Dem candidate 'struck by the parallels' between Trump's rise and Hitler's

[FakeNews]

The Democrat challenging Rep. Lee Zeldin (R) for his New York House seat said he was motivated to run for office because of "parallels" he saw between President Trump 's political rise and Adolf Hitler's ascent to power in Germany before World War II.

The comments, made in February at a Democratic primary forum in East Marion, N.Y., were captured in a video sent to The Hill from a Republican operative and also posted online on the Facebook page of Southold Town Democratic Committee, a group committed to electing "leaders with Democratic values" in Southold, N.Y.

In the video, Perry Gershon, who previously worked as a lender in commercial real estate, recalls paying a visit to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington during the 2016 presidential race.

"I was struck by the parallels between the rise of Donald Trump today and the rise of Hitler back then," Gershon says. "And I just said to myself that we have to stand up and make sure this doesn't happen in America."

"The Ominous Parallels: The End of Freedom in America is a 1982 book by philosopher Leonard Peikoff, in which the author compares the culture of the United States with the culture of Germany leading up to the Nazis."


Read this and learn why Trump is more of a Jacksonian tangent than parallel.

There are some disturbing parallels.
Both said the press is the enemy of the people.
Both blamed the country's problems on "them".
Both incited his followers to violence.
Both wanted to monitor those who caused problems (Hitler successfully with Jews, but Muslims were protected from Trump by the constitution).
Hitler seized guns without due process, Trump suggested doing the same.

One big difference is Hitler actually honorably served in the military before going off his rocker.
Oh, and Hitler never said it was Germany's fault they were under attack by hostile countries.

OMG!


Ask for proof and they will provide it! Is this a Costner script?

Perry Gershon didn't see anything that parallels the rise of Hitler with the rise of Trump at the Holocaust Museum, nothing whatsoever. He'd imagine the same thing if he were touring the Campbell's Soup Plant because he's suffering from a terminal case of Trump Derangement Syndrome like the rest of the Democrat Party.
