Left has screeched, “Trump is Hitler!” for so long, where they go from here? Super Hitler? Über Hitler? I mean, they kind of have run out of “headspace” here.
And of course the problem is that no one even pays attention to such weirdness anymore. It’s just like the term “racist.” No one freakin’ cares anymore. The word has totally lost any impact it may have once had.
That it is all so embarrassingly stupid may actually be the point of the exercise. Remember that the leftists have this thing demonstrating their fealty to the movement by loudly and publicly proclaiming that which is obviously, utterly untrue. By abdicating any shred of dignity in this way, they sacrifice their own integrity on the altar of Marxist nonsense. “Look at me! Look what I’m willing to do for the cause! Trump is Hitler! Men can have vaginas! Joe Biden is honest and not at all demented! I will say what must be said to prevail! This is the depth of my commitment!”
And I think that is entirely correct. It is not about logic or persuasion, it is only about virtue-signaling. And it is a way to say that you are a strong member of the Lefty “tribe.” It’s all about showing your Lefty bona fides.
OK, so where does the Left go now? Well, their options are really quite limited. Without recognizing “rock bottom” and actually changing, they really have no choice but to double- and triple-down. Hence, Über-Hitler. But then again, what other choice do they have without legitimate fundamental change?
Now, they could go in the other direction. They could attack Trump and his policies substantively. But this has several problems… One is that they don’t know how to do this. Leftists haven’t had to argue for decades…The bad people are unworthy of having their ideas refuted. They should simply accept that they suck and submit.
See, for a Leftist, arguing a point is leaving their “circle of safety.” So they typically refuse to do it at all. As I have said, persuasion is the Democrat “vestigial tail.” It’s ONLY for decoration, not for use. It is the shiny laminated pig-iron Samurai sword and throwing stars on the wall.
Yup! All hat and no cattle!
