Hitler?
Is someone cranky?
Maybe we should calm
down and take some Ativan,
or maybe even try using
some common sense. Be-
cause calling Trump “Hit-
ler” is kinda like calling me
a Liberal. It’s a lie, offen-
sive, and just plain stupid.
I guess we can all expect
insults to be hurled as the
campaign trail comes to an
end, but some things are
over the top ridiculous, and
counterproductive. Hillary
did a great job of insulting
half the population when
she called us a Basket of
Deplorables. Looks like
Kamala is trying to one-up
her. But guess what girls….
it’s not working. All it’s
done is make you look des-
perate. And calling Trump
a Fascist only draws atten-
tion to your own party….
you know….the party that
supports terrorists, claims
tolerance while demanding
everyone agrees with them,
sends billions to our ene-
mies, has their opponents
arrested, and rips babies
from the womb.
So, let’s have a little
history lesson. Hitler was
the leader of the Nazi party
who started WWII. He was
responsible for the death of
6 million Jews by herding
them into gas chambers
or having them stripped
naked and executed, then
buried in mass graves or
incinerated. He did save a
few so his minions could
do experiments on them
(trust the science). He was
also responsible for the
death of millions of other
innocent human beings.
This included women and
children (sorry to be gen-
der-insensitive). Sadly, he
ended his life before anyone
else had the pleasure.
Now let’s talk about
Trump. He was the 45th
President of our country
and has a proven record of
success. During Trump’s
term in office, the econo-
my was stable, our borders
were comparatively secure,
our military was strong,
our enemies feared us, and
our freedom was protect-
ed. There were no new
wars, and we weren’t on
the verge of WWIII. He is
a friend of Israel, our vet-
erans, laborers (including
farmers and ranchers), the
unborn, and anyone who
wants a job, fuel in their
car, groceries, safety in their
streets, and government out
of their pockets.
Donald Trump is
the Republican Presidential
candidate who was actually
ELECTED by the people’s
votes, not placed there by
the Deep State. You may
hate his hair or hate him
because it’s the cool thing to
do in the Left world….but
remember this. The one you
choose to lead your country
has the power to create the
world in which your kids
and grandkids will live.
They can create a better
future for them, where they
can experience peace, free-
dom, and decency while
having the opportunity to
succeed. Or they can cre-
ate a totalitarian govern-
ment that tells them what
they can say (hate speech),
whom they can hire (DEI),
what they can drive (EV),
and what “news” they can
hear. It should be pretty
easy to figure out where
the real “threat to Democ-
racy” is.
Be honest. Are you bet-
ter off today than you were
4 years ago?
“When the godly are
in authority, the people re-
joice. But when the wicked
are in power, they groan.”
