During the 2024 campaign, the political atmosphere resembled a brawl in a kindergarten playground, with both sides launching wild accusations at one another while failing to engage on any meaningful level. Traditional confrontations took a backseat to mutual bafflement over one central issue: the Democrats’ relentless and absurd comparisons of Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler.
For Republicans, the Democrat strategy was the equivalent of showing up to a knife fight with nothing but a spoon. First, comparing Trump—a fast-food flipping, garbage truck-driving patriot—to a genocidal dictator is not just intellectually dishonest; it’s an exercise in futility. The Democrats have thrown around their Hitler analogy so many times that it’s become the political equivalent of bringing a rubber chicken to a serious debate. Despite throwing billions on such a dismal PR tactic, they somehow believe the magic number is “zillion and one”—as if naming Trump a Nazi is going to convince anyone with a half-functioning brain.

On the flip side, Democrats found themselves muddled in confusion, wondering why Republicans still rallied behind Trump. From the liberal perspective, they couldn’t fathom the party’s allegiance to a man they saw as a threat to democracy itself. Their minds raced with disbelief, leading them to conclude that Trump’s grip on the GOP was the result of some form of mass brainwashing akin to cult behavior—because surely, no sane person would support someone who could possibly resemble “you-know-who!”
The irony is striking: while the Far Left chastised Republicans for chasing conspiracy theories, they fell headfirst into their own pit of absurdity, concocting tales of Trump being the reincarnation of Hitler. At least theories about secret government cabals are less steeped in historical data than their own crackpot ideas about political fascism. Meanwhile, the GOP refrained from running their campaign through a Qanon lens. At the same time, Democrats centered their strategies on painting Trump as Hitler and drowning voters in their platitude about democracy hanging in the balance.
What fuels this steadfast belief among Democrats that Trump will use government as a weapon against them? The answer lies within their own psychological failings—a little something called “projection.” The Far Left’s paranoia about Trump’s alleged autocratic tendencies arises from their own historical behavior. Under Obama, the IRS was unabashedly wielded as a tool against conservative voices. Fast forward to Biden, and one witnesses the judiciary being repurposed to kneecap opposition. Just recently, a FEMA supervisor was caught denying aid to anti-Trump Americans, revealing a pattern of using governmental resources to target political adversaries.
In short, the Democrats are convinced that Trump will govern through the same duplicity they do, projecting their own tendencies onto the man they love to vilify. This tendency is not just a quirk; it’s a psychic defense mechanism that showcases their inability to comprehend real, principled governance. Ultimately, when the left yells about retribution, they aren’t just rattling their sabers in a political fit; they’re nervously revealing their own playbook.
