This is just one of many, many examples of how shrill, hysterical, and desperate the left has become, especially the academic left. The idea that the US is reenacting the Holocaust is absurd on its face, and manifests an ignorance of the Holocaust and of the entire phenomenon of Nazi Germany. But for leftists such as Waitman Wade Beorn, there is no comparison too absurd if it serves to blacken the reputation of President Trump. Here is a successful and popular conservative President, working hard to make America great again, and the left is mad with rage and hatred. It’s revealing.
“Washington Post Column Says USA Is Reenacting The Holocaust — Minus The Genocide,” by Joe Simonson, Daily Caller News Foundation, July 16, 2018:
A column in Monday’s Washington Post defended the left’s comparison of the Trump administration’s policies to the Holocaust, yet also conceded the lack of systematic genocide by the U.S. government.
Story continues below advertisementWaitman Wade Beorn, a lecturer at the University of Virginia and so-called “Holocaust and genocide studies historian,” argues in his opinion piece “It’s not wrong to compare Trump’s America to the Holocaust. Here’s why.” that “parallels lie in authoritarianism, racism, ethnic myths and dehumanizing language,” but “not the Final Solution.”
Ironically, Beorn admits that “both ends of the spectrum too often seek to draw on [the Holocaust’s] emotional and historical power to advance their completely unrelated agendas,” but still asserts that “parallels” exist between President Donald Trump’s America and Nazi Germany.
“Trump’s well-documented use of dehumanizing language is another clear similarity to the early stages of Nazi rule. He caters to a particular demographic of unhappy voters, as did the Nazis,” he wrote.
Over and over again, Beorn hedges his argument by admitting “we are not dealing with a genocidal regime in the United States.” Given that genocide was the chief legacy of Nazi Germany, it is unclear where any parallels are obvious to the Trump administration’s immigration policy….
Don’t worry, however, Beorn thinks he’s being reasonable. After all, according to him, “Trump is not hitler [sic]” because “Hitler was arguably a far more astute politician.”

You’re the best! I love your comics!
I see that all the time, it’s like “uh, you’re the white person, so therefore YOU must be the racist…” mentality, which proves THEM to be the racists!
(Fun Fact: Judging a person by their skin color is the definition of racism. It’s not ‘being white’ that is racism.)

christian holocaust under Obama that corrupt media would not talk about.
The first Muslim democrat president imported 200,000 yearly legal and illegal muslims and deported christians back to ISIS to be slaughtered after they tried to make it to America http://tinyurl.com/mtc3xch
And those who dared to help were threatened to shut up and MSM would not cover it !

The left only dishonors and besmirches the memory of all the Holocaust’s real victims when they casually compare it to today. How deeply offensive and shameful indeed.

The Left are Holocaust Users. They’ll call anyone who disagrees with them Hitler, but at any Pro-Palestinian rally, they do not hesitate to say “Hitler didn’t finish the job.”

Comparing in any SHAPE OR FORM Trump’s presidency to the Holocaust, is text book Holocaust denial!
Holocaust deniers / minimizers are Antisemites!!
“Progressives” / Democrats are Antisemitic because they:
a) Support the proto Nazi / Antisemitic, fraudulent narrative of the “Palestinians” and are extremely hostile to Zionism (The right of Jews to a recognized homeland)
b) They are Holocaust deniers / minimizers
Anything bad that happens to progressives / Democrats is a blessing to the rest of Humanity!! We can only hope that misery, agony, suffering and destruction will plague “progressives” and Democrats, till the end of time!

It’s evident that Liberalism like Islam, causes a form of mental illness that is manifested in impracticality, stupidity, total lack of common sense, childishness, irrationality, perversity and infantile hatred. No wild and contrived accusation is too mentally deranged for this lot.
If anyone is interested in watching some liberal insanity that displays hatred and gross stupidity, then just watch an hour of CNN, preferably when one of their incessant panels is assembled to spew hatred, dream up new accusations against Trump and features the now mentally deteriorating Gloria Borger, Jeffrey Toobin, and other human dregs they drag in for the occasion – like that weak-mouthed and shallow Rebecca Berg who never has anything of substance or originality to offer. Living with hatred and bitterness deteriorates the mind and body, and there you can see it first hand. This mob would be a laugh a minute if they were just acting. Chris Cuomo is a barefaced liar and Trump hater, but the most stupid by far is black racist, Don Lemon, who for sheer absurdity has no equal. Only on CNN could such a fool survive.

Amazing this Propagandist has a job – even as a lecturer – in the land of the free, and the home of the brave.
It illustrates how thoroughly the Left-nasties have infiltrated all of our institutions.
A better analogy than Nastie Germany is Occupied and Vichy France. We are being overrun by the Enemy’s ground troops, and most of us are either trying to collaborate or are celebrating with violence, crime, hate, anger, and bigotry. Only a tiny portion even attempt to resist lest they too are destroyed.
As for genocide – yes, we are. Aside from abortion, the Left-nasties are doing everything in our power to replace us.

This garbage is what our schools have been teaching kids for years…It makes me furious when I get my property tax statements for schools and I realize that I am being billed for the crappy education the kids are getting. Do they know anything beyond their electronics, social media and how to get all the free stuff they can get from taxpayers and generous government organizations?
