Playing the Nazi card went from repertoire to de rigueur in the Trump era.
Democrats normalize it to bring down the unorthodox Commander-in-Chief. Comedian Louis CK started the trend unofficially, compare Donald Trump to Hitler months before the real estate mogul’s 2016 victory over Hillary Clinton.
One Democratic Contributor followed, from Hollywood elites and political pundits to major news organizations.
And few, if any, grip their pearls by comparison.
However, when actress Gina Carano compare Germany in the 1930s with modern America The reaction demonstrates hyperbola. Her Disney bosses called the “The Mandalorian” star on social media posting “disgusting and unacceptable” posts and fired her.
Carano lost her talent agency, UTA, and her career future looked bleak before The Daily Wire hired her to produce and star in “”Terror on the Prairie.“
With the exception of Carano who didn’t play Nazi cards like her peers, none of them received the slightest punishment for their comments.
Carano does not label any politician, Left or Right, Hitler or Nazi. She worries that conservatives and liberals are both treated as “other” in Western culture, and she fears what might happen next.
“Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors…. even by children. Because history is edited, most people today don’t realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily arrest thousands of Jews, the first government made the Their neighbors hate them just because they are Jewish. Is that any different than hating someone for their political views? “
Her post was more nuanced and empathetic than her peers calling Trump supporters Nazis.
However, even some conservatives objected to her evoking Nazi Germany.
Carano, currently starring in “my son hunter,“Make those comments February 2021. The America she describes is getting closer to reality less than two years later.
This is President Joe Biden, in a landmark September 1 speech addressing the soul of the nation, describing people who don’t fit his party’s worldview.
“So much of what is happening in our country today is not normal… Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens our own republic…
“There is no question that the Republican Party today is dominated, driven, and threatened by Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans. And that’s a threat to this country… MAGA Republicans have made their choice. They hold grudges. They thrive on chaos. They do not live in the light of truth, but in the darkness of lies. Together, we can choose a different path.”
Biden uttered those words in front of a blood-red background that countless social media users compared to Nazi Germany.

This is not a Hollywood liberal or MSNBC host sifting through changes in modern GOP. The Commander-in-Chief used the full power of his bully podium to get the other “half” of the population to vote.
The MAGA nation is a threat to America. Stage = Stage.
Biden’s rhetoric, which he clumsily trying to walk 24 hours later, does not happen in a vacuum. MSNBC commentators, who cheered Biden’s speech, often described Trump voters in a dehumanizing fashion.
Similarly, popular culture treats conservatives as “others,” people who are fired or worse. The Hollywood Blacklist 2.0 is very real, and new evidence its appear frequently.
Right-wing actors have remained silent, fearing their careers might collapse because of sharing conservative views. Their liberal counterparts never defended their freedom of speech. Not Clooney, Hanks, Streep or DiCaprio.
Even stories related to popular culture reinforce Carano’s point of view.
“Euphoria” actress Sydney Sweeney had to do damage control as social media users ravaged her family for being potentially conservative. The star’s mother celebrated her 60th birthday at a party where a family member wore a “Blue Lives Matter” shirt in support of the police officers.
Sydney Sweeney fans are expressing their disappointment and shock that her family seems conservative, this after she posted photos and videos from a gown themed party for her mother. , Lisa. https://t.co/eY2N9p4WFg

Even “more horrifying?” Attendees wore “Make 60 Great Again” hats, a jaunty quote about President Trump’s MAGA catchphrase.
The social media crowd tried to unseat Sweeney, who tenderly asked fans not to hint at her family’s political choices. She does not defend their right to align with conservatives. That could make matters worse, and the 24-year-old knows better.

Big technology is promote the truth about society, Donald Trump’s attempt to build a Twitter alternative won’t punish conservatives. That comes after a number of tech giants, including Amazon, similarly Twitter is punished to replace Parler last year.
That platform also refuses to punish conservative ideology.
Only one Opposing views on COVID-19 or even Dr. Anthony Fauci? Chances are the Biden administration will try to remove it from the public square. Those views often come from conservative Americans, a group frequently subjected to censorship efforts by Twitter and other platforms.
Even conservative comedians living under the Big Tech startup.

Perhaps the worst example exaggerated Carano’s point? A famous conservative is being attacked for…existence.
Ben Shapiro stopped by Podcast Movement’s annual convention late last month to meet fans and visit Daily Wire staff. The event showcases the biggest podcasts in the country, including the hugely popular Shapiro show.
Shapiro’s presence at the event was convincing The Brains of the Podcast Movement Trust to Apologize for those activated by his appearance.
“Hello friends, we owe you an apology before the sessions begin for the day… Yesterday afternoon, Ben Shapiro briefly visited the PM22 exhibition area near The Daily Wire booth. Although he is not registered or expected, we are solely responsible for the damage caused by his presence. “
Those of you who call this “unacceptable” are right. In 9 wonderful years of developing and celebrating this vehicle, PM has made a mistake. The pain caused by this person will always follow us. We promise that sponsors will be more carefully considered in the future. “
Shapiro didn’t say anything outrageous during his time at the event. He took pictures with fans and walked around the hall.
That’s it.
He’s not a character like Alex Jones spreading baseless conspiracy theories. He is an intelligent, conservative orthodox with a large and reasonable amount. And, according to the Podcast Movement, Jewish intellectuals can do harm just by appearing.
What is the next logical step for that kind of thinking?
Much hate on social media aimed at about half the country? Or does that ginned-up rage need a physical outlet?
We’ve seen Trump supporters targeted for violence, conservative Supreme Court justices endure vulgar protests outside their homes and a justice faces a literal death threat.
That’s all before Biden proposes that half the country represents an existential threat to the US
This isn’t circa 1930s Germany, thank goodness, but it’s closer than many people think. At least someone deserves a belated apology.
However, it cannot be done via Twitter. Carano’s Twitter account has been disabled in the last 24 hours.
