Reaching, just a tad…

Just a day after comparing supporters of President-elect Donald Trump to Nazi fanatics, leftist Salon magazine is now drawing parallels between Trump’s private security — or “goon squad,” as Salon puts it — and and the SS, Adolf Hitler’s infamous paramilitary force that was cited as a criminal organization by the Allies after the Second World War.
“There are historical parallels that make people very uncomfortable. … We now have Trump supporters hurling the Nazi word Lügenpresse (German for ‘lying press’) at the media at rallies, with Newt Gingrich giving seminars on how to smooth out the rough edges of the fascist rhetoric so Americans can feel comfortable only believing what they’re told by their own leadership,” Salon’s Heather Digby Parton wrote Tuesday. “This private security service, and its function as a suppressor of dissent is reminiscent of the same period. Obviously, it’s nothing like what the SS later became, but its origins are similar enough to make one feel nervous.”
