Dumbfuck Harvard Law Professor Laurence Tribe says that President Trump resembles Hitler, and we would like to play along…
TDS-devastated Laurence Tribe looks like a scary and dangerous sexual predator or child rapist, and from what I’ve seen Tribe acts like a child rapist as well.
I bet kids are scared of Laurence Tribe! All that’s missing is Laurence Tribe’s clown makeup.
I’ve many times referenced Godwin’s law in my pieces regarding the state of politics at present. If you’re unfamiliar with Godwin’s law, it was a humorous postulate from the early days of the internet that went thusly: “As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1.”
In other words, as things get heated, the ignorant and/or angry tend to call the other side Nazis or Hitler. The corollary is that once the other side invokes the Nazi Party, they pretty much lose the argument; those individuals have shown how threadbare their logic is without resorting to hyperbole or argumentum ad hominem.
Since the election of Donald Trump and other associated shocks, there’s been a concerted movement to suspend Godwin’s law, at least for the moment. “Stop talking about Godwin’s Law: real Nazis are back,” James Ball wrote in the New Statesman America last year in an article which, among other things, trotted out the oft-repeated, empurpled, purposely misleading rhetoric about children being torn from their parents and “caged” at the border.
The Los Angeles Times similarly ran a piece wondering whether it was time to suspend the maxim. Even the eponymous Godwin himself said he would suspend the law for talk about the torch-wielders at the Charlottesville rally in 2017, which I think every sane person agrees is a solid reason for temporarily suspending it.
However, if you think that Godwin’s law should be suspended, I give you as a counterargument Harvard law professor Laurence Tribe.
Tribe was, before the current administration, a respected if slightly nutty constitutional law prof. Nothing unusual for Harvard. He has since gone so far off the academic deep end that even his Wikipedia page says he “has promoted unreliable sources and conspiracy theories about Donald Trump.”
I mention this only because I don’t know how many of you are familiar with how Wikipedia doth roll, but for a liberal to get branded as a conspiracy theorist — particularly a liberal of Tribe’s provenance — takes considerable talent.
Yet, he’s still a professor in good standing at Harvard — one who taught a course on Trump’s impeachment, according to Fox News. He also has a Twitter account, which can be kryptonite to some people. Tribe is unsurprisingly one of them.
On Monday, Tribe took to Twitter and attempted to claim that because of what he saw as similar physiognomy between President Trump and Adolf Hitler, the two must be alike philosophically. “Horrifying. I’m not saying Trump is becoming Hitler, so don’t bother tweeting the distinctions,”
