Back during the first Trump administration, I thought he was going to try pull the classic Hitler Reichstag fire tactic to clamp down on American freedom.
And thanks to idiots and racists putting the rapist felon psychopath back in office, he finally has a chance to do it.
I suspected that the murder of Charlie Kirk would be Trump's Reichstag fire, and even feckless cynical careerist fool Ezra Klein mentioned the possibility, writing that the right could "turn Kirk's murder into a justification for an all-out war, a Reichstag fire for our time."
Right-wingers are not even ashamed about the fact that they are using Hitler's strategy. Per the New York Times:
Matt Forney, a right-wing journalist known for racist and misogynistic content, called Mr. Kirk’s assassination “the American Reichstag fire,” alluding to the 1933 fire at the German Parliament building that was used by the Nazi party as a pretext to suspend constitutional protections and arrest political opponents.
“It is time for a complete crackdown on the left. Every Democratic politician must be arrested and the party banned,” Mr. Forney wrote on X.
Antisemitism flares and ‘Reichstag’ mentions soar online in wake of Charlie Kirk assassination
“Charlie Kirk was assassinated by jews,” tweeted an account called Greatest Noticer, whose username is an apparent allusion to a neo-Nazi watchword.“Charlie Kirk was assassinated by jews,” tweeted an account called Greatest Noticer, whose username is an apparent allusion to a neo-Nazi watchword.Antisemitism is at a record high. We're keeping our eyes on it >>“At this point does anyone not thi[nk] Charlie Kirk was assassinated by Mossad?” tweeted Ryan Matta, a podcast host with more than 200,000 followers, referring to the Israeli spy agency.
Trump administration joins Republicans' campaign to police speech in reaction to Kirk's murder
Vice President JD Vance on Monday jumped onto the conservative movement demanding consequences for those who have cheered Charlie Kirk's killing, calling on the public to turn in anyone who says distasteful things about the assassination of his friend and political ally.
“When you see someone celebrating Charlie’s murder, call them out,” Vance urged listeners on the slain activist’s podcast Monday. “And hell, call their employer.”
Vance's call also included a vow to target some of the biggest funders of liberal causes as conservatives stepped up their targeting of private individuals for their comments about the killing. It marked an escalation in a campaign that some warned invoked some of the darkest chapters of American history.
The Republican Party is a force for pure evil now and must be forced to disband once Trump and his Nazis are defeated.
And now the Republican Party has shut down Jimmy Kimmel - another Nazi move.
