Donald Trump is Using a Hitler Strategy

I will use the first half of this final Round to address Cons 4th argument and the last half for my summary and conclusion. POINT 1- Con appears to be stating that Hitler was not a Christian because of a song sung by Hitler youth. That is not relevant to the debate as I never argued that Trump was a good Christian only that he used Christianity to gain support for his agenda and a Hitler youth song is not a credible source of Hitler's religious ideology. This quote " The Ten Commandments have lost their validity. " Conscience is a Jewish invention, it is a blemish like circumcision. " That quote has been attributed to Hitler in only one book and is not found in any of his speeches. It is well accepted that Hitler claimed the Jews perverted the Christian faith and this quote seems to be referencing that. The fact remains that Hitler like Trump used Christianity to get support for his agenda and his Christian quotes used in his speeches are all well documented here: . http://scienceblogs.com... I did not claim Hitler or Trump were/are good Christians and the evidence shows both only use religion when it suits there needs to get support. Trump supported abortion and gay marriage at one time which would be against the orthodox Christian beliefs. Therefore, Con's argument only confirms that Hitler and Trump used Christianity to garner support for their agenda and neither had any real depth to their religious convictions. That is evidence that both Trump and Hitler were/are religious bigots as both have used religion as an excuse for their hate rhetoric towards other religions. POINT 2-Con is attempting to show personality and psychological traits of Hitler does not match Trump. A Psycho-Historical Analysis of Adolf Hitler "Adolf Hitler suffered from a multitude of sever psychological disorders including paranoid schizophrenia and narcissistic personality disorder. " . http://www.psychologyandsociety.org... Therapists Confirm Trump's Narcissistic Personality Disorder "For mental-health professionals, Donald Trump is at once easily diagnosed but slightly confounding. "Remarkably narcissistic," said developmental psychologist Howard Gardner, a professor at Harvard Graduate School of Education. "Textbook narcissistic personality disorder," echoed clinical psychologist Ben Michaelis. "He"s so classic that I"m archiving video clips of him to use in workshops because there"s no better example of his characteristics," said clinical psychologist George Simon, who conducts lectures and seminars on manipulative behavior. "Otherwise, I would have had to hire actors and write vignettes. He"s like a dream come true. " . http://www.vanityfair.com... That is three very respected Psychologists that confirm that Trump suffers from the same mental- personality disorder that Hitler suffered from. Point 3- Con claims that Hitler's agenda was a result of drug abuse and Trump does not use drugs. I refer back to point 2 that shows Hitler and Trump both suffer from Narcissistic Personality disorder. Hitler may have also had drug issues and Con's only evidence that Trump does not have a drug issue is trump's own word. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION The topic for this debate was to determine if Trump is using a Hitler strategy. The evidence I have presented is in the form of Trump's own quotes and his actions of using hate speech, racism, bigotry and zealotry to gain support for his agenda and that agenda appears to be fascist in nature and follows a similar agenda of Hitler to create false enemies to blame for the problems of the country/world. Con has attempted to claim that because Trump has said he loves Muslims after he was berated in the media and because Trump has not yet committed the atrocities Hitler committed then Trump can not be following a Hitler strategy. I have countered all of Cons points with verifiable evidence including quotes from his friends, from his own website, and the analysis of psychologists that have studied Trump in depth. I believe the only conclusion that any reasonable person can make is that Trump is indeed using a Hitler strategy. That is not to say Trump is Hitler or that Trump will go to the extremes that Hitler did if elected. In fact it would be difficult for Trump to go to those extremes because we are aware of Hitler and his outcomes and we have a constitution and government that would not allow a dictator to be in power for long. However, I believe Trump is showing a strong ability to garner support for a negative agenda that could cause serious harm to Muslims, Mexican immigrants, Gays, the disabled and anyone that stands in Trump's way and that should be very concerning for all Americans. Hitler was only able to gain power because he pandered to the base instincts and was able to make it seem OK for people to do horrible things because the means justified the end. The result of Hitler's ability to get Germans support for his agenda was the death of over 6 millions Jews and unknown numbers of other deaths, torture and degradement of people. Hitler's wars killed scores of innocent people and had it been successful it is likely most of us would not be alive today. In conclusion I state that this debate has shown that Trump is using a Hitler strategy as the evidence shows and therefore I ask voters to vote for the Pro position in this debate. Before voting please take the time to read the entire debate Rounds and look at the links so you are basing your vote on the substance and not a personal or political bias.
