Some might call it a laughable "October surprise." Others may say it's politics as usual. But let's call it what it really is: a desperate "Hail Hitler" pass being thrown by Kamala Harris, the Democrat Party, and their lapdog media as they try whatever they can to cling to power. 

We're talking, of course, about Kamala's spectacularly sinister "closing argument" that Donald Trump is Hitler and anyone who doesn't "bend a knee" to him will presumably face certain death at the hands of a man who was already president for four years and never once persecuted his political enemies. It's a repugnant way to close out her disastrous presidential campaign, but that's all she's got at this point. The question is whether or not it will win over undecided voters, which we will get to in just a moment.

But first, we must mention the now-debunked article in The Atlantic that kicked off the latest absurd attempt by the left to paint Trump as a fascist. The article was penned by liberal activist Jeffrey Goldberg, who cosplays as a journalist and is allegedly The Atlantic's editor-in-chief, in which he fallaciously claims that Trump harbors a deep disdain for the the U.S. military and is obsessed with fascist dictators and their generals. 

Goldberg has proven himself to be nothing but a foot soldier of the left who is incapable of independent thought. He is a useful tool of Kamala and the Democrats, and they used his nonsense article about Trump to set up their closing attacks. 

You almost can't blame the Democrats for going down the path of no return; they are, after all, stuck with one helluva loser of a presidential candidate. They might as well go down in flames trying to push Kamala across the finish. 

There's just one thing: They actually need to attract independent and undecided voters in order to win. And it's looking a lot like the "literally Hitler" trope isn't playing very well at all.

Political journalist Mark Halperin moderated a panel of such voters on Thursday and asked them about this line of attack from Democrats. He was speaking with a group of voters from the all-important swing state of Pennsylvania, and here's what one of them had to say:

I think part of the reason I'm being pushed toward Trump so strongly is that I find that the Democrats and the left keep going to straight to Hitler all of the time with everything. 

It's so exhausting, I just think it detracts from, it pushes me away from their position. It's so hyperbolic that it's impossible to have good discussions. It ruins the discourse. 

Most sane voters feel the same way as this guy. It's so tiresome, but it also shows just how convinced the Democrat Party is that Americans are too stupid to see through their desperate tactics. They're relying on that to deliver them a victory on Election Day.

The best part of the exchange, though, is when Halperin asks the panel if any of them think the Hitler nonsense is "valuable or anything you want to hear from the Vice President?" Just look at their faces:

Pretty much says it all, right? It's a loser of a line attack from a loser of a candidate, and it reeks of desperation. And it's not playing well in places like Pennsylvania, where people are struggling to pay the bills and remember how much better things were under Donald Trump. These are people who vote, and Kamala Harris has nothing for them. 

You might say Kamala's "Hail Hitler" pass is going over like the Hindenburg.
