Matthew Dowd reminds Americans that Hitler was also against inflation, and we all know how *that* turned out

Matthew Dowd’s dream of becoming Texas’ next lieutenant governor may have been dashed to teeny-tiny microscopic little bits, but he is nothing if not resilient. And brave. Boy, is he brave. No matter how many times he makes a complete and utter ass of himself, he gets right back up and comes back for more.

Dowd has been a huge fan of President Joe Biden’s body of work, and yesterday, he took to Twitter to defend Biden’s honor by reminding all the haters why they need to cool it with all their whining about inflation. You see, the whining can lead to some things far, far worse than inflation:

I will remind folks again that Hitler rose to power with 1/3 of voters in Germany with a message on inflation, etc. The voters in Germany, as well as the media and many politicians, paid attention too late to the threat he was to their democracy.

If you’re concerned about inflation, you’re paving the way for another Hitler.

Thud.

When even Chris Cillizza is cringing, you know you’ve gone too far.

Putting aside this isn’t even true, the laziest, most intellectually pathetic form of argument is claiming someone bad also spoke against something bad, which inflation is. https://t.co/JbnY0ZdbMr

I will remind folks again that if you find yourself making a Hitler analogy about U.S. politics, or nodding your head in approval along to someone else making a Hitler analogy about U.S. politics, you really screwed up somewhere along the way. https://t.co/JqDbhDwv2C

Matthew Dowd has actually screwed up a number of places along the way. It’s kinda his thing.

"Hitler was also against inflation" is a new take, I suppose

A disturbingly popular one among stupid people, as it turns out:

"Ya know, Hitler thought inflation was bad too."

Embarrassing.

Turns out Hitler was also an anti-Zionist vegan socialist art student who loved street demonstrations, make of that what you will
