Suddenly Trump Isn't Hitler and MAGA Voters Are Their Neighbors Again

Whatever you see on social media, on TV, and in cultural elite circles, at least half of Democrats and likely many more know that Trump is not Hitler and that his voters are not Nazis. 

While it is difficult to forgive their tolerance for the elites spewing this bile, I believe that a sizable number (10%? 20%?) will be hoping for reconciliation and mostly civil discussion. Many may even embrace, if not MAGA (not gonna happen), their fellow citizens again. 

Not so with the transnational elite and those who identify with them. The climate cultists (I don't mean people who are worried about climate change, but rather the fanatics), the alphabet fanatics, the left-wing media, academia, and the AWFLs will continue to hate us. 

It is striking, though, that there is a large class of politicians and commentators who have suddenly changed their tune. The campaign operatives, the Bidens and the Harrises, and the grifters who will want to lobby the new administration have suddenly embraced a peaceful and civil transfer of power to...literally Hitler. 

Trump may be Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini, but suddenly that is OK. 

Biden often told us that Trump is an existential threat to America, and countless people have told us that Trump will be a dictator and democracy will die in darkness, but Biden is smiling ear-to-ear and talking about the next election. 

To say the least, Joe Biden is not smiling ear-to-ear because he is turning the country over to a man he expects will round up his enemies with Seal Team Six and execute them. There will be no internment camps, no forced pregnancies, no Handmaid's Tale, or any other such nonsense. 

Of course, they always knew this. They engaged in one of the most despicable psychological operations in American history. They called us deplorable, garbage, Nazis, grandma killers, racists, misogynists, and ever vile name in the book. Many in academia, the public schools, and the media are still saying these things, but the people who did the most to perpetrate the hoaxes are walking back their warnings. 

They are doing this for a simple reason: their brainwashing didn't work on enough people, and they need their votes the next go-round. They are trying to build up goodwill so they can try to brainwash more people next time. 

One of our jobs is to reach out to those who are open to our message--not just because it will be good for our movement, our country, and build our coalition--but because saving souls is, as the Jews say, a "mitzvah." 

On the other hand, the very people walking back their vile slanders remain the enemy. They don't appear to be gracious because they are gracious; they are doing it strategically--for the same reason they hurled their calumnies at us. They seek power. They want to dominate us.

You don't deploy slurs like "Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini" or call people "garbage" as normal political rhetoric. You don't call concerned parents "domestic terrorists" out of good intentions. You don't prosecute your opponents out of good will. 

I am willing to embrace ordinary, decent Democrats and welcome them into the coalition. I want the cynical manipulators to burn in hell as they deserve.
