Donald Trump is Using a Hitler Strategy

The debate question is: Do you believe Donald Trump is deliberately using a strategy similar to what Hitler used to gain support from Germans that resulted in the deliberate murder of over 6 million Jews, wars against weaker countries and promoted fascism. I will be arguing the pro side to show evidence that Donald Trump is deliberately using the Hitler strategy. Rules: 1- Stick to the subject of Donald Trump and Hitler. 2- Use Historical context. 3- Link to credible sources. 4- No racist and/or immature insults allowed. Argument: I contend that Donald Trump is deliberately using a Hitler strategy that is based on using people's fear and anger to create an enemy that they can then blame for all the problems in their country and the world. The enemies Trump is creating to focus his supporters attention on are Hispanic illegals, Muslims, and Liberals in general. He has also focused on the disabled people, Veterans, the media, and people not of the Christian faith. Trump's agenda appears to be Fascist: fas"cism: "an authoritarian and nationalistic right-wing system of government and social organization. synonyms:authoritarianism, totalitarianism, dictatorship, despotism, autocracy; (in general use) extreme right-wing, authoritarian, or intolerant views or practice. Evidence: 1- Trump has admitted to having copies of Hitler speeches and his former wife Ivana Trump has said he kept them by his bedside stand to read. http://www.businessinsider.com... 2- Trump uses derogatory, racist, and bigoted language in his speeches directed to deliberately create an enemy of a group of people. "When Mexico sends its people, they"re not sending their best. They"re not sending you. They"re not sending you. They"re sending people that have lots of problems, and they"re bringing those problems with us. They"re bringing drugs. They"re bringing crime. They"re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people." -Trump, June 2015 "I watched in Jersey City, N.J., where thousands and thousands of people were cheering" as the World Trade Center collapsed. "I want surveillance. I will absolutely take (a) database on the people coming in from Syria. "If we can't stop it -- but we are going to if I win -- they're going back." "We're going to have to do things that we never did before. And some people are going to be upset about it, but I think that now everybody is feeling that security is going to rule," he told Yahoo News. "And certain things will be done that we never thought would happen in this country in terms of information and learning about the enemy. And so we're going to have to do certain things that were frankly unthinkable a year ago." "You're going to have a deportation force, and you're going to do it humanely," 3- Trump is deliberately using Christianity as support for his agenda "I promise you I will do such a good job. First of all, I am a great Christian "- and I am "- I am. Remember that. And I do well with the evangelicals. But the evangelicals left me down a little bit this last month. I don't know what I did. But I am a great Christian." Historical Context: Hitler served in the German Military in WW1 and after the Germans were defeated and the Treaty of Versailles' left Germany in economic debt and disarray Hitler formed a group of dissidents and began using speeches built around Nationalist identity, race identity, religious identity and used the existing fear and anger of the German people to create a common enemy to blame for all of their problems. Hitler focused on the Jews at first and then expanded his hate rhetoric to include anyone not of direct German (Aryan) descent, disabled people, homosexuals, non-Christians and liberal educators. Evidence: "I believe today that I am acting in the sense of the Almighty Creator. By warding off the Jews I am fighting for the Lord"s work." [Adolph Hitler, Speech, Reichstag, 1936] "Today Christians " stand at the head of [this country]" I pledge that I never will tie myself to parties who want to destroy Christianity .. We want to fill our culture again with the Christian spirit " We want to burn out all the recent immoral developments in literature, in the theater, and in the press " in short, we want to burn out the *poison of immorality* which has entered into our whole life and culture as a result of *liberal excess* during the past " (few) years." [The Speeches of Adolph Hitler, 1922-1939, "...the personification of the devil as the symbol of all evil assumes the living shape of the Jew." - Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf ". . . the discovery of the Jewish virus is one of the greatest revolutions that has taken place in the world. The battle in which we are engaged today is of the same sort as the battle waged, during the last century, by Pasteur and Koch. How many diseases have their origin in the Jewish virus! ... We shall regain our health only be eliminating the Jew." - Adolf Hitler (quoted in Burleigh and Wippermann Woman's world is her husband, her family, her children and her home. We do not find it right when she presses into the world of men. - Adolf Hitler "Liberalism is a disease of the mind that weakens and corrupts human beings." Adolf Hitler, 1939 Summary: I believe Donald Trump has studied the speeches and hate rhetoric of Hitler and is deliberately employing a Hitler strategy to create a common enemy and to build up hatred and anger in his supporters that could lead to the same results that were seen under the Hitler regime. Trump's speeches, rhetoric, tweets, and use of lies and white supremacist charts and other devices are all evidece of that agenda. Trump's quotes could be taken directly from a Hitler speech. I am not the only one that sees this Hitler agenda in Trump and he has been called a fascist and Hitler supporter by Historians, scholars and even members of his own party. Let the debate begin!
