There are days left and there is only one argument Kamala Harris (and her media minions) can make: Trump is Hitler.
Or Mussolini, Stalin or Pol Pot: take your pick. If Trump is elected, he will build concentration camps, trash the Constitution, send the military to arrest his political enemies (heck, anyone who didn’t vote for him), host Putin and Xi in Lincoln’s bedroom, burn the country, and dump Rachel Maddow in jail.
Well, most of us could get behind that last one.
Here’s what Maddow said about Trump voters at a Brooklyn forum in September: “I believe that humans can change and that redemption is possible… I’m always hopeful.”
And the left wonders why so many people consider them arrogant and condescending. If Kamala was smart, she would do what Obama did and reach out to those who disagree, instead of demonizing them.
But she’s not smart. We know this.

During his disastrous CNN town hall Wednesday night, he only gave one clear and concise answer.
“Do you think,” host Anderson Cooper asked, “Donald Trump is a fascist?”
“Yes, I do,” Kamala said. ‘Yeah.’
You could see it in his eyes: he thought this was the time to put down the microphone. But no one in the audience (largely made up of voters, Cooper said, inclined to vote for her anyway) applauded or responded in kind.
The “joy” and “vibes” campaign has become quite dark. Trump-as-Hitler is the new talking point of the left, delivered with great seriousness to voters still too stupid, ignorant, racist or xenophobic to understand it, apparently.
Despite having a Jewish daughter and Jewish grandchildren, Trump is a Nazi. His next rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday? Nazi demonstration.
His staunch and forceful defense of Israel? It’s better not to discuss it.
Trump’s former chief of staff John Kelly’s four-year-old claim that the former president admired Hitler (unearthed by The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg and denied by a Trump spokesman) is also making the rounds, though it raises the question: Whether Kelly I believed Trump was an acolyte of Hitler, why didn’t he resign then?
Why not sound the alarm when it really mattered? Could Kelly, who was fired by Trump, be seeking revenge? Nick Ayers, former chief of staff to Trump’s former vice president Mike Pence, wrote on X that Kelly’s claims are “patently false.”
The media ignores it. Apparently the Nazi drumbeat will last until election day and, if he wins, well beyond.
Sometimes, however, the mask falls off. Take this exchange between MSNBC’s Jen Psaki getting hysterical (in both senses of the word) with top Democratic strategist James Carville last week.
Psaki: ‘It sounds like you’re saying we should scare people again, because that’s what they need to hear?’
Carville: “Yes.”
There it is: The quiet part said out loud.
No serious person really believes that Trump is a threat to democracy, especially when you hear it from a party that staged an internal palace coup and fielded a candidate who hadn’t gotten a single vote.
New York Times columnist Bret Stephens wrote two days ago about Trump’s misguided fascist ploy from the left: “Aside from being gratuitous and counterproductive, what kind of voter is a nickname going to win over? — is also mostly wrong.’
Stephens is one of the Times’ token conservatives, but somehow he got this past the most woke newsroom in America.
Even Democratic senators seeking re-election in the swing states of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Wisconsin are running ads touting their ability to work with Donald Trump. Here’s the thing: people can’t be just a little bit fascist or a little bit racist.
So make no mistake: the leftist elites are laughing at the poor fools who believe in these things.

It’s really sad that a major party candidate is so empty, so devoid of any real opinions, policies or personality, that she can only run in opposition. Harris has been campaigning since July and has yet to define herself.
What is she for? Not just what she believes, but what is Kamala Harris’ goal?
Aside from pure, ambitious ambition, the answer appears to be nothing. Seeking power for power’s sake seems a much bigger threat than anything he can throw at Trump.
Here was Harris, in that CNN town hall, responding to a serious young ‘Habitat for Humanity’ volunteer who asked her what she would do ‘to make sure another innocent Palestinian is not killed by bombs funded by American taxpayers.’
Ooooh boy. Kamala was not prepared for that. His eyes slowly closed. He put his fingers to the bridge of his nose, as if he were fighting a migraine. A pause, a little word salad, and finally, “a two-state solution” (that’s very easy) and a friendly reminder that Trump is a fascist.
Who would you prefer to take care of the Middle East?
Not even Obama’s best doctors can cure this patient. Apparently, there is no treatment plan that can endow Harris with authenticity, wit, or intelligence. He can’t stray from his oldest trope, one that could be used as auditory torture against prisoners of war: “We are a people who have ambition.” We have aspirations. We have dreams.’
Among those dreams is never to hear this empty nonsense again.
After weeks of preparation, studying, reading, and mock interviews (at least one would hope), this is the best he could do on why the Biden-Harris administration ignored the border crisis for years:
‘Well, a lot of things were done, but there is more to do, Anderson. And… I’m pointing out things that need to be done, that haven’t been done, but need to be done.’
Aren’t we supposed to be relieved of what has been done?
Anyway: imagine his handlers backstage, watching and listening to this. It is not surprising that there are leaks from his side about internal panic. Even David Axelrod, the guy who got Obama elected twice, couldn’t defend this abject failure during CNN’s autopsy.
“Word salad city,” he said.
To a question posed by a political science professor named Carol, who asked Harris what policy she most wanted to see Congress pass.
Simple, yes? A problem, a solution, even in a dream scenario.
Get ready for this one.
‘Well,’ said Harris, ‘there’s not just one. I have to be honest with you, Carol. Um, there’s a lot of work to do, but I think maybe part of this, the point that I, how I think about it, is that we have to move past this era. Here are Kamala’s eyes. he closed, as if praying for a convincing answer: “that politics and partisan politics will slow down what we need to do in terms of progress in our country.”
Carol didn’t seem impressed.
And what about David Emhoff? Any decent journalist would have used this town hall to ask about Kamala’s husband, accused by an ex-girlfriend of violently slapping her (in public, outside a top-notch gala, so hard that she turned around), or about her babysitter, who he allegedly got pregnant during his first marriage and paid $80,000 to leave.
And what about Doug Emhoff? Any decent journalist would have used this town hall to ask about Kamala’s husband, accused by an ex-girlfriend of having violently slapped her.
Unfortunately, we had Anderson Cooper, who also refused to tell us whether CNN had looked into these voter questions. Cooper embarrassed himself and his failed network here, the same way Maria Shriver, the only other top Democratic woman who knows what it’s like for your husband to knock up the babysitter, told attendees at another Kamala town hall on Monday that they couldn’t ask the babysitter. candidate any questions.
“Hopefully,” Shriver told the crowd, “I’ll be able to ask some of the questions you may have on your mind.”
How’s that for an open and free debate? The objective of a town hall is for citizens to ask the candidates questions that concern them. Instead, they got Maria Shriver to shut them down.
And while he was doing it he called himself a journalist!
No wonder Anderson Cooper seemed to think, on the contrary, that he was doing a decent job, even when Kamala walked all over him.
“One of the things I specialized in as a prosecutor,” Harris said, “was crimes against women and children.”
There’s the opening: AND DOUG? What about women who say he treated them terribly? Does Kamala, as the left so stridently tells us, believe in all women? Or just women Doug hasn’t dated?
When will someone in the national media get the courage and ask this dumb candidate and report on her husband’s accusers?
It won’t be anyone on CNN, that’s for sure. Last week, Scott Jennings, former special assistant to President George W. Bush, dared to raise “some of the questions swirling around Harris’ own husband” before the network panel quickly shut him down and silenced him. .
That is vigilance of thought. That is intellectual fascism.
If there’s one thing we can be sure Kamala Harris believes, it’s what she accuses Trump of doing and being: silencing perceived enemies, refusing to be honest with the American people, and letting the media cover for her. and her husband. .
So much for the politics of joy.
