Calling out the grotesqueness of Hitler’s rhetoric

Chrump is doing the only thing he knows how to do, doubling down, this time with the violent-sounding fascist talk, channeling everyone’s favorite führer.  He’s apparently at it again with the inflammatory Hitler quotes, immigrants poisoning of the blood and soil of the Fatherland, the lügenpresse (fake news,) enemy of the people, and his usual fawning tributes to Putin, Kim, Xi and Orbán. ,

Non-Nazi readers of history tend to get alarmed By Hitlerian rhetoric, which is used, with trolling delight, to divide a democratic nation into Us and Them and create a villain class of Other that can be assailed with violent hatred, with the government’s blessing. The meat and potatoes of any good fascist movement, the appeal to gang violence and hatred of homosexuals, strong-minded women, immigrants, moderates, the opposition, intellectuals, minority religions and ethnic groups, principled members of the clergy, the media etc. The White House put out a good statement in reply to this naked Hitler talk. It has to be reiterated every time this sick fuck sings Hitler to his cheering fans.

The White House today responded to Trump’s speech. White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates said: “Echoing the grotesque rhetoric of fascists and violent white supremacists and threatening to oppress those who disagree with the government are dangerous attacks on the dignity and rights of all Americans, on our democracy, and on public safety…. It’s the opposite of everything we stand for as Americans.”

What would the führer do? (Part 3)

A party wholly in service to the damaged ego of one man does shit like this (described with uncharacteristic lack of squeamish ambiguity by the Grey Lady):

Neguse: What is the specific constitutional crime that you’re investigating?

Reschenthaler: Well, we’re having an inquiry so we can do an investigation and compel the production of witnesses and documents. 

Neguse: And what is the crime you’re investigating?

Reschenthaler: High crimes, misdemeanors and bribery.

Neguse: What high crimes and misdemeanors are you investigating? 

Reschenthaler: Once I get time, I will explain what we’re looking at and I will make the equivalency of the last impeachment. 

Transcript from House Rules Committee “debate” from MediasTouch

Just ask yourself, would the führer, before he had the legal power to kill anyone he hated, have had his myrmidons do anything differently?

Semi-comical

But also serious as yer proverbial heart attack

DOJ has defendant Trump’s personal phone from January 6, 2021, after its disappearance and years of concealment (can you say obstruction, boys and girls?) along with all relevant Secret Service and White House, Homeland Security and Department of Defense phone calls and text messages from before, during and after the permitless parade to, and deadly riot at, the Capitol.

And here’s the big guy himself, calm and credible as can be, in his most reasonable and persuasive tones, from a month ago. He was asked about the propriety of weaponizing the government against his enemies.

They’ve taken a President who’s very popular, I got 75 million votes, much more than that I believe.  No president’s ever got that many votes, and they’ve taken that number of people, and I think you can double it or almost you can triple it in terms of the real, the feeling.

“But we’ve watched it for a long time and it’s not unique, but it’s unique for the United States.  Yeah  If they do this, they’ve already done it, but if they want to follow through on this, yeah, it could certainly happen in reverse. It could certainly happen in reverse.

What they’ve done is they’ve released the genie out of the box, you understand that. They’ve done something that nobody thought would happen. They’ve taken a President who’s very popular, I got 75 million votes, much more than that I believe.  No president’s ever got that many votes, and they’ve taken that number of people, and I think you can double it or almost you can triple it in terms of the real, the feeling. You can’t do that, you can’t go after people.

You know when you’re President, and you’ve done a good job and you’re popular, you don’t go after them, so you can win an election. They’ve done indictments in order to win an election. They call it weaponization and the people aren’t going to stand for it. But yeah, they have done something that allows the next party, I mean if somebody, if I happen to be President and I see somebody who’s doing well and beating me very badly I say “go down and indite them”. 

What would the führer do? (Part 2)

It’s not hard to imagine what a an autocrat would do in any given situation, just ask yourself “what would the führer do?”

Picture meeting the führer, someone given to extreme temper tantrums when opposed, prepared to throw himself on the floor, shriek, kick his feet, bite the legs of the chairs, the carpet, sob, threaten, perform a terrifying, disorienting display of insane need for total dominance. Not to mention a violent vindictive streak and deep personal pleasure taken in the fatal suffering of his enemies.  

Then picture ever disagreeing with or contradicting that titan of will. Imagine that kind of shameless, insane, vengeful, murderous asshole, that personality, in charge of an entire nation.  It’s very easy to imagine what the führer would do in any given situation just as it’s easy to imagine what Jesus would do, or Buddha, or any prophet or person of righteousness you’d like.

Fascism is the dream state of the powerful narcissist, because under fascism, the will of the leader, and those who benefit from the leader’s will, is the only law of society and society’s only value. Charles Koch’s dream world, the dream of his loveless father fucking Fred Koch, who, as he created his psychopath sons, built the oil refineries for Hitler’s Luftwaffe, and Frederick Christ Trump, the highly successful psychopath who exploited government incentives after World War II to build middle-class housing, and then along with his filthy ilk, forced the creation of the Fair Housing Rights Act in 1965, which he fought with all his might using the Devil’s own Roy Kohn, alternately humiliating and supporting his own second choice idiot son Donald, all the while. 

Fascism is the dream state of any psychopath who dreams, joylessly, of bending the world to his insane will.
