Maureen Callahan For DailyMail.Com Days to go and there's only one argument Kamala Harris — and her minions in the media — can make: Trump is Hitler. Or Mussolini, or Stalin, or Pol Pot — take your pick. If Trump gets elected, he's building concentration camps, ripping up the Constitution, sending the military to arrest his political enemies — hell, anyone who didn't vote for him — hosting Putin and Xi in the Lincoln bedroom, burning the country down and throwing Rachel Maddow in jail. Well, most of us could get behind that last one. Here's what Maddow said about Trump voters at a Brooklyn forum in September: 'I believe that humans can change and that redemption is possible… I am always hopeful.' And the left wonders why so many find them to be supercilious and condescending. If Kamala were smart, she'd do what Obama did and reach out to, rather than demonize, those who disagree. But she's not smart. This, we know. During her disastrous town hall on CNN Wednesday night, she gave only one clear and succinct answer. 'Do you think,' host Anderson Cooper asked, 'Donald Trump is a fascist?' 'Yes I do,' Kamala said. 'Yes I do.' You could see it in her eyes: She thought this was her mic-drop moment. But no one in the audience — composed largely of voters, Cooper said, inclined to vote for her anyway — clapped or responded in kind. The campaign of 'joy' and 'vibes' has gone quite dark indeed. Trump-as- Hitler is the left's new talking point, uttered with grave seriousness to voters still too stupid, ignorant, racist or xenophobic to get it, apparently. Despite having a Jewish daughter and Jewish grandchildren, Trump is a Nazi. His upcoming rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday? Nazi rally. His stalwart, full-throated defense of Israel? Best left undiscussed. Ex-Trump Chief-of-Staff John Kelly's four-year-old claim that the former president admired Hitler — disinterred by The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg and denied by a Trump spokesperson — is also making the rounds, though it begs the question: If Kelly believed Trump was such a Hitler acolyte, why didn't he resign right then? Why not sound the alarm when it really mattered? Could Kelly, who was fired by Trump, be seeking revenge? Nick Ayers, former chief of staff to Trump's former VP Mike Pence, wrote on X that Kelly's claims are 'patently false'. The media is ignoring that. The Nazi drumbeat, it seems, will go through Election Day and, if he wins, well beyond. Sometimes, though, the mask slips. Take this exchange between MSNBC's Jen Psaki, getting hysterical – in both senses of the word — with top Dem strategist James Carville last week. Psaki: 'It seems like you're saying we should go back to scaring people, because that's what they need to hear?' Carville: 'Yep.' There it is: The quiet part said out loud. No serious person really believes Trump is a threat to democracy — not least when you hear it from a party that staged an internal palace coup and put forward a nominee who hadn't earned a single vote. Bret Stephens, columnist for the New York Times, wrote about the left's misguided Trump-fascist ploy two days ago: 'Aside from being gratuitous and self-defeating — what kind of voter is going to be won over by being called a name? — it's also mostly wrong.' Stephens is one of the Times' token conservatives, but somehow he got this past America's wokest newsroom. Even Democratic senators up for re-election in the swing states of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Wisconsin are running ads touting their ability to work with Donald Trump. Here's the thing: People can't be just a little bit fascist or a little bit racist. So make no mistake: Leftist elites are laughing at the poor saps who believe this stuff
