Today we remember those who died in defense of our country. During World War II, 400,000 Americans died defending this nation from the scourge of Adolf Hitler, the Nazi's and the Axis Powers. Hitler was infamous for his dangerous rhetoric. Listen closely, words matter:
1935
Jewish people referred to as “parasites”; “people who can sneak their way, like parasites, into the human body politic, dehumanizing terms like "vermin," and "bacillus" to describe Jews.
Hitler’s rhetorical strategy: the rhetorical use of repetition, stating that the “repetition of fear-arousing messages, supported by a variety of information sources in addition to the speaker, strengthens the impact of his message”
2025
“MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN”
“Lock Her Up!”
“corrupt”, “nasty”, “failing”, as well as “bimbo”, “stupid” and “unattractive” when referring to women, “loser”, “corrupt”, “crooked” to refer to people he deemed opponents or enemies.
Immigration: "No, they’re not humans, they’re not humans. They’re animals.”
Political opponents are "vermin" and immigration
is "poisoning the blood" of the U.S.
