What a time to be alive. For all of my adult life, Democrats have been telling me that Republicans are Nazis, and each Republican is worse than the last one.
By their reckoning, we're on something like the Fifth or Sixth Reich. And — I'm calling it now — they will say the exact same thing about the next Republican nominee, whoever he or she may be. They already planted those seeds during the 2024 campaign, when it looked like Ron DeSantis might be the nominee, former Republican congressman David Jolly said DeSantis was "far more dangerous" than Donald Trump.
Really? More dangerous than Trump, who was literally Hitler? Weird.
But when you realize, as I have, that Democrats have one goal in mind — total, uniparty control of the nation — stuff like that starts making more sense. Democrats will say and do whatever it takes to further their agenda.
That's why they spent the last 20 years calling Republicans Nazis, only to turn around and endorse Graham Platner. They never took those accusations seriously; they hurl them as pejoratives towards Republicans in order to give their foot soldiers a permission structure under which they can engage in violent acts towards conservatives.
Remember the whole "punch a Nazi" craze from a few years ago? Yeah, that.
And here's more proof the Democrats were never really serious or concerned about Republicans being Nazis. Their former Vice Presidential nominee, Tim Walz, once wrote a paper minimizing the Holocaust as just another case of "human rights abuses."
🚨 Tim Walz is flying across the country to campaign with this Nazi slob today.

Most are unaware that Tim Walz wrote his master’s thesis on why the Holocaust isn’t really a unique event.
It was just an average case of “human rights abuses.”

Through it all, Walz modeled and argued for careful instruction that treated the Holocaust as one of multiple genocides worth understanding.
“Schools are teaching about the Jewish Holocaust, but the way it is traditionally being taught is not leading to increased knowledge of the causes of genocide in all parts of the world,” Walz wrote in his thesis, submitted in 2001.
The thesis was the culmination of Walz’s master’s degree focused on Holocaust and genocide education at Minnesota State University, Mankato, which he earned while teaching at Mankato West. His 27-page thesis, which JTA obtained, is titled “Improving Human Rights and Genocide Studies in the American High School Classroom.”
In it, Walz argues that the lessons of the “Jewish Holocaust” should be taught “in the greater context of human rights abuses,” rather than as a unique historical anomaly or as part of a larger unit on World War II. “To exclude other acts of genocide severely limited students’ ability to synthesize the lessons of the Holocaust and the ability to apply them elsewhere,” he wrote.
It's incredible. Walz is the guy who has called ICE the Gestapo, minimizing the Holocaust, and trivializing the atrocities committed by actual Nazis. They killed far more Jews (six million) and other Europeans (an additional five to nine million) than both the Armenian and Rwandan genocides combined. The Holocaust was also far more systematic and organized, with the intent of killing every Jew in Europe. The Nazis put a system into place that would — absent the allies — likely have exterminated most, if not all, Jews on the continent.
That hatred persists to this very day. Hamas, Hezbollah, the Iranian regime — they all want to kill Jews and wipe Israel off the map. Few, if any, people still feel the same way about the Armenians and Rwandans.
Yet Walz chose to minimize that. But that's what Democrats do, every single time they call President Trump Hitler, say ICE is the Gestapo, and compare 2026 America to 1930s Germany. So it's really no surprise the Democrats are rallying behind the guy who had a Nazi tattoo on his chest for years, and who only covered it up when he decided to run for the Senate.
At some point, the word "Nazi" has to mean something again. If everyone and everything Democrats like is Nazism, then nothing is. That's exactly where Democrats have taken us, spending years crying wolf and pointing the finger at Republicans, only to turn around and excuse, ignore, and embrace it in order to gain political power. That's not moral clarity, and it's certainly not educational. It's raw political opportunism, and the Democrats should not, cannot, be awarded for it.
