The outrageous hit piece on Donald Trump that Jeffery Goldberg at The Atlantic published this week, which was immediately refuted on the record by everyone who was present with him, is n’t just a shoddy smear that would have never been accepted in a newsroom 20 years ago.
It’s more than that. It’s a part of a larger psyop to support widespread post-election crime if Trump wins in November, to separate activists, to break the defense, and to stoke an insurrection out of the extreme left-wing base of the Democratic Party and unleash it on American cities.
Vice President Kamala Harris ‘ , surprising notes  , Wednesday on the actions of the Naval Observatory may be understood in this light. Harris, a former Trump aide and chief of staff John Kelly, made the controversial remarks in The Atlantic that made him directly resemble Hitler and that he would use the defense to attack his private political foes.
” He does not want a government that is dedicated to the United States Constitution, he wants a defense that is dedicated to him”, she said. ” He wants a military that is devoted to him physically. one that will follow his orders even when he instructs them to disobey the law or omit their vow to the United States Constitution.
Harris continued, calling Trump a nazi and saying that he would be a tyrant on day one, and repeating a phrase she’s been saying frequently that he would use the military to pursue British citizens, using it as “his private military to carry out his personal and political grudges.” She concluded by stating that Trump “wants unregulated power” and that he is “increasing unhinged and unstable” in the comments.
Harris’s X accounts quickly posted these claims without mentioning Kelly or the The Atlantic article, repeating the Hitler stain and all the rest as reality: Harris ‘ X accounts posted them without mentioning Kelly or the article.
This is not just the typical heated language that is delivered in the last days of a tight presidential election. This is something different. It is , at least  , a tacit telephone for violent opposition, for rebellion, and even for a second assassination attempt against Trump.
Two days before an poll that Harris appears to be losing, it’s difficult to overstate how foolish and dangerous this is. What is she supposed to say if she loses the election after staking out this persuasive floor? How is she supposed to accept? Did she say,” Sorry people, we tried difficult to keep America, but now you must all live happily under the new Hitler”?
She’s not going to suggest that. She ca n’t now. She’s going to visit for weight. ” Nationalist weight”, she may call it, but it will be coded as a telephone for city violence or worse. After all, you do n’t just accept a Hitler-like, fascist regime. You use any means at your disposal to combat it.
Many of us demanded a heating of the leftist rhetoric following the initial assassination attempt in July, as a result. Radicals and would-be killers have an opportunity to take action against Trump because of Joe Biden’s repeated assertions throughout the spring and early summer that he represented an existential threat to democracy. And then one of them really did in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Even after Trump was shot in the face, Democrats did n’t listen. Harris picked up right where Biden left off, repeating the column, over and over, that a second Trump word would be the ending of our republic, the previous vote, the rise of an authoritarian regime. What are people supposed to do if those are the margins? Voting for the best results, then? Of course no. A Trump administration, according to Harris and the Democrats, would mean the ending of our country as we know it. And so, certainly, there was a minute assassination attempt.
And as we approach Election Day, Harris ‘ strategy appears to be failing, they are now making the case that Trump is Hitler and that his resumption of power spells the end of British politics.
And Harris or her plan is not the only one who is pushing this. On Wednesday, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked whether Biden agrees that Trump is a fascist and a would-be tyrant. She said he does agree, and then , went a long rant , about how dangerous Trump is, how we ca n’t forget about Jan. 6, how we ca n’t forget that” two thousand people were told to go to the Capitol and undo a free and fair election by the former president”.
Is this foolish and harmful? Is it intended to lay the foundation for widespread repression? Is it death training? Yes, it’s all those issues. But be aware that this is not a typical social group. The previous Democrat nominee ( and current president ) has already been forced to end his reelection campaign by an institutionalized oligarchy that has already carried out a coup against him. Despite their claims that they are concerned about “preserving democracy,” they have already discarded thousands of Democrat main votes to deploy their hand-picked successor. Despite two assassination attempt against Trump, they have already refused to tone down their barbaric language.  ,
In other words, these are not people who care about democratic norms. They are concerned with strength only. And Harris is laying the groundwork for a post-election display of power that will impact the nation, wreak havoc on our places, and freeze our political career by invoking the ghost of Hitler and authoritarianism.
Even if you think it’s too far to suggest that Harris and the Democrats are blatantly calling for murder in the event of a Trump success, at the very least they are giving a sizable portion of the Democratic Party consent to accept the results of the election. And that is what we are all aware of.
