I have written about this before, but I thought I'll write about it again, because it's just getting so utterly tiresome.
A bit prior to Trump's first presidency the American left just kept repeating over, and over, and over, non-stop, that Trump is "racist", and "a dictator", and a myriad of other accusations. They just kept repeating it over and over, trying to make it true via sheer repetition.
There are myriads of videos out there from that time where someone asks a protestor when he has ever said anything racist, and the only answer that they could ever give is that he's constantly saying racist things. However, when pressed to give even one single example, they can't. One would think that if he is indeed constantly saying racist things, they could give plenty of examples. Or at least one example. Yet they just can't.
The entire characterization of the American left that Trump is some kind of "dictator", or even that's he's somehow childish and petulant, and pretty much every single one of the myriads of accusations against him, has been completely pulled out of thin air. Out of literally nothing.
There's nothing in Trump's past that would indicate him being some kind of "next Hitler". I have literally never, not once, hear them explain what they are basing these accusations on. I'm not exaggerating or twisting, it's literally true: Not even once have I heard them explaining why they think he is like that. Not once. He just is, because they say so, period. They don't need to explain it. They don't need to point to evidence from his past. It's true because they say it's true, no other evidence needed.
And that's not for the lack of trying. They have grasped at every single straw that they could find, in order to claim how he's a "dictator" and "worse than Hitler". They have thrown ridiculous lawsuits at him literally by the hundreds, trying to find something. Anything at all. The best they could muster was some kind of claimed undervaluation of some property of his, or something like that (even though legal experts have said multiple times that there's nothing illegal about it, and is normal practice.) In another flurry of lawsuits, as incredible as it might sound, the prosecution couldn't even tell what the actual tangible crime was, yet they were still suing him for it. (Rather obviously in a normal situation this would have been immediate grounds for dismissal, as that's one of the core reason to dismiss a case: If the prosecution cannot name the actual crime. But since this case was tried in New York, and the judges of that state are completely corrupt, incredibly it was allowed to proceed anyway. An absolute kangaroo court.)
The funny thing is that the things that the Trump administration is currently doing, which the American leftists are throwing a complete hissy fit about, are things that the Democratic Party itself advocated for in the past.
Indeed, and quite ironically, you can find a speech of Bill Clinton, when he was President, where he announced hundreds of millions of savings from cutting wasteful governmental spending and tens of thousands of federal employees being fired. To the applause of the Democrat Party representatives.
Likewise you can find speeches from both Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi about, of all things, reciprocate tariffs, and how unfair it is that other countries have significantly bigger tariffs for US exports than the US has for imports from those countries. Very clearly and explicitly.
The vast, vast majority of American leftists protesting the Trump administration for those things have absolutely no idea about those speeches. And even the microscopic minority that does, doesn't care. It's now bad because Orange Man Bad.
They want so badly for Trump to be a dictator that they will do anything to make that happen. It doesn't matter if they can't find any evidence for it, they just pretend that it is there. It doesn't matter if he is doing the exact same things that their own party had done in the past, they just completely ignore that and pretend that now it's a bad oppressive totalitarian thing.
Moreover, they not only are saying that the US will become a dictatorship under Trump. They are saying that the US is already a dictatorship under Trump. You can find thousands and thousands of such comments online, repeated over and over. And based on what? Absolutely nothing.
They have been going on like this for over 8 years now, non-stop, every single day, pushing and pushing the same narrative, creating a "dictator" out of thing air based on absolutely nothing. And they will keep doing this for the next four years and longer. And when in the end it turns out that none of their predictions about Trump came true, they don't care: They will still keep pretending like they were completely right. They literally do not care about actual evidence, actual facts. The only thing they care about is their narrative, ignoring everything else.
It's getting really tiresome.
