew up in international waters.
Look at the actions of each regime at this point in time and distinguish if you can between early Nazi abuses of authority and a Blackhawk helicopter delivering heavily armed masked ICE agents on to the roof of a Chicago apartment complex, goons who proceeded to break down doors and lead 300 residents out into the street in zip-ties, including naked children. Something like five people were actually arrested in the end (or maybe ICE had warrants for five when they emptied the entire building). Lights, camera, AKTION! Tear gas, pepper spray and rubber bullets to disperse small, peaceful crowds, brutalizing and body slamming older women, old men, young men, young women, traumatizing children, wearing masks and no badges, throwing nonviolent folks on the ground to be handcuff and cursed at. Nothing to see here, you fucking cucks!
Let’s look at a couple of the most prominent and influential Nazi-style influencers in Trump’s malodorous inner circle, verify their Nazi bona fides.
Take a hateful bigot like Stephen Miller, a weak and rage-filled worm elected by nobody, wielding hatred and a burning ambition to inflict pain on those he loathes. Very powerful due to his outsized ability to influence the needy Mr. Trump with strategic flattery and tactical rage, he sets cruel immigration policies not dissimilar to early Nazi policies toward minorities. He is said to be the great mind behind the brazen (in his mind audacious) war crime of killing foreign nationals on boats, on the same rationale former Philippine strongman Rodrigo Duterte is currently on trial at the International Criminal Court for using — suspected drug dealers must die, no arrest, no trial, say they’re doing it and kill them. Here’s Miller:
On Saturday afternoon, [Stephen] Miller posted: “The issue before us now is very simple and clear. There is a large and growing movement of leftwing terrorism in this country. It is well organized and funded. And it is shielded by far-left Democrat judges, prosecutors and attorneys general. The only remedy is to use legitimate state power to dismantle terrorism and terror networks.” source
We’ll leave aside the recent finding by the pre-Patel FBI that most domestic terrorism, and virtually all political violence, are from right wing extremist groups, most identifying as white Christians. That paper was removed from the internet by alert Trump lackeys, since it unfairly attacked good extremist groups loyal to the president and his “agenda”. No more right wing violence, it’s “a growing movement of leftwing terrorism”. Dr. Goebbels is smiling in hell right now at the audacity of America’s Big Lie party.
An ambitious right-wing hater like the well-paid Heritage Society “ideologue” Russell Vought, author of the chapter on presidential power in the almost universally despised Project 2025, has been angling to take the reins of the US budget for a long time. Now that he has them he is rushing to exploit the Trump shutdown to advance his extreme agenda of finally destroying the “administrative state” and replacing it with one run by a transactional, greedy, Executive, immune from criminal liability, with absolute powers. This suddenly intoxicatingly powerful asshole calls this arrangement “radical constitutionalism” for some reason.
In 2022, Vought argued that the United States is in a “post constitutional moment” that “pays only lip service to the old Constitution.” He attributes that crisis to “the Left,” which he says “quietly adopted a strategy of institutional change,” by which he appears to mean the growth of the federal government to protect the rights of all Americans. He attributes that change to the presidency of President Woodrow Wilson beginning in 1913. Vought advocates what he calls “radical constitutionalism” to destroy the power of the modern administrative state and instead elevate the president to supreme authority. source
Pamela Jo Bondi and Kashyap Pramod Patel speak aggressively, angrily and often incoherently, for themselves, their breath tainted by where their mouths have been. Trump has now hired 31 former FOX “personalities” and producers (of propaganda) — the inspirational, highly qualified Secretary of War and Makeup and the new, fond of wine, US Attorney for DC, to name but two. The list of unsubtle ass kissers is too long to make here, but Emil Bove III, Todd Blanche and the world’s most obvious “bottom”, cherub faced liar and hater, uber-Christian, adorably fey MAGA Mike Johnson, all deserve mention. Sorry Alina, Lindsay, Lindsey, et al.
[1] Aktion: A German military or police operation involving mass assembly, deportation and killing; directed by the Nazis against Jews during the Holocaust.
(source Museum of Tolerance, or as they will soon be forced to rebrand themselves, after making a handsome payment to Trump’s “library” for defaming Hitler, Museum of Woke, Cuck Losers!)
For once, AI actually had a better capsule summary:
In Nazi terminology, “Aktion” referred to a violent operation against civilians, often used as a euphemism for mass murder operations, such as those carried out during the Holocaust. It was a way to disguise the true nature of their actions from the public and the victims.
Sound familiar?
