The Democrats are beginning to sound an awful lot like the Nazis

Tucker Carlson, last night had a truly alarming monologue, and he expressed a sense of alarm.  Andrea Widburg at  the American Thinker has her take on Carlson's monologue at Tucker Carlson's frightening summation of what is happening in America. Of course, go read Widburg's post, and if you haven't yet heard Carlson's monologue, go listen to it at the link in the article.

The usually ebullient Tucker is manifestly upset, even angry at what’s happening in America. As we all must now, to protect ourselves, he opens by stating that his show immediately and repeatedly denounced the violence at the Capitol (true) because his show is completely opposed to political violence and supports law and order.
He then castigated the new selective enforcement of laws, which means they’re not laws or justice at all. They are merely tyrannical whims. What’s happening now is collective punishment, attacking Americans who had nothing to do with events at the Capitol.
One after another, Tucker details the corporate attacks on people who dared attend or listen to the Trump rally – people who had nothing to do with what happened at the Capitol. (We here at American Thinker also condemn strongly the small number of people who engaged in violent and manifestly illegal activity. We believe absolutely in the Constitution and the rule of law. That doesn’t mean, though, that we don’t believe that there were Antifa and other provocateurs in D.C. intentionally inflaming people and inducing them to act illegally.)
Tucker notes that these corporate attacks are not just random events, but in fact coordinated with each other , and coordinated with the now single party in political control of all the levers of power. And yes, I am discounting the Judiciary because they have proved to be gutless pawns of the Left.  He then explicitly states that such coordination is fundamentally illegal, violating both the RICO act and the Anti-Trust act. The are, in other words violating peoples civil rights, yet they are unconcerned that they might be prosecuted.  That is frightening, and it is meant to be so.  Ironically, this is precisely a Fascist tactic, being executed by people claiming to be anti fascist.  The hypocrisy is beyond breathtaking.

Then today, at Townhall.com Dennis Prager has another great piece, this time entitled The 'Good America'
In my last column, I described how I have come to better understand the moral problem of the "'good German,' the term used to describe the average, presumably decent German, who did nothing to hurt Jews but also did nothing to help them and did nothing to undermine the Nazi regime."
Watching America accept the rationally and morally indefensible physical and economic lockdown of the country, I concluded: "Apathy in the face of tyranny turns out not to be a German or Russian characteristic. I just never thought it could happen in America."
In one week, it has gotten worse. Now we are faced with a lockdown on speech the likes of which have never been seen in America. And the parallels with Germany are even more stark. The left-wing party (the Democrats) and the left-wing media (the "mainstream media") are using the mob invasion of the Capitol exactly the way the Nazis used the Reichstag fire.
Note, for those of you who have been denied the lessons history teaches, Prager explains that the Reichstag fire was an event, probably staged by the Nazis themselves, that was then used as an excuse to crack down on the Communists.  For, even though YOU might not be taught history, THEY know it.  Thus Trump supporters are being illegally denied civil rights today. Oh, and the German parliament then gave their new Chancellor, Adolf Hitler, the power to make law by decree. Sound familiar? Imagine that the Congress gave Biden (or more likely Harris) the power to decree that all your guns are banned and forfeit immediately.
What the left is doing is announcing -- and enforcing -- that conservatives "do not belong" in our society. The parallels to 1933 are precise. And most good Americans are keeping silent, just as did most Germans. Though they do not risk being beaten up, are Americans in 2021 as afraid of the American left as Germans in 1933 were of the German fascists? We're about to find out.
Prager, a Jew, a musician, political commentator, and author of a series of books on the Torah, is right to speak out, while he can. Hitler, after all killed 6 million Jews in his effort to wipe out the race of people with whom God first made His covenant. But Hitler also killed a lot of others, including Communists, and of course Christians such as Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a Lutheran pastor and critic of the Nazi regime. Form a Christian perspective, there was much to criticize about Hitler and the Nazis.  And whether they intend to or not, the Democrats are sounding an awful lot like the Nazis they denounce.
