Stop Abusing World War II History to Bash Trump
3rd March 2025
For a time when millennials were coming of political age, the Harry Potter comparisons were repeated ad nauseum. The eventual response to Harry Potter analogies eventually just became, “read another book” and eventually the comparisons died down.
And that’s what I’m saying now. Pick another event in history besides World War II, please.
It isn’t always Munich in 1938. Not every politician you don’t like is Hitler. Not every aggressive foreign power is the Third Reich. And not every attempt at peace is Neville Chamberlain-like “appeasement.”
And if you are going to go with a World War II history analogy, at least get the facts straight.
