Harris Uses 'Atlantic' Hit Piece to Smear Trump as Fascist Hitler

The story, written by Trump-hating fabulist Jeffrey Goldberg for The Atlantic (owned by Laurene Powell Jobs), based its claims on two anonymous sources — who appear to be rehashing a claim from a 2022 book by the New Yorker‘s Susan B. Glasser and the New York Times‘ Peter Baker.

The Trump campaign immediately denied Goldberg’s claim that the former president ever praised Hitler.

Critics argue it was written to change the media cycle in favor of Harris, who suffered negative headlines after Trump’s successful weekend of campaigning.

Despite the dubious nature of the story, Harris tried to harness the baseless attack to drive her campaign’s closing message, namely that Trump is “unhinged,” “unstable,” and therefore unfit to be president...

The Atlantic story has also been condemned for printing falsehoods about Mayra Guillen, the sister of deceased U.S. Army soldier Vanessa Guillen, who said the hit piece falsely claimed that Trump offered to help pay for Guillen’s funeral but allegedly “became angry” over the cost and blurted out an expletive...

President Harris claimed Trump would use the military against Americans, but two weeks ago, the Biden-Harris administration issued a directive allowing the U.S. military to use legal force against citizens on American soil, potentially authorizing lethal force against political protesters who oppose White House policies:

Not making news.

Literally Hitler? A Historian Examines Democrat Accusations Against Trump and the GOP, by James S. Corum, American Thinker, 24 October 2024:

As an observant reader will note, from censorship to lawfare it’s the Democrat Party today -- not Republicans -- that has embraced the exact same methods as the Nazis to seize power. But there is so much more. The Democrat use of DEI as a mandatory race ideology is similar to Nazi racial ideology -- just change whites for Jews in DEI training and you get a good idea of what Nazi racial ideology was like. The current attacks on academic freedom in universities in America also give you a good idea of Nazi methods of 1933.

Fascism - a phenomenon of the left

'Fascist' Smear Reveals Harris' Lack of Historical Knowledge, by George J. Marlin, Newsmax, 29 October 2024:

Last week, CNN talk-show host Anderson Cooper asked Vice President Kamala Harris, "Do you think Trump is a Fascist?" Her reply: "Yes I do."

Of course, Cooper failed - by design, no doubt - to ask the logical follow-up question to the vice president: "Please define fascism."

Can you imagine the answer if he did?

Her response would have been an award-winning word salad. Harris can’t explain the ideology of the Democrats, let alone elucidate the tenets of fascism...

The architects of Fascist ideology borrowed from Friedrich Hegel (1770-1831), the concept that the state was the supreme manifestation of God on earth.

They preached that every citizen must surrender their individualism in favor of the collective. Their slogan was "nothing for the individual, all for the state."...

Fascism’s most prominent thinkers, Giovani Gentile (1875-1944) and Giuseppe Prezzolini (1882-1982), argued that there should be no conflict between man and the state because "the maximum of liberty coincides with the maximum force of the state."...

The word "Fascist" stemmed from "fascio" or "club," which Mussolini founded for supporters of his brand of anti-Communist national socialism...

"Fascism," Mussolini declared, "conceives of the state as an absolute, in comparison with which all individuals or groups are relative only to be conceived in their relation to the state."

Fascists called for a "corporate state" whereby the government and corporate giants partnered to control the lives of middle-class and working-class folks.

They opposed laissez-faire capitalism and called for a planned economy.

They trampled individual rights in favor of the collective.

They supported empire building. And they hated religious institutions — particularly the Catholic Church — which opposed their ideology.

Do the tenets of fascism resemble Trump’s "Make America Great Again" agenda?

I think not.

Trump is the champion of the middle class...
