This week’s blog is a critique
about a blog that was done by Political Blogger Anne Coulter. The article is
called Springtime of Pundits. Ann Coulter has a degree from Cornell University.
She also has two degrees from the University of Michigan. Her second degree
from the University of Michigan is Law degree. She is a writer, teacher,
columnist, and a lawyer. She calls herself a social conservative.
Her
audience is anyone who listens but majority is social conservatives. Her credibility
definitely outweighs my academic credentials currently. She makes a lot of good
arguments throughout her blog. She makes some very spot on comparisons and
contrast.
She
starts how with people need to wake up and hurry and increase their level of
knowledge in history. She gives a lists
of statements in her comparison with how much Donald Trump has in common with
Adolf Hitler.
First
she compares how they both inspire the masses with speeches. She talks about
their immigration views. She talks about the type of wife that they are married
to. I mean the lists goes on and on. She
concludes her blog with her stating that she is very very afraid.
I do
agree with some of her arguments about Donald Trump and Adolf Hitler. They both
are eerily similar in more ways than one. They both have the same views on how you
should deal with immigrants. They both wanted to use walls and get people who
they deemed foreign out of their countries. They do have the same polarizing
effect on the masses. They both have
similar test in woman.
I do not
feel that this makes him the next Hitler. He very well could be, though. I am
not discounted anything that he has said or done since he has been on his
political trail. He has offended millions and people and it continues to do so. The crazy thing is that the more people that
he offends, the more followers that he seems to gain. He does not fear reprisal
for anything that he does.
The
evidence that she uses is the thing that Donald Trump has done or said and she
placed it context. I do that Donald Trump is definitely a racist towards anyone
who is not white but he is also racist with whites too. It all depends on their
social and economic class that they are in. In order to fit into Donald Trumps’
world you have to fall into his criteria. Based on the issues alone, it looks
like Ann Coulter has definitely looked at all aspects of Donald Trump.
It is
really hard to say whether or not if she is right or wrong about Donald Trump
as of right now. He has not ever held any political office. That could be proven
a positive thing or an extreme detriment to our country. I think if her blog’s
only purpose was to gain people’s attention and to get them to think then she
did an outstanding job. However, if her purpose was to use the facts that she
has listed as concrete evidence that he’s Hitler, she’s missed the mark. Almost
all of the comparisons can be seen as complete isolated coincidences. There is
no one to know if Donald Trump is really trying to be the Adolf Hitler of tis
generation. We need more in depth analysis of every aspect of his life to make
that distinction.
In
conclusion, she did make me question Donald Trump a little bit more though. I
do not agree with her conclusion as of right now because I simply need to see
or hear irrefutable evidence showing this.
Overall I give this Blog an A-.
