This picture & article was posted on X on July 7, 2024, less than 6 days later the attempted assassination took place. There's a connection there, I wonder what other media outlets said and/or published that day?
Since they keep on calling him Hitler since 2016, and then publish this, could it trigger someone, or many someone's to get it over with? This was on the cover of the June magazine.
(This website is insane and filled with vitriol and hate)

We chose the cover image, based on a well-known 1932 Hitler campaign poster, for a precise reason: that anyone transported back to 1932 Germany could very, very easily have explained away Herr Hitler’s excesses and been persuaded that his critics were going overboard. After all, he spent 1932 campaigning, negotiating, doing interviews—being a mostly normal politician. But he and his people vowed all along that they would use the tools of democracy to destroy it, and it was only after he was given power that Germany saw his movement’s full face.
Today, we at The New Republic think we can spend this election year in one of two ways. We can spend it debating whether Trump meets the nine or 17 points that define fascism.Or we can spend it saying, “He’s damn close enough, and we’d better fight.”
We unreservedly choose the latter course. And so we have assembled herein some of our leading intellectual historians of fascism;a member of the fourth estate who learned first hand what the Trump lash feels like (Whiny Brian Fucking Stelter, are you kidding me?); a leading expert on civil-military relations; a great Guatemalan American novelist with a deep understanding of immigrants’ lives; one of our most incisive cultural critics; and a man with all-too-real experience in living under a notorious authoritarian regime. The scenarios they describe are certainly grim. We dare you to say, after reading these pieces, that they are impossible. (I can't believe they included Stelter to contribute, look at the names on the poster.)
