"I think part of the reason why I'm being pushed towards Trump so strongly is I find that the Democrats and the left keep going straight to Hitler all the time with everything."

Kamala Harris and the Democrat Party are super into calling Donald Trump a fascist, a Nazi, actually the reincarnation of Hitler. They lean into this talking point every chance they get. Hillary Clinton's been doing it since 2016, Joe Biden jumped aboard before he was kicked off the ballot by his VP, and Kamala Harris has been leaning into this reincarnated Hitler notion repeatedly as the campaign season comes to a close. But is it working?
A clip of a undecided voter focus group from the battleground state of Pennsylvania has emerged on social media showing a man saying that he's starting to lean Trump specifically because of all the rhetoric and fearmongering.
"I can't," he said, "I think part of the reason why I'm being pushed towards Trump so strongly is I find that the Democrats and the left keep going straight to Hitler all the time with everything."
"Like, and if it's not the left pushing Hitler it's the right pushing Stalin, so it's like we're fighting World War II every day for every single election. It's so exhausting. I think it just detracts from—It pushes me away from their position. It's so hyperbolic that it makes it impossible to have good discussions and I think it ruins the discourse."
When the moderator asks the others on the call if they think it's useful to have Hitler brought up so often, they all shake their heads "no." Pennsylvania is a key state in this presidential election and its 19 winner-take-all Electoral College votes are highly sought after by both candidates.
During Harris' rallies and town halls she has been repeatedly asked about her plans for a potential presidency and her policy ideas, and in so many cases, she has answered with complaints about Trump. After her recent town hall with CNN, even the pundits who are known to be favorable to her said that she "focused a lot more on Donald Trump... than many specifics in terms of what she would do as president." And as she did, she called him a fascist.
When asked to speak out against Trump's border policies, Harris could only say that she didn't think Trump implemented his own policies as well as he could have but declined to say that she thought they were bad policies. In fact, Harris has co-opted several of Trump's policy ideas despite calling him a fascist.
Harris even held a press conference, the first one of her candidacy, simply to invoke the notion that Trump and Hitler were essentially separated at birth. "It is deeply troubling and incredibly dangerous that Donald Trump would invoke Adolf Hitler, the man who is responsible for the deaths of 6 million Jews and hundreds of thousands of Americans. All of this is further evidence for the American people of who Donald Trump really is," Harris said. She took no questions.
She brought up the same concerns in her CNN town hall, saying that the "bombshell" comments from a disgruntled, former Trump White House chief-of-staff should be a "911 for the American people." But the truth is no one cares. It's a bit like Peter complaining about that imaginary wolf. Americans saw the four years of Donald Trump, the lack of fascism (i.e. consolidation of government power), the non-reemergence of Hitler, cheaper gas prices, and record low illegal immigration.
Prominent Jewish pundit Ben Shapiro finds the whole comparison rather confusing. He posted a photo of himself with Trump and a tablet in Hebrew, saying "I'm sorry, am I supposed to now believe that Trump is a Hitlerian Nazi? Because on a personal level, I have some questions."
It's pretty clear that neither Harris nor anyone on the Democrat side will be willing to answer them.
