Maybe it’s because I never have and never will be a sellout and say whatever someone else wants me to say without at least a little protestation, but I don’t understand how someone can sit in their cushy legacy media chair and spew the most unintelligent nonsense, all to smear people that they might ideologically oppose.

Then again, people like MSNBC’s Joy Reid seems to be able to put aside ethical argumentation in favor of getting paid millions of dollars.

Reid decided to go on a rant against President Donald Trump enforcing existing laws against illegal immigrants and compare it to what German dictator Adolf Hitler did to people through the Holocaust.

You can see and hear from the video below, but after Reid uses the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp to illustrate how Hitler influenced “regular German people” into going along with what eventually became genocide, she said it might sound familiar because she says it’s “undeniable” that what Trump is doing through the deportation of criminal invaders is similar.

“If that sounds vaguely familiar, that’s because it is,” Reid said with a smile on her face. “Similarities to what happened in Germany and what’s happening now in America are just undeniable. History may not repeat verbatim, but it sure does rhyme.”

In what way?

As Reid pointed out, Hitler took control of the media and censored those who published any form of opposition. Where’s that happening, Joy? How can someone influence the rollback of previous censorship under the previous administration and be controlling of messaging coming from…well, anywhere?

And how is giving people who committed crimes a free plane ride back to their home countries the same as rounding people up, throwing them into camps, and eventually torturing and killing them?

I don’t know about the rest of you, but as someone who grew up in a Jewish neighborhood where the highest per capita number of Holocaust survivors resided (Skokie, Ill.), I’m tired of these leftists using one of the worst atrocities in history and comparing it to literally everything someone does who has done none of the atrocities that someone like Hitler carried out.

The “Nazi” and “Hitler” argument has become that of people with very low IQs who only make the comparison because it sounds heinous, and rightfully so, to anyone that will listen to them while feeding their cats.

It’s lazy, and it’s the tactic of a loser that doesn’t have the capacity to argue individual topics based on the facts within them. It looks as though Reid qualifies as that type.
