Hello, fellow kids. Do you know what's hip and edgy? Calling Donald Trump Hitler.

*tries kickflip* *falls* *limps away carrying skateboard*

I don't have any evidence that this actually happened, but I imagine that's what it sounded like when The New Republic pitched it's cover to the art department.

Or maybe it went something like this: Do you know what no one has ever done? Compared Donald Trump to Hitler. Mm. Sounds good. Let's do that.

Trump Derangement Syndrome is a very real disorder, folks, that is afflicting 81 million Americans (realistically, probably more like 68 million).

TNR suggests taking you through the "nine or 17 points that define fascism." Which is it? Nine or 17? Well, never mind all that because, instead of trying to define the nebulous nature of fascism, they decided to go with a series of opinion pieces.

One of the opinion pieces asks you to "Imagine, on the day of Donald Trump's inauguration, a raucous protest by left-wing groups on the streets of north Lafayette Park."

Imagine? Why imagine when we can look back to the left-wing riots of 2020? Remember the George Floyd riots? To this day, Google tries to autocorrect it to 'protests.' You have to go to the BBC to see even a smidgen of honest journalism and that's saying something.

TNR's opinion piece goes on to claim that Trump and pro-MAGA social media will take the clips out of context and use them to implicate the press as complicit in these (fictional) left-wing riots.

Excuse me. I think the word you're looking for is "cheap fakes."

I must apologize, readers, as I am now being informed that "cheap fakes" is not a real term but is actually a phrase coined by White House Press Secretary Karinne Jean-Pierre in an attempt to delegitimize the evidence of Joe Biden's mental decline. I'm sorry.

This idiotic and unhinged piece of leftist fan fiction is by none other than our favorite fired-from-CNN "journalist" Brian Stelter.

That's right, dear reader. Without a TV show, Stelter has been reduced to writing fascistic fan fiction where journalists are not the heroes we deserve, but the heroes we need. He is Batman now.

This isn't the first time Stelter has been living in a fictional world of his own creation. Remember when he defended Jussie Smollet for an uncomfortable amount of time? Remember when he spent his evenings crying about Covid? Let's take a walk down Brian Stelter memory lane:

I'm not going to read the other TNR opinion pieces and neither should you. I mean, I know they make a big deal about Trump calling the press "the enemy of the people." With opinion pieces like these, I'm not sure I disagree.

As a special treat for you, I went back and found Time to Close for Brian. It's more worth your time. Enjoy.

Here's the source link for The New Republic piece. I didn't put it up higher because I didn't want you to click on it by accident. So, if you're really, REALLY sure you want to read Brian Stelter's fascist fan fiction, you can read the ironically titled "Revenge and Freedom From Fact: On the media in fascist America. What you can never say is that I didn't warn you.
