Democrats Fall For Hollywood Delusions—Trump Fantasies Go Too Far

New Africa

A dangerous new wave of Trump derangement is sweeping across the left, and the latest examples show just how far Democrats are willing to go with their political fantasies. From comparing today’s America to Nazi Germany to invoking dystopian TV shows, their rhetoric is becoming more extreme by the day.

Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett was one of the first to weigh in, saying Trump’s crime crackdown in Washington, D.C. reminded her of living inside “The Handmaid’s Tale.” She admitted she couldn’t even finish the series anymore because, in her view, the militarization of the city under Trump made it feel too real.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, meanwhile, went even further. Pritzker, who once built a Holocaust museum, claimed America is now dangerously close to Nazi Germany. “It doesn’t take very long to tear apart a constitutional republic,” he said, adding that Nazi Germany did it in just 53 days and that our democracy is just as fragile. His comments left many stunned, as he openly equated Trump’s leadership to the rise of Hitler.

Stacey Abrams, never one to shy away from dramatic language, joined the pile-on with strange remarks about Trump’s power, calling him something akin to a “grand ayatollah” who could anoint prophets to carry out his agenda. Her comments only added fuel to an already overheated narrative that portrays Trump as some kind of authoritarian figure out of a fantasy novel.

And then there was former Obama aide Susan Rice, still clinging to the debunked Russia narrative. On MSNBC, Rice insisted it was “clearly and repeatedly established” that Russia interfered in the 2016 election on Trump’s behalf, despite years of reports showing the story was inflated and politically manipulated. Conservative commentators quickly pointed out that Rice herself was at the center of the Russiagate mess, making her insistence on reviving it all the more audacious.

Glenn Beck, reacting to these claims, argued that Democrats have created a “fantasy world” where Trump is simultaneously a dictator, a religious figure, and a Russian puppet. “They were part of the conspiracy, part of writing the documents, part of making it all up,” Beck said, pointing to evidence showing how figures like Rice were involved in pushing the Russia hoax from the beginning.

What’s clear is that Democrats are becoming increasingly desperate in their language, throwing around extreme comparisons instead of engaging in real debate over policy. Whether it’s likening Trump to Hitler, turning D.C. into a dystopian TV set, or dragging up old conspiracies, the left appears intent on painting the president as something other than what he is.

The result is a political conversation that sounds less like reality and more like bad fiction. And with Democrats escalating their attacks to this level, it raises the question of just how far they’ll go in their quest to undermine Trump—and how much the American people are buying it.

At the end of the day, these wild comparisons may say more about the state of the Democratic Party than they do about Trump. Instead of focusing on solutions or defining what they stand for, leading Democrats are resorting to hyperbole and fearmongering. And if history is any guide, the more outrageous the claims get, the less serious they appear to the voters they’re trying to win over.
