As Donald Trump continues to climb in the polls, Democrats are reaching deep into their bag of insults, pulling out the same tired rhetoric that’s been thrown at him for years. They’ve gone beyond the usual critiques and are now playing what might be the oldest card in their playbook: comparing Trump to Hitler.
Yes, you read that right. With Vice President Kamala Harris lagging behind, their desperation is becoming more obvious by the day. They’re ramping up the rhetoric, perhaps knowing in their hearts that a Harris victory is looking slim.
These comparisons? They aren’t new. We’ve seen this movie before. Every time Trump rises, so does the rhetoric from the left. And yet, Americans aren’t buying it. The comparisons to fascism and dictatorship haven’t stuck because the reality of Trump’s presidency didn’t reflect those labels.
It’s almost as if they’re hoping voters have forgotten what the last four years looked like. But as one sharp Trump supporter recently put it, “If they’re resorting to name-calling, it’s because they’re fresh out of ideas.”
Gov. Ron DeSantis said Democrats are playing a “dangerous game” by using divisive language about former President Donald Trump during an appearance on “Jesse Watters Primetime” Wednesday night.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis spoke out on “Jesse Watters Primetime” to condemn the divisive language used by Democratic leaders. He didn’t hold back, calling the strategy a “dangerous game” that only deepens the divide in America.
DeSantis highlighted Vice President Harris’s recent remarks at a Wisconsin rally, where she referred to Trump as a “fascist leader.” He went on to call out others in the Democratic Party, as well as certain media figures, for stoking fear with comparisons between Trump and Hitler.
“He was president for four years, guys. People can watch and see what happened. I didn’t see that happen in those four years,” DeSantis pointed out. For the Florida governor, these comparisons aren’t just baseless — they’re stirring up unnecessary tension.
“If they’re convincing you as a voter that American democracy will end if Donald Trump is president, you can see why we have some of the problems that we do,” he explained.
DeSantis didn’t mince words on what he believes is motivating these attacks. He called it “desperation” — a last-ditch effort by the Democrats to rile up their base as the polls lean toward Trump.
“They’re hoping that calling him a fascist will turn people away, but it’s just insulting to the American people’s intelligence,” he said. It’s as if Democrats have realized that their policies and campaign promises aren’t enough to win hearts. So, they turn to insults.
DeSantis isn’t alone in feeling this way. Many Americans who watched Trump’s presidency firsthand know that these comparisons are absurd. While the left insists on using the “fascist” label, it’s clear this language is alienating more than it’s persuading.
In a climate where Americans are yearning for unity, divisive rhetoric only fuels the flames of division. For DeSantis, this is nothing more than a reflection of how far the left is willing to go — even if it means stirring up resentment.
