There isn't a day that goes by that I don't worry about Germany and you know who! Not Hitler stupid...the other guy. I think Voldemort secretly wants to be Chancellor of the 4th Reich.
BTW, he's grooming the Report to become the only sanctioned national newspaper. Das Spritzler Report.
Playing the Führer Card
Senate Democrats associate with a man fellow Democrats claim is like Adolf Hitler.

Is Sen. Bob Casey a closet fan of Adolf Hitler? How about Wisconsin Sen. Tammy Baldwin? We ask because both Senate Democrats are running ads as part of their re-election campaigns that associate themselves with Donald Trump. And they’re doing this even as fellow Democrats and the press corps are suggesting that Mr. Trump admires Hitler and has similar dictatorial ambitions.
No doubt both Senators despise the German mass murderer. But if Mr. Trump is so horrific, how can they have any kind of political association with him? Their ads cite issues on which they agree with Mr. Trump in an attempt to burnish their bipartisan image. But surely they don’t want to do anything to promote the election of a “semi-fascist” (President Biden’s description), or a “fascist” (Kamala Harris), or a wannabe Führer of an American Reich.
Then again, maybe Democrats don’t really believe what they’re saying about Mr. Trump. If they did, they might not have worked so hard to help him win the GOP nomination by indicting him so he could get the sympathy of partisans. “They’re not after me, they are after you,” Mr. Trump liked to say during the Republican primaries, to good political effect.
There are many reasons to worry about how Mr. Trump might wield power in a second term—not least that he wouldn’t be able to govern successfully and would thus set up the progressive left for huge gains in 2026 and 2028.
But the climb up the rhetorical dictator chain in the final stages of this election looks like a last-ditch Democratic strategy to save Ms. Harris from defeat. Her momentum in the polls has stalled as voters have seen more of her. She refuses to say what she might do differently than President Biden or to identify anything the Administration has done wrong. At Wednesday’s CNN town hall, undecided voters all but begged her to mention one thing. Her only response was her different biography.
Democrats seem to have decided that their only play left is to claim it’s springtime for Hitler. Appeal to undecided independents, or Nikki Haley Republicans, by demonizing Mr. Trump as too risky to be President again. Perhaps they think this worked in 2020, and that it will work again. But it failed in 2016, and at least then Senate Democrats weren’t claiming to be Mr. Trump’s policy allies.
