President Donald Trump's eldest son said the platform of the Democratic Party is similar to that of the Nazi Party in Germany during the early 1930s and that history classes are biased against conservatives.
In a video posted Thursday by the pro-Trump One America News Network, Jack Posobiec -- a prominent right-wing voice online who supported the Pizzagate hoax -- spoke with Donald Trump Jr., who compared the present-day Democratic Party to Nazis and disparaged history taught by academics.
"I've been out hearing the left talking about all these things, fascism, Nazism on the right," Trump Jr. said. "And when you look at the actual history of how these things evolved, and when you actually look at that platform versus the platform of the modern left, you say wait a minute, those two are really heavily aligned and, frankly, contrary to the right."

I'm sure Jr's future cellmate will be fascinated by this.

(10,252 posts)and precisely which actual history might that be? Did you notice how he doesn't cite any specific history? So let me give the liberal poiont of view on what Don Jr said.
When you look at the actual history of how the Trump family evolved, it's clear that their brains never evolved past the lizard brain stage.
