Joy Reid Compares Trump To Hitler: =?ISO-8859-1?B? VNpbWlsYXJpdGllcw==?= To What Happened In Germany and What’s_Happening_Now_Are_Undeniable’

MSNBC�s Joy Reid claimed on Monday that similarities between Adolf Hitler�s
Nazi Germany and the United States under President Donald Trump are
undeniable.

On The ReidOut, Reid likened Trump�s immigration policies and his talk about
migrants to Hitler�s extermination of Jewish people and the Holocaust.

�History may not be verbatim, but it sure does rhyme,� she said as she showed
images of World War II concentration camps.

According to Reid, Hitler was empowered by �business leaders who thought they
could control him� and �millions of ordinary Germans who just wanted to make
Germany great again.� She also compared Hitler being imprisoned for a coup
before taking power to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

Reid argued:

80 years ago today, Stalin�s Red Army walked through the gates of
Auschwitz and uncovered the true inhumanity and evil of the Nazi
regime. Millions of men, women, and children murdered, thousands
more starved, beaten, humiliated, and robbed of their dignity. The
extermination of Jewish people, Poles, Roma, Soviet prisoners of war,
gay people, and others was no secret. It happened in broad daylight.
But how did Hitler do it? Well, with the support of millions of
ordinary Germans who just wanted Germany to be great again, and
business leaders who initially thought they could control them.
Plus a cadre of devout political allies willing to do whatever he
said for the sake of power. A new piece by The Atlantic lays out
how Hitler ended a German democracy and installed a dictatorship
with blinding speed and entirely constitutional measures. In that
period, Hitler emerged emboldened after being imprisoned for staging
a coup. His rage and xenophobia gained followers after the financial
ruin of World War I and the Great Depression and helped get him
selected as chancellor. Once in power, he moved with shock and awe,
imprisoning his liberal opposition, abolishing states rights and
imposing bans on left wing newspapers. He fueled German public
outrage by blaming European Jews for Germany�s problems. Notably,
he and his minister of public enlightenment and propaganda, Joseph
Goebbels, launched a massive propaganda campaign that labeled Jews
as carriers of deadly diseases and violent terrorists, defeating
the Jews of Europe who they viewed as subhuman. It was a question
of good conquering evil, which conditioned millions of Germans to
celebrate Hitler and turn a blind eye to his brutality. If that
sounds vaguely familiar, that�s because it is. Similarities to what
happened in Germany and what�s happening now in America are just
undeniable. History may not repeat verbatim, but it sure does rhyme.
Trump and Steven Miller, his former director of speechwriting,
depict non-white immigrants as carriers of deadly diseases who are
violent terrorists. Trump was returned to the presidency after
staging a coup and has exerted control of media or social media in
order to parrot anti-immigrant vitriol and openly hateful anti
LGBTQ language, which is what messages did. And then there are the
business leaders who pay him, fund him and think they can control
him.
