The Trump-Hitler Hysteria: Why Demonizing Rhetoric Falls Flat with Voters


Social Media

At Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally, a single phrase summed up the exaggerated efforts of Democrats to paint him as a modern Hitler. Wrestling icon Hulk Hogan shouted, “I don’t see no stinking Nazis in here!” — words that cut through the tense atmosphere surrounding Trump’s opponents’ narrative. The rally, far from the dark comparison made by critics, was filled with diverse supporters, including Jewish attendees and pro-Israel banners, hardly the symbols of fascism.

 

Yet, Hillary Clinton went as far as claiming Trump’s rally would be a “re-enactment” of the 1939 German-American Bund rally held in the same venue.

In 1939, the German-American Bund, an organization aligned with Nazi ideals, gathered at Madison Square Garden in what was a celebration of Hitler’s Third Reich and an expression of anti-Semitism. Clinton’s decision to compare Trump’s rally to this infamous event seems less a critique than a continuation of the trend among liberals to label Trump a fascist and existential threat to democracy. Since stepping onto the 2024 Democratic ticket, Kamala Harris initially promised to bring a message of “joy,” though her campaign, now nearing Election Day, has largely pivoted to a steady stream of anti-Trump rhetoric.

The liberal media, MSNBC included, has enthusiastically joined in the “Trump is Hitler” refrain. After years of linking Trump to unfounded allegations of Russian collusion in 2016, their coverage of his recent rally continued this narrative. “That jamboree happening right now... is particularly chilling because in 1939, more than 20,000 supporters of a different fascist leader, Adolf Hitler, packed the Garden for a so-called pro-America rally,” one MSNBC anchor said, juxtaposing footage from Trump’s rally with clips from 1939. Ironically, Trump’s rally included Jerry Wartski, a Holocaust survivor, and a crowd of individuals with close ties to Judaism.

 

Trump’s family itself reflects his connections to Jewish culture, with his daughter Ivanka’s conversion to Judaism and marriage to Jared Kushner. For MSNBC to compare this crowd to Nazis is to ignore these facts altogether.

 

At the rally, Elon Musk echoed the frustration of many Trump supporters, calling MSNBC “scum of the Earth.” When questioned on the comparison between Trump’s rally and the 1939 Bund gathering, Kamala Harris did not refute it but instead accused Trump of stoking hate and division. Yet, this statement seemed ironic, as many felt that the narrative of “Trump as Hitler” was itself a divisive move that insulted those attending his events. Framing Trump supporters as Nazis is a damaging approach to take, especially when the country is already deeply polarized.

 

Reflecting on the events, one of the author’s last visits to Madison Square Garden was just after Trump’s 2016 victory. At that time, the comedian Chris Rock had offered an analogy: “If someone’s murdered eight people, don’t go around saying he’s murdered nine.” Rock didn’t mean Trump had committed actual murders, but that exaggerating Trump’s faults with far-fetched claims makes real criticism lose credibility. Yet, here we are, with the Democratic Party returning to the Hitler analogy in what appears to be a bid to scare Americans into avoiding a Trump vote.

 

Despite these efforts, polls indicate that Kamala Harris’s popularity suffers when she goes on the offensive. With inflation high and immigration issues unresolved, Americans seem to trust Trump more on these concerns. Harris, on the other hand, has struggled to provide a clear plan in interviews, giving Trump an edge on critical issues. Rather than uplifting voters with the “joy” Harris promised, the tone of her campaign has reinforced the grim reality of rising costs and economic uncertainty, which does little to inspire confidence.

 

Perhaps most telling was the turnout at the Garden. The Secret Service reportedly expected thousands of protestors against Trump, yet only 150 showed up. In 2016, large crowds of outraged liberals crowded New York streets at the very mention of Trump. But if they truly saw him as an imminent threat or a fascist leader, it’s likely they would have found the energy to make their voices heard again.

 

The smaller protest turnout and strong rally attendance seem to indicate a shift in public sentiment. The hyperbolic rhetoric of painting Trump as the next Hitler may finally be losing its potency, suggesting that the election will come down to voters’ core concerns rather than to emotional and extreme comparisons.

The guy's a PR genius.

 

Do what? Pose in a fake PR attempt to make it appear he is working at a McDonald's? What a sad attempt ...

"An Holocaust survivor, and a crowd of individuals with close ties to Judaism."

WOW, Impressive!

Define close ties to Judaism?

Muslims mainly? (Cousins by the bible).

Christians? Jesus (Joshua) was a jew.

So who was there?

Maybe Porto Ricans from the "floating island of garbage"?

This article insights look like Porto Rico in Trump's definition...

Or like a 71 old clown that could not even rip his own shirt. 

PITY.

Having nothing valid to say and avoiding discussing how current policies will simply continue, the dems have resorted to name calling.

 

With the Hitler bit failing miserably, I suspect they will start calling Trump the devil incarnate, Beelzebub, the evil one.

I think that the Dementia Joe / Comrade Kamala / Dem-Marxist Committee are hoping that if they keep saying he's Hitler, that he'll annul the Constitution, blah, blah, blah, someone will assassinate Trump between now and 5th November ... or by 20th January 2025 if he becomes President.

Maybe this will be the new strategy if he wins. "Trump is Satan on Earth!" LOL!
