Babylon Bee savages those leftists who keep likening Trump and MAGA to Hitler
By Andrea Widburg
I often say that my generation—the Baby Boomers, especially the Jewish ones—grew up in the shadow of the Holocaust, because all the adults in our world had been affected by it or at least by WWII. That’s why it’s so utterly infuriating to see the Democrats accuse Trump and his MAGA supporters of being a cadre of Hitlers and using all sorts of Holocaust imagery to attack Trump’s enforcing long-standing American law to repatriate illegal aliens.
I was born 16 years after WWII’s end. Every adult in my world had been touched by it. My father was a refugee. His mother’s family in Germany and his father’s family in Poland had mostly been wiped out in the Holocaust, although his immediate family had survived. My mother had spent the war years in a Japanese concentration camp.
My mother’s best friend fled with her family from Poland to India. Her husband, an American, landed at Normandy and fought at the Battle of the Bulge. Another friend talked Mengele out of sending her to the gas chamber, while her brother-in-law married the Christian shop girl who tried to save his Jewish parents when they were sent to Dachau. One of our more memorable dinner guests escaped from a death camp by hiding under a stack of corpses.
Let me say that I take the Nazis, WWII, and the Holocaust very, very seriously. I know the history—what led up to it, what happened during it, and what happened after it. And I know that repatriating to their homelands millions of people who illegally entered America is not a Holocaust. It is, instead, enforcing American law. The American president and the federal employees who carry out this law—a law all nations need if they are to have a meaningful border and, therefore, exist as a country—are not Nazis.
Likewise, temporarily housing people in air-conditioned tents, with flush toilets, potable water, mattresses, edible food, electricity, medical care, and, probably other amenities before returning them to their home countries is nothing like Auschwitz.
