In the ultimate dumbest attempt at an ‘own’, the Washington Post dug up Mike Godwin, the guy whose name was given to ‘Godwin’s Law’, which states that every argument will eventually end with accusations that the other side is literally Hitler, to argue that it’s okay to call Trump ‘Hitler’.
Mike Godwin is a leftist with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which used to be a defender of free speech until it became a generic leftist lobby, has already argued numerous times before that it’s okay to call conservatives ‘Nazis’.
The Washington Post is treating Godwin saying this as a major story when it ran nearly the same exact op-ed by him in 2015, “Sure, call Trump a Nazi. Just make sure you know what you’re talking about.”
In breaking news from 2023, Godwin still thinks people he doesn’t like are Nazis 8 years later.
Coining a widely circulated meme that treats accusations of Hitler as a fallacy does not make you immune to it or above it or an authority on it.
Some people indeed are Nazis. Like actual Nazis who do still exist today. Also organizations dedicated to exterminating their racial and religious enemies, like Hamas.
And then there’s the entire lazy habit of calling people you don’t like Nazis as a casual cultural reflex to demonize them. It’s not hard to spot which school of thought Mike belongs to.
This "Volume Two" is the second half of a single collection of speeches, by all accounts a historically accurate translation, first published in 1941. Obviously needed an updated cover design when this volume was published in paperback in 2016. pic.twitter.com/ver9P7SEE9

But invariably everyone eventually runs afoul of Godwin’s Law. And in a way that’s a good thing.
In an age where any agreed-upon definition of good and evil is faltering, at least most of us (70% or so) can sorta agree that Hitler and the Nazis were bad.
For now.
As long as we explain that Hitler learned much thuggery and diabolical assaults on the innocent
from watching how Democrats treated blacks in the USA. Hitler and Democrats enjoyed
mutual admiration. Like the KKK. Democrats were proud members, but when useful they
blame Republicans for the KKK. Whatever propaganda works.
Adolph was a big fan of the Dirtbagocrat party.
Nice use of sorta and 70%. accurate
Numbers that would sound ridiculous 10 years ago, but now we see brown shirts marching in the streets and on campuses. Unsafe for Jews in everyday life.
Diversity is our blessing..
Mein Kampf is full of pathetic logical flaws, like universal generalization from one particular instance.
As soon as I see he/him I start to disregard the content.
Godwin is a typical left-wing moron. Conservatives are Jew hating socialists who’ve socialized industry, banks, agriculture, medicine, movies, Churches and even art?
DERP.
If a candidate who shares Hitlers views were to emerge today, he would be a Dirtbagocrat.
When I hear a left winger compare somebody to Hitler, may his name be erased, I know that somebody is doing something right. When you hear a left winger call someone a racist, it’s a pretty sure bet that someone is good for Blacks
