Why Trump is a Nazi

When I started this blog I was criticized by some on the left for equating Donald Trump to a Nazi. Notably, a lot of that criticism has died down over the past several months (putting children in cages tends to have that affect on people).

Here are the rough criteria of being a Nazi. Let's examine how Donny Trump checks off the boxes:

* Racism - Check!

* Dictatorial rule - Check!

* Nationalism - Check!

* Aryan supremacy - Check! Check! Check!!!

* Hatred of foreigners - Check!

* Hatred of gays/lesbians - Check!

* Hatred of non-Christians - Check!

* Militaristic - Check!

* Anti-intellectual - Check!

* Generally unintelligent - Check! Check!! Check!!!

* Against independent judiciary - Check!

* Jails political opponents - Wants to, Check!

* Against independent press - Check!

* Lies - Check! Check! Check!!!

* Creates strawmen to rail against - Check!

* Propagandist - Check!

* Blames everything on "others" - Check! Check!! Check!!!

I'm sure I'm leaving some criteria out, but those are the basic elements of being a Nazi. And duncy Donny checks the box on every single one. So, can we once and for all accept that he is a Nazi and stop equivocating about it please? The sooner we label him what he is, the sooner we can get to the more important work of stopping and destroying him and everything he represents.

Oh, and before some idiot tells me "well, he hasn't killed Jews yet" replace the word Jew with "muslim" or "latino" or "brown" and stress the term "yet." Hitler didn't start gassing Jews until the 1940s. Took him ten years in power before he got to that point. Anyone want to tell me they're positive Trump wouldn't execute Muslims or immigrants after a decade in power as a dictator? That's what I thought....
