Nazi name-calling

In response to a recent letter (“Dems convinced me,” Steve Brixen, March 11), there is no disagreement that Rep. Hank Johnson compared Trump to Hitler.

However, the writer should be reminded of a few other “Nazi name calling” incidents, specifically, the film titled “Death of a Nation” from Dinesh D’Souza, the conservative provocateur pardoned by Trump in 2018 that says that the modern-day Democratic Party is composed of Nazis, racists and fascists.

Further, Donald Trump Jr., in an interview with One America on August 1, 2018, likens the Democrats to the Nazi platform from the early 1930s.

My point is that there is more than enough name calling on both sides of the political spectrum and I, for one, will not decide my future vote until I examine all sides. Additionally, I don’t recall Obama being accepted as a “narcissistic, lying egomaniac” as Trump is today, even by his most ardent fans.
