Poor Mike Godwin. Godwin is the creator of “Godwin’s Law.” It started as a guide to online discussions, making it clear that the longer a debate went on, the more likely someone was to invoke Hitler or Nazis. The rule grew to include the idea that such a statement ended the debate and the first person to Hitler lost.
Fast forward to 2017 and politics looks like a Producers casting session, with the singing Hitlers in one conversation and the dancing Hitlers in another. (If you were unfortunate enough to see the Mel Brooks remake, I feel sorry for you. Go watch the original.)
Everybody is Hitler. Well, not everybody. It’s Trump. Everybody in the media and on the left are saying Trump is Hitler. (Yes, sometimes on the right as well, but not with the same numbers.) The left thinks calling someone a Nazi, or racist, or Islamophobic, are trump cards. Mic dropping moments where all debate ends.
