Wrong about EVERYTHING


Little anecdotal history here. 

Prior to Hitler ascending to the throne, Jews were fairly assimilated into German culture. Their contributions and achievements in art, science, music and literature, were accepted and appreciated. Many even fought for Germany in WW1. Yes, there was a virulent strain of anti-semitism, but there always had been and will be. It was fairly common throughout Europe. But it was a minority opinion.

All that changed when Adolf teamed up with Joseph Goebbels and went about the task of scapegoating Jews for a poor post war economy, cultural rifts and the disastrous Versailles treaty. Together they used the tools of mass media and the bully pulpit to vilify Jews. It was heavy handed. It was omnipresent. And it was effective. So effective that Germans looked the other way when their neighbors started disappearing. And German humor, which was already notoriously a low level, became non-existent.

I catch a lot of flack for comparing our current fascist regime to the one that preceded it in the 20th century. And while Trump doesn't have his crosshairs on Jews (yet), only a fool could argue his methodologies are not the same. Indeed, more effective, amplified exponentially by social media to an audience that is a gazillion times dumber and more spiteful.

His focus, in direct contrast to anything he says on policy, is to erase history and sway a large swath of uninformed voters that -- and this is hilarious, but not in a funny way -- that "TRUMP WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING!

Let's ignore the fact that he had this printed on hats. Or that he wears these stupid hats while sitting behind the Resolute Desk. Paging "Dignity, is there a Dignity in the house?" 

Or the incomprehensibility of him referring to himself in the 3rd Person. Who does that?

But let's NOT ignore these facts:

* Trump was wrong about the Central Park Five (DNA proved it)

* Trump was wrong about Obama being born in Kenya (Birth certificate verified)

* Trump was wrong about the election being rigged in 2016 (he won)

* Trump was wrong about winning the 2020 election (Bill Barr disproved it)

* Trump was wrong that Covid was Democratic hoax (A million plus corpses proved it wasn't)

* He was also wrong that is would disappear in two weeks (we have new strains rising today)

* He was wrong about the Mueller Report (there was plenty to convict him on Obstruction)

* Trump was wrong about producing the greatest economy (statistics prove that was a lie)

* Trump was wrong about Mexico paying for the big, beautiful Wall (they didn't) (nor did it get built)

Trump was wrong about solving the Ukraine crisis in a day, negotiating peace in the Middle East, about lowering the price of eggs, not cutting Medicaid for seniors, and tarriffs and so much more. He was even wrong on the handling of the Epstein Files.

I know Red Hats will contend these facts are not facts. But here's something they can't argue with. Upwards of 20+ women have filed affidavits about being sexually assaulted by Trump and/or Epstein. 

If these multiple corroborated accusations were false and had the effect of defaming Donald J. Trump, wouldn't he, the most litigious "man" on Earth, who has the levers of power in his tiny hands and a voracious team of sycophantic lawyers at his disposal, haul these women into court? 

I rest my case.
