J.D. Vance Goes Full Nazi — In Scripted "Reichstag Moment"
Can We Now Agree That Trump Is The Hitler Of Our Time? [Receipts Included]
Note from the Author
In the wake of the assassination of one of America’s most beloved preachers of hate, Charlie Kirk, Trump — through his senior staff — has announced expanded efforts to crack down on “hate speech” and criminalize his political opposition. There’s a deep irony in using the death of a so-called “free speech warrior” to gut the First Amendment — but that’s where we are.
The original title and subtitle for this article were supposed to be False Start: Tyler Robinson, and the Temporary Postponement of America’s “Reichstag Fire” and Recognizing Trump as the Hitler of Our Time — The Only Way to Prevent Another Reichstag Moment. The last-minute change — and the delay in publishing — were directly related to Vice President J. D. Vance going full bore with his Adolf Hitler, National Unity, declarations as guest host of The Charlie Kirk Show on Monday, September 15. After hearing the VP, it was clear to me that the country’s Reichstag moment was not being delayed by a false start or false alarm. A decision had been made to carry out the mission regardless of the facts on the ground — using the executive-office megaphone to shape a fictitious narrative that justifies what’s to come.
What the actions of the Trump government show — which many already knew — is that it has never been about free speech on the right. It has always been about the freedom to practice open racism without reprisal or rejection by civil society. Many progressive commentators have likened Trump’s thirst for Caesarian-power, and his drive to consolidate the branches of government under his personal rule, to pages ripped directly from the Third Reich in the reshaping of German society under Nazi rule.
In the days since the killing of Charlie Kirk, corporate media pundits have called relentlessly for a de-escalation in rhetoric. If you assume these appeals were directed at the leader of our country, asking him to bring healing to a divided nation, you’d be wrong. The intended recipients of these calls for “civil discourse” are not Trump or his allies, but the many Americans who have drawn the obvious parallel between the lawless actions of Donald Trump and German dictator Adolf Hitler.
Whether from Sen. Katie Britt (R–AL) or Sen. John Fetterman (D–PA), the bipartisan refrain has been the same: that comparing Trump to Hitler is itself responsible for the rise in political violence.
As a student of history and a sober-minded observer of current events, I contend that this is not only false — it’s dangerously false. Denying the clear parallels between Trump and Hitler is not prudence; it is gaslighting that risks cementing our undoing as a nation. The fatal flaw in much of this well-meaning commentary is the assumption that the comparison is between Trump of 2025 and Hitler of 1945. That is not an apples-to-apples comparison.
The convergence we must reckon with is between Trump of 2025 and Hitler of February 26, 1933 — the day before the Reichstag Fire. Any American willing to weigh the facts will see that we are standing at the same precipice as the Weimar Republic on the eve of its collapse — the moment before power tipped so far in favor of the Führer that the republic ceased to exist and the Third Reich was born.
To borrow a phrase from the creator of MechaHitler, Elon Musk: the Trump government is not “an apple with a worm in it… it’s just a bowl of worms.” Replace the worms with Nazis, and you have an accurate description of the current ruling party.
Trump’s latest manufactured crisis should have been warning enough.
Given this imminent threat, I’m using the tools at my disposal to “do politics the right way,” while we’re still a free society — for now.
My thesis is simple: Donald Trump and Charlie Kirk are the Adolf Hitler and Horst Wessel of our time.
PROVE ME WRONG.
This is OUR Reichstag fire
Not that cooler heads have prevailed, but since Republicans have temporarily called off the 2-Day War (9/10/25 - 9/12/25) — TWO DAYS OF FIRE AND FURY, FOLLOWED BY ‘THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS,’ IN WHAT WILL FOREVER BE CALLED THE 2-DAY WAR1 — can we all take a moment to discuss the big red elephant in the room?
The Republican Party has gone full Kanye!
Immediately following Donald Trump’s announcement that “The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead,” the neo-Nazi global organizing hub, better known as X, exploded with battle cries to obliterate the Democratic Party and wipe the radical leftists from existence.
In a now-deleted viral post, X user Matt Forney went as far as to say:
“Charlie Kirk being assassinated is the American Reichstag fire. It is time for a complete crackdown on the left. Every Democratic politician must be arrested and the party banned under RICO. Every libtard commentator must be shut down. Stochastic terrorism. They caused this.”
The idea that America, under Donald Trump, has been inching toward a Reichstag Moment has been a common point of discussion on the political left for some time now. In fact, progressive political commentator Hasan Piker, who was live-streaming during the assassination, cautioned his audience not to joke about the incident, urging them instead to show “radical empathy,” with the understanding that the far-right governing party, currently occupying the White House, would seek to use this “as a Reichstag fire moment… to further persecute and prosecute political dissidents.”
For those unfamiliar with the Reichstag fire: on February 27, 1933, a Dutch communist by the name of Marinus van der Lubbe was accused of setting the German Parliament building on fire. Hitler seized on the event to falsely claim it was part of a larger communist conspiracy. At the time, Germany in the 1930s could have swung either to the far left or the far right, and Hitler recognized communists as his greatest political threat. By exaggerating the fire into a supposed nationwide plot, he justified mass arrests of communists, the dismantling of democratic institutions, and the subjugation of the judiciary — setting the stage for what came next: the fall of the Weimar Republic and the rise of Nazi Germany.
For a group that has taken such offense to being compared to Nazis, you would think they’d shy away from taking actions straight from the Nazi playbook. But even before a suspect was apprehended for the murder of Charlie Kirk, the entire right — as if algorithmically choreographed — took to their MechaHitler accounts, shouting: This is OUR Reichstag fire.
Trump, who had been confronted by activists the night before the assassination, shouting — “Free D.C., Free Palestine, Trump is the Hitler of our Time” — addressed the nation from behind the Resolute Desk. He accused his political opponents on the left of causing Kirk’s death:
“For years those on the radical left have compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to Nazis. This kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for the terrorism we’re seeing in our country…”
Without offering a shred of evidence, the entire administration quickly fell in line with Trump’s talking points, fanning the flames of a so-called “radical leftist” nationwide conspiracy. On September 10, Kate Miller — wife of Stephen Miller — posted the following on her MechaHitler account:
“It’s a real treat to see all these Liberals condemn political violence now.
You called us Hitler.
You called us Nazis.
You called us Racists.
You have blood on your hands.”
On the morning of September 11, Trump spoke with reporters on the White House South Lawn, where he explicitly called for political violence against his opponents: “We have to beat the hell out of radical left lunatics.”
The following day, September 12, Trump sat down with Fox & Friends, still reeling from the embarrassment of being called Hitler, to announce that a suspect was in custody. Sticking to the party line, he immediately veered into a tangent about the alleged George Soros–funded activists who had organized a demonstration against him in a restaurant the night before Kirk’s assassination:
I went into a restaurant and this woman stood up.
I looked at her — she had money. They get paid for it. From Soros and other people.
We’re going to look into Soros. I think it is a RICO case against him and other people.
This is more than protesters. This is agitation and riots on the street.
In an attempt to pull Trump back from the brink, Fox & Friends host Ainsley Earhardt asked:
“What do we do about our country? We have radicals on the right and left. People are watching videos and cheering — some people are cheering that Charlie was killed. How do we fix this country? How do we come back together?”
Trump’s response:
“I’ll tell you something that is going to get me in trouble — I couldn’t care less. Radicals on the right are radical because they don’t want to see crime… Radicals on the left are the problem — and they are vicious and horrible and politically savvy. They want men in women’s sports, they want transgender for everyone, open borders.”
In a response reminiscent of January 6, Trump made no attempt to lead the country, or call off the mob. His Reichstag moment was here, and like Hitler, he was committed to seizing it. With Kirk’s assassination, Trump was handed the perfect opportunity to crush his political opponents once and for all2.
Not surprisingly, the legs of the imagined leftist conspiracy were not strong enough to stand against the actual facts. Shortly after Trump’s announcement of the suspect’s capture, a joint press conference was held with federal, state, and local officials. A visibly emotional Governor Spencer Cox informed the nation that a suspect was in custody, and he was saddened to discover that the alleged shooter was not a radical leftist or an immigrant, but “one of us.”
With the revelation that Kirk’s assassin was both ideologically and demographically inconvenient, Cox counseled the nation to let cooler heads prevail, saying:
“This is our moment: Do we escalate or do we find an off-ramp? It’s a choice, and everyone of us get’s to make the choice.”
True to form, and unwilling to be swayed by inconvenient facts, Trump and his accomplices dismissed the “fake news,” and made the choice to press forward with the convenient lie that radical leftists are a violent scourge that must be purged from American politics. Stephen Miller — who, in the weeks leading up to Kirk’s assassination, had labeled the Democratic Party a “domestic extremist organization” — went on Fox News to stoke the flames, invoking Charlie’s supposed last words:
“The last message that Charlie Kirk gave to me before he joined his creator in heaven was he said that we have to dismantle and take on the radical left organizations in this country that are fomenting violence. That was his last message that he sent me… we are going to do that.”
Chris Rufo took to his MechaHitler account to issue a vote of no confidence, in Kash Patel, questioning his ability to transform the FBI into a J. Edgar Hoover–styled conservative Gestapo, tasked with hunting political dissidents:
“…it is time for Republicans to assess whether Kash Patel is the right man to run the FBI. He performed terribly in the last few days, and it’s not clear whether he has the operations experience to investigate, infiltrate, and disrupt the violent movements — of whatever ideology — that threaten peace in the United States.”
To be clear, despite what benevolent racist liberals such as Bill Maher are saying, what Trump, Rufo, and Miller are calling for is textbook state repression — the hallmark of Hitler’s Nazi Germany. Trump isn’t the “Hitler of our time” because it’s a nice slogan to own the right. He’s the Hitler of our time because, more than any other national leader in the postwar era, Trump’s will to embolden Nazis and Nazi sympathizers is unmatched. And rather than pull the country back from the brink of civil war, Trump, in true Hitler form, seems determined to push us over it.
While many are willing to give Trump a pass for his “unconventional leadership” and disastrous policy choices, tariffs aren’t the only bad idea he’s reviving from the 1930s. According to The Guardian:
“On a visit to Europe to mark the 100th anniversary of the end of the first world war, Donald Trump insisted to his then chief of staff, John Kelly, Hitler did a lot of good things.”
When we reflect on Trump’s current praise for autocrats and dictators — and his ongoing bromance with Vladimir Putin — these remarks on Hitler track all too well.
And John Kelly isn’t the only former staffer who has warned Americans about Trump’s Hitler-like tendencies. Again, according to The Guardian:
“Shortly before the deadly attack on the US Capitol on 6 January, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, Gen Mark Milley, told aides the US was facing a ‘Reichstag moment’ because Donald Trump was preaching ‘the gospel of the Führer.’”
In response to reports that Trump and his allies were plotting to overturn the 2020 election, Milley is reported to have said:
“They may try, but they’re not going to fucking succeed. You can’t do this without the military. You can’t do this without the CIA and the FBI. We’re the guys with guns.”
Having learned from his first failed coup attempt, the current Trump regime has since purged the military, the FBI, the intelligence community, and the administrative state of all non-loyalists.
For the “stop calling Trump Hitler” crowd, this is what was referred to in Nazi Germany as gleichschaltung — the forced coordination and consolidation of all institutions under a single-party dictatorship.
Although it’s once again en vogue to chastise political dissidents for rightfully referring to Trump as a new-age Hitler, I’d remind the reader that accusations of Trump being akin to Hitler — much like the Tyler Robinson bullet — originate from the right.
Trump and his “Brownshirts”
During the 2016 Republican National Convention, former Republican senator Gordon Humphrey was reported to have said of the convention:
“This is pretty shocking and shameful. I’ve seen a lot, but this is not a meeting of the Republican National Committee. This is a meeting of brownshirts. . .”
When asked why he had likened Trump supporters to “brownshirts,” the violent paramilitary wing of Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Party, Humphrey replied:
“They might not be fascists, but they act like fascists. . . They have the manners, or the lack of manners, of fascists. And in this respect they are only too reflective of Donald Trump himself.”
Prior to Trump’s return to office, rebukes of his Hitler-like doctrine of hate were a bipartisan affair. Voices on the American left have been sounding the alarm about the threat posed by his rhetoric since he announced his presidential bid in the 2016 election.
The sharp rise in political violence over the past decade is directly correlated with Donald Trump’s entry into politics. And despite what right-wing commentators on Fox or Elon Musk’s MechaHitler site say, the data is clear about the source of that violence.
The interference that mainstream media and liberal pundits are running for Trump — by casting those who compare him to Hitler as the problem, rather than confronting the fact that Trump practices a politics strikingly similar to Hitler’s — makes them complicit in his fascist makeover of the country. The incessant cry of the “both-sides” pundit class echoes the tragedy that befell this nation during Trump’s first term, when white supremacist, James Alex Fields Jr., deliberately drove his car into a crowd of people peacefully protesting a Nazi rally, killing one person and injuring dozens more.
We all remember Trump’s response to that atrocity (spoiler alert: it wasn’t to order flags at half-mast in memory of Heather Heyer), when he finally addressed the nation on August 15, 2017, and infamously declared, “you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides.” To be clear: on one side of that incident were actual Nazis; on the other side were people protesting those Nazis. Yet liberal pundits, like Trump himself, have managed to recast the Nazis as victims — just as Trump later transformed his January 6 insurrectionists into “wronged and betrayed” victims of a Democratic conspiracy, even as police officers lay dead on the “other side.”
Trump’s efforts to reshape the narrative around political violence in this country are not new. During his first term, when it was discovered that white supremacists were responsible for every single act of race-based domestic terrorism in 2018, Trump had his Attorney General, Bill Barr, block the report from being released to Congress. Similarly, in the wake of the 2020 George Floyd protests, and Trump’s violent crackdown on demonstrators, Barr was called before Congress to answer for the stark discrepancies in the administration’s treatment of non-white protestors — who were protesting Trump — versus white vigilantes, who were carrying out the “president’s personal agenda.”
Transcript Excerpts: Rep. Pramila Jayapal Questioning Attorney General William Barr
House Judiciary Committee Hearing — July 28, 2020
Mr. Barr, on June 1st, there were protests against the murder of George Floyd and police brutality in Lafayette Park. These powerful and massive protests were about the persistent killing of Black bodies by law enforcement and an awakening of the conscience of our country.
Yet your response was to direct federal officers to close in on the protesters, using shields offensively as weapons, tear gas, pepper balls, irritants, explosive devices, batons, and horses to clear the area — just so the president could get a photo op.
So I ask you: Do you think the response at Lafayette Square — to tear gas, pepper spray, beat protesters, and injure American citizens who were simply exercising their First Amendment rights — was appropriate?
. . .Apparently, the president believes you can be “activated” to dominate Americans exercising First Amendment rights if they’re protesting against him.
But let’s compare your response when protesters support the president. On two separate occasions, after President Trump tweeted “Liberate Michigan,” armed protesters swarmed the Michigan Capitol. Some carried swastikas, Confederate flags, and one had a dark-haired doll with a noose.
Here’s the point: There is a real discrepancy in how you react as Attorney General.
When white men with swastikas storm a government building with guns, there’s no need for the president to “activate you,” because they’re advancing his agenda.
But when Black people and people of color protest police brutality, systemic racism, and the president’s failure to respond, you forcibly remove them with armed officers and chemical irritants, because the president calls them “terrorists.”
You take an aggressive approach to Black Lives Matter protests, but not to right-wing extremists threatening to lynch a governor — if it benefits the president.
Trump’s emboldening of far-right extremism and political violence is a documented reality. No other president in the postwar era has trafficked in such brazen Nazi dog whistles to rally his base. The old Southern Strategy pales in comparison to Trump’s overt Nazi outreach.
In May 2024, a Nazi propaganda video was posted on Donald Trump’s Truth Social account. The 30-second clip mimicked a World War I–style newspaper reel, with an editorialized voiceover asking, “What happens after Donald Trump wins? What’s next for America?” Directly beneath the words “What’s next for America” appeared the chilling phrase: “… the creation of a unified Reich,” a direct reference to Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Germany.
Even after national media called attention to it, the Trump campaign did not immediately delete the ad. A campaign spokesperson claimed it had been posted by a junior staffer, not by Trump himself. Hitler propaganda aside, the deeper question remains: why are so many GOP politicians being exposed with Nazis on their staff?
“We Love Hitler. We Love Trump.”
The above slogan was chanted by a Nazi welcoming party in Howell, Michigan — a notorious neo-Nazi and Ku Klux Klan hotbed — to greet Trump during his August 2024 visit, when he delivered his infamous “Crime and Safety” stump speech:
We’re here today to talk about how we are going to stop the Kamala crime wave that is going on at levels that nobody’s ever seen before. And she is, as you know, the most radical left person ever even thought of for high office — certainly for the office of president…
Her father is, as you know, a Marxist professor — and he obviously did a good job. But this is where she’s coming from…
You see her now with a smile. She’s gotten rid of the laugh over the last couple of days… But I’ll bet inside she was laughing last night when she saw the way Joe Biden left. Because that was a coup. That was a coup. And I’m no fan of his at all… But that was a coup — a vicious, violent overthrow of a president of the United States.
Since Comrade Kamala Harris took office, her administration’s crime statistics show she’s presided over:
• 43% increase in violent crime
• 58% increase in rape
• 89% increase in aggravated assault
• 56% increase in robbery
The crime in America — the fact is — is out of control…
I’m going to make it — along with the economy, inflation, strong borders, and energy dominance — my top priority.
I’m including crime in America. Normally that’s done locally, but we’re going to give local people a lot of help.
In the closing months of the 2024 campaign, Trump continued to ratchet up the rhetoric, making several promises to his “brownshirts.” He pledged that if they returned him to the White House, he would be a dictator on day one. Not only would he involve the military in local law enforcement — as noted above — he would also militarize the elections, and serve as retribution for all who had been “wronged and betrayed” by Biden and the Democrats.
“In 2016 I declared, I am your voice. Today I add, I am your warrior, I am your justice — and for those who have been wronged and betrayed — I am your retribution.”
It didn’t take long for the cancer of hate carried by Trump to metastasize in the American body politic following his return to office. While the poison of far-right extremism had briefly gone into remission during the Biden–Harris administration, Trump’s return to power unleashed a flood of Nazi antigens back into the bloodstream of the United States. One of his first official acts was to pardon the violent extremists who stormed the Capitol on his behalf, followed by an overhaul of the U.S. State Department that banned the term “racially or ethnically motivated violent extremism” and shuttered its Office for Countering Violent Extremism.
Insurrectionists who once called for the killing of police officers during the Trump-led January 6 revolt now hold official positions in his government. The army of masked Nazis who once marched in the streets on Trump’s behalf has all but disappeared. In their place has arisen an army of masked government officials — now granted license by the Supreme Court to hunt non-white people across the country, in scenes reminiscent of pre–Civil War fugitive slave patrols.
We no longer have a federal government. In the words of Carl Jung, what we have is “a well-disciplined mob in the hands of a single madman.” In this reality, the administrative state is nonexistent. Federal regulators serve only at the behest of the ruler, and there are two distinct material outcomes for those seeking to work with our regulatory and law-enforcement bodies: one outcome for friends of the Führer, and a very different outcome for enemies. The system of checks and balances has collapsed, replaced by levels of graft and corruption not seen since the days of Warren G. Harding.
The Purging of Dissent
Pardon my extremism, but the posthumous censorship of critiques of Charlie Kirk’s “free speech” is the hallmark of a totalitarian dictatorship. Just as Donald Trump is using the weight of the government to purge the historical record of atrocities displayed in the Smithsonian, Charlie Kirk’s supporters have spent the entire weekend calling for the crackdown and punishment of any American who dares to highlight the ugliness of Kirk’s racist, sexist, homophobic, and transphobic past.
In true Kirk fashion, members of the MechaHitler social-media site have begun creating lists — disturbingly reminiscent of Gestapo records in Nazi Germany — used to surveil and report anyone suspected of disloyalty, criticism, or “anti-Nazi” activity. In collaboration with Republican members of Congress, they are openly calling for “the full force of the United States government” to come down on the “radical left” for “celebrating Charlie’s death.”
They are literally compiling lists of “radical leftist identities and their employers” for state-sponsored retribution. At the same time, Trump’s deputy chief of staff, Stephen Miller — the Grand Cyclops — is on national television accusing “the left” of being a “domestic terrorism movement” engaged in “organized doxing campaigns”:
There is a domestic terrorism movement in this country. When you see these organized doxing campaigns where the left calls people enemies of the republic, calls them fascists, says they’re Nazis, says they’re evil, says they have to be removed, and then prints their addresses, what do you think they’re trying to do? They are trying to inspire someone to murder them. That is their objective. That is their intent. And when you see online, Sean, as we’ve seen for the last few days, tape after tape after tape of federal workers, bureaucrats, staffers in the Pentagon, educators, professors, healthcare workers, nurses, celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk. These are radicalized people. There is a domestic terrorism movement in this country.
In the words of Mehdi Hasan, “every projection is a confession” when it comes to the right. The reality is that, out of fear of angering Donald Trump and having their organizations targeted by the government, large media companies such as MSNBC and The Washington Post have swiftly — and wrongfully — terminated employees not for celebrating the death of Charlie, but for discussing the life of Charlie: a life spent trafficking in some of the most hateful and dehumanizing tropes against more than half of America’s population, for which he was paid handsomely, as the polite and youthful face of white supremacy.
The far-right governing party has created an environment where journalists can no longer tell the truth about our present reality, and museum curators are afraid to tell the truth about our past. This is what it’s like living in Hitler’s America.
Even with all the browncoating, list-making, and flame-fanning, conservative pundits insist that comparing Trump to Hitler is just another “Democratic hoax” meant to make him look bad — even as they use their very public platforms to call for what, in Nazi Germany, was known as Aktion T4.
Lawrence B. Jones (Fox & Friends):
They have given billions of dollars to mental health and the homeless population. A lot of them don’t want to take the programs. A lot of them don’t want to get the help that is necessary. You can’t give them a choice. Either you take the resources that we’re going to give you, or you decide that you’re going to be locked up in jail. That’s the way it has to be now.
Brian Kilmeade (Fox & Friends):Or, uh, involuntary lethal injection or something. Just kill ’em or something. Just kill ’em.
In Trump’s America, like Hitler’s Germany, euthanasia is being normalized by state-sponsored media.
The right, through its media dominance, has mastered the art of shaping counter-narratives in defiance of the facts on the ground. Nowhere was this more evident than in the case of Tyler Robinson, who extinguished the raging flames of the Reichstag mob. Rather than allowing the fire to die, Elon Musk sought to reignite it by amplifying a false headline — “Charlie Kirk Fatally Shot by Leftist Gunman” — which remained live for nearly 24 hours after it was revealed the shooter was not a leftist. This was no accident: when Grok AI correctly stated that Charlie Kirk trafficked in “extremist” views, Musk personally apologized to his users for MechaHitler’s “idiocy.”
Over the past 72 hours, Trump and his allies have made clear they are fully committed to weaponizing this lie as a political instrument. Or, as Carl Jung once warned, the belief that “the end sanctifies the means… anticipates the lie as a political instrument in an exceedingly dangerous way.”
And what are the ends Trump seeks to achieve? The violent overthrow of his political opponents — in order to consolidate a one-party state.
A Wailing Widow’s Cry for More Violence
“The evil-doers responsible for my husband’s assassination have no idea what they have done… You have no idea what you just have unleashed across the entire country and the world. You have no idea the fire that you have ignited within this wife. The cries of this widow will echo around the world like a battle cry.”
Watching Charlie Kirk’s widow stand in his stead was heart-wrenching. Like many of you, I was deeply saddened as she recounted their three-year-old daughter asking about her deceased father. As a human being, the loss of life weighs heavily on my soul, and the pain of death — a grief I know too well — is something I would never wish on any family.
That said, her cry for a religious crusade against the “evildoers” was eerily reminiscent of the rhetoric of a jihad against “infidels.” The nebulous “they” interspersed throughout her remarks made it clear that Mrs. Kirk’s grief had reached a turning point and was quickly repurposed into something darker. The heartstrings she had pulled moments earlier had to be secured out of fear they could be twisted into a rope — one that I, and others like me, could easily be lynched with.
This call for violence was not directed at an individual; it was aimed at groups — likely the very communities her husband built his career vilifying.

The nuclear potential of a white woman’s tears is one of the most explosive substances in America. Mrs. Kirk was not crying for peace, reconciliation, or even justice; she was crying for retribution. Just as Joseph Goebbels used the death of Horst Wessel — whom Hitler called a “blood witness” and “a battle hymn for millions” — to radicalize Nazi youth and expand the ranks of Hitler’s army, Donald Trump and Stephen Miller are now working to elevate Charlie Kirk into martyr status to draw new blood into Trump’s Nazi-like movement.
The politicization of Charlie Kirk’s death is something Charlie himself would have endorsed. After the killing of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, Kirk’s last post declared:
“If we want things to change, it’s 100% necessary to politicize the senseless murder of Iryna Zarutska…”
While this was meant as a clear incitement of violence against Black men, the actions of Kirk’s widow are designed to stir the same bloodlust for pogroms and revenge. In the wake of her remarks, young white men have already staged open Nazi demonstrations, calling on the government to “unite the right and crush the left” and stoking the rage of the white masses with chants of “White Man, Fight Back!”
For those hoping for a de-escalation in rhetoric, I’m sure the Social Democratic Party of Germany once hoped Hitler and his allies would tone it down too. We know how that turned out — in May 1933 the SPD was declared illegal, had their funds confiscated by the ruling Nazi party, and were forced into exile.
When I saw the following message — posted by James Woods — after it was revealed that the shooter was not a leftist, a Democrat, or an immigrant — I knew the far right would not let go of their “Reichstag Moment.” Nothing short of an organized Democratic Party that actually caters to the will of the people will stop the Nazification of the American state — a process the far right is using Charlie Kirk’s death to fuel and accelerate:
When the Democrats ran out of options — the ballot harvesting, the mail-in ballot fraud, the lawfare, the phony impeachments, and the illegal invasion of our borders — assassination became their last resort. Of course, they wouldn’t do it themselves, but smugly stood by as their “useful idiots” did it for them. They missed President Trump by inches. Steve Scalise barely survived. Charlie Kirk was not murdered as a vocal conservative citizen, but was assassinated as a potential future President of the United States. His death was a coup, a preemptive insurrection, and yes, treason.
Triumph of the Will
Donald Trump and his administration have been coordinating a sustained campaign to paint their political opponents as “violent extremists,” granting Trump justification — much like Hitler — for “mass arrests” and “the dismantling of democratic institutions.”
The following messages from Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller, and J.D. Vance — all issued within the past 24 hours — illustrate the war drums of a Nazi-aligned administration. Just as Hitler declared there was an “enemy within,” Stephen Miller now declares there is a “vast domestic terror movement” organized by the Democratic Party. Anyone who refuses to bend the knee to Trump’s effort to create a one-party state will be branded part of this “vast network of terror” and targeted for repression. They are no longer hiding their intentions. This is an open declaration of war by a rogue government — even as pundits wag a finger at the rhetoric on “both sides.”
Kristi Noem:
The last thing Charlie had texted me about, about a day or two before he passed away, was about those mayors and governors. He wanted them to be held accountable for how dangerous they were making the situation for their people that had to live in those cities.
Stephen Miller:
There’s incredible sadness, but there’s incredible anger. And the thing about anger is that unfocused anger or blind rage is not a productive emotion. But focused anger — righteous anger directed toward a just cause — is one of the most important agents of change in human history. And we are going to channel all of the anger we have over the organized campaign that led to this assassination, to uproot and dismantle these terrorist networks. So let me explain what that means. The organized doxing campaigns, the organized riots, the organized street violence, the organized campaigns of dehumanization and vilification, posting people’s addresses, combining that with messaging designed to incite violence, and the actual organized cells that carry out and facilitate the violence — it is a vast domestic terror movement. And with God as my witness, we are going to use every resource we have at the Department of Justice, Homeland Security, and throughout this government to identify, disrupt, dismantle, and destroy these networks and make America safe again for the American people.
JD Vance:
Now, I have heard many calls in the last few days for unity and for healing in the wake of Charlie’s assassination. You have no idea how desperately I want that, how gratified I was when Democratic friends and even former Senate colleagues reached out to offer their condolences to me…
But there is no unity with people who scream at children over their parents’ politics… with someone who lies about what Charlie Kirk said in order to excuse his murder… with the people who celebrate Charlie Kirk’s assassination… with the people who fund these articles… We can only have [unity] with people who acknowledge that political violence is unacceptable, and when we work to dismantle the institutions that promote violence and terrorism in our own country… our government… will be working very hard to do exactly that in the months to come… we will explore every option…
JD Vance all but quoted Hitler directly in his 1939 proclamation: “Whoever offends against this unity need expect nothing else than annihilation as an enemy of the nation.”
For those still on the fence about the Nazification of this administration, consider the role of “national unity” in Nazi propaganda — the forceful reshaping of society under totalitarian rule.
Machiavellian statecraft aside, the ambitions of the state cannot function without civilian and private partners. And two of the vilest, most despicable figures directly linked to Donald Trump have been using their platforms to incite pogroms against vulnerable populations. This, too, is a hallmark of Nazification.
Elon Musk, the former co-leader of Trump’s “unified Reich,” has been working overtime to endanger the lives of trans people. To borrow an accusation from Stephen Miller (remember: every accusation is a confession) — Elon is clearly “trying to inspire someone to murder them.”
Equally vile, Trump’s most prominent civilian strategist and adviser has been just as vocal in promoting a deranged and genocidal conspiracy, accusing trans people of operating a “trans terror cell.”
Of course, it doesn’t stop there. Looney Laura Loomer, in mania-inspired machinations, authored a number of additional screeds on her MechaHitler account, two of which almost identically mirror the language being used by the administration, and the latter a direct call for Trump to act as a dictator to eradicate the left:
I was thinking about this over the last few nights while I couldn’t sleep.
I have to say, I do want President Trump to be the “dictator” the Left thinks he is, and I want the right to be as devoted to locking up and silencing our violent political enemies as they pretend we are.
I’ve had enough of the Left only thinking we will defund them, prosecute them, lock them up and dismantle their power for generations to come.
It just needs to happen.
After defunding, prosecuting, and jailing, what is there left to do, Laura? If you can’t read between the lines of her Nazi babble, let me make it explicit — this is a call for the death of political enemies. And for the “stop calling Trump Hitler” crowd, the one-party state she’s advocating for, is the same totalitarian dictatorship as Hitler’s Third Reich.
The narcissistic gaslighting is par for the course with this collective of far-right psychopaths: “I do want President Trump to be the “dictator” the Left thinks he is…”
These people are willing serfs. Donald Trump doesn’t have allies. He has servants. Just read his recent remarks to members of the NATO alliance:
If NATO does as I say, the WAR will end quickly, and all of those lives will be saved! If not, you are just wasting my time, and the time, energy, and money of the United States. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
The people around Trump are there to do his bidding, and that’s it. He has surrounded himself with a servile class of spineless traitors, willing to dismantle the U.S. Constitution for the hope of living safe and comfortable under a Führer.
To borrow a phrase from Charlie Kirk, Trump is a “petulant child,” a 79-year-old man-baby who has declared war on half the country because he can’t accept that he lost an election.
In this moment of crisis, the Democratic Party needs to show leadership. Stand up to the tyrant. Organize an emergency convention to speak directly to the entire country. Donald Trump is prepared to see us all die if he cannot rule as our king. That is unacceptable in a free and democratic nation. Stand up for truth. Stand up for America. Stand against Trump’s lies about “political violence” and who we are as a nation. These are dangerous times — made more dangerous when elected representatives insist that calling the president a Nazi is the problem, rather than the fact that we have Nazis seeking to establish a single-party, Christo-fascist, white-supremacist state — a murderous Fourth Reich thirsty for the blood of those Kirk labeled “maggots, vermin, and swine.”
In JD Vance’s message on the Charlie Kirk Show today, he made sure to intersperse scripture in an attempt to make clean what is inherently dirty. In reflecting on this moment in America after the assassination of one of its beloved preachers of hate, I also had a scripture come to mind: “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain.”
All of our lives may mean far less while we are among the living than they will when we are finally planted in the ground. The right believes the seed of Charlie Kirk will bring forth the fruit of repression that enables the one-party state they dream of. But those of us who stand for freedom and democracy know that only the fruit that holds the seeds of life will bring into being a true change in society. Charlie’s death is being used to unleash terror by the right, but the other half of the nation will show that when met with the force of a tyrant, the spirit of freedom will keep us speaking truth about Kirk, Trump, and the Divided State of America.
The planners of this current Nazi regime — Miller, Vance, and others — are doomed to fail. As Abraham Lincoln reminded us during this nation’s last civil war, “force is all-conquering, but its victories are short-lived.” The Greek philosopher Aristotle agreed: “Tyranny is the worst of governments; and yet it is the least durable of all, and has the shortest life.”
If Kirk’s wife’s tearful Serena Joy-style message is any indication of what to expect from his memoriam on September 21, we should anticipate white-supremacist fire and brimstone raining down on the “infidels” from the likes of Pastor Doug Wilson — in what will likely be the funeral version of a “Klanbake convention,” with bible selections.
In conclusion, I’ll end with one of the most empathetic statements I’ve seen in the past 24 hours, clearly inspired by the life and death of Charlie Kirk:
He was killed on camera. No one’s family deserves to have to witness that. It’s unthinkably cruel that people would then go on the internet and use their platform to say about an innocent man that “I don’t care that he’s dead.” “He’s not a hero.” “He’s a scumbag.” “He shouldn’t be celebrated.”
I’m talking about George Floyd. You thought I was talking about Charlie Kirk? No — those are actual quotes by Charlie Kirk about George Floyd. Outrageous that anyone would say that about the dead, right?
So much truth in this eulogy written by erictastic. There’s a deep irony in the reality that half the country seems prepared to go to war with the other half to uphold the white-supremacist double standard this eulogy exposes.
Everyone, please stay safe — and prepare.
“This is how the man does it, and if you don' t wake up and find out how he does it, I tell you, they'll be building gas chambers and gas ovens pretty soon-- I don't mean those kind you've got at home in your kitchen-- [and] you'll be in one of them, just like the Jews ended up in gas ovens over there in Germany. You're in a society that's just as capable of building gas ovens for black people as Hitler's society was.”

Especially in the wake of the Bolsonaro verdict, what Trump and his associates fear most is Democrats returning to power and holding them accountable — as Brazil did with Bolsonaro. They are not joking about consolidating power and entrenching themselves in government so the other side never again has a chance to check them — which is why Trump refuses to stop smearing his opposition as “violent radical leftists.”
