So Kamala Harris’s last, desperate ploy is to go full Hitler. There is nothing surprising about this; as we and many others have said, repeatedly, the Democrats have called every prominent Republican since Thomas Dewey another Hitler. Abraham Lincoln obviously predated Adolf, but the Democrats’ attacks on him as a would-be dictator, a threat to the fundamental human right to own slaves, was a precursor.

Comparing any American political faction to the Nazis is ridiculous on its face. Where are the invasions of neighboring countries, where are the mass murder camps? But if any American party tends toward authoritarianism, it is the anti-free speech, tax them till they drop, regulate everything under the Sun, lock up our political opponents Democrats.

In addition to Trump and the Republicans, there is one other political entity that routinely is alleged to be just like Hitler: Israel. “Zionism = Nazism” is a treasured trope on the Left. Benjamin Netanyahu is routinely caricatured as a second Adolf. And the absurd claim that Israel is engaged in genocide against the Arabs, now conventional wisdom on American college campuses, is a deliberate evocation of the Third Reich.

The equation of Israel with the Nazis, like the alleged equivalence of Donald Trump with Hitler, is entirely mainstream. Thus, to take one of countless examples, this year’s Commencement speaker at Harvard, Maria Ressa, has explicitly drawn a parallel between Israel’s self-defense in the war commenced by Gaza and Hitler’s program of extermination.

All of that is completely insane, but nothing surprises me anymore. I suppose there is a certain irony in the fact that it is the very people who are fighting for freedom and for survival against heavy odds who are tarred with the Hitler brush. Somewhere, Joseph Goebbels must be smiling.
