Actress Ellen Barkin has accused President Donald Trump’s supporters of comprising of the “most extreme right-wingers since the Nazis,” while also claiming that the Republican Party is inflicting severe “financial damage” on them despite the country’s strong economic growth.
“If trump’s base, the most extreme right wingers since the Nazis, would just stop and look at the financial damage inflicted on them by the GOP, I believe they’d join the fight.,” Barkin mused on Twitter during last night’s Democratic debates. “The GOP is asking their base a question right now…would you rather hate or eat? What’s the answer?”
Barkin is known for her anti-Trump political rants. Last November, the Ocean’s Thirteen star pleaded with 13-year-old Barron Trump to break the supposed “chain of hate” caused by his “blood-soaked father.”
“Dear barron, you are not responsible for what your father has done. you are not him. you are yourself, a brilliant young man w love-filled eyes,” she wrote at the time. “i see only you, not him. i have faith in u to break the chain of hate. i hold you in my heart. bless you beautiful boy.”
Last year, Barkin also declared she only wished to be around “like-minded thinkers” after the Senate Judiciary Committee voted to advance the confirmation of President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

‘Rats are openly the new fascists.
The NSDAP is the German Left. We despise bourgeois nationalism.Barkin her head off as usual.
— Goebbels
To put it quite clearly, we have an economic program. Point number thirteen in that program demands the nationalization of all public companies—in other words socialization, or what is known here as socialism.
— Adolf
Barkin is a Nazi.
The woman is a bitter wench. Back in November she mouthed off at Baron Trump.
Actress Ellen Barkin Begs Barron Trump to ‘Break the Chain of Hate’ Caused By His ‘Blood-Soaked’ Father
Ellen Barkin is knocking President Trump as a publicity stunt for her TNT series, “Animal Kingdom” Season 4. This type of tactic is so typical for these Hollywood idiots.
Meh. They are all of her mindset in Hollyweird. Why does Breitbart even cover this?
“The Nazis were socialists. ( NAZI = National Socialist Party)”
The name didn’t mean much of anything. “Socialist” was added to the earlier German Workers Party in order to lure away members of leftwing parties. The Nazi party didn’t have an economic theory. They left German business alone and in private hands just like they had been under the Weimar government.
I would love to slap her with a Class Action lawsuit for slander

…“I believe Trump, whether he knows it or not, is grooming brown shirts.”

Right, the Nazis were left wingers. More government control is left wing. You can get some racism when you go right and tribalism is greater but cooperation between groups and individuals is more possible when people are relatively free of government control. When the Left practices racism whomever is the target race, it is in big trouble.
NAZl’s were The National Socialist German Workers’ Party of 1939.
They wanted government intervention into all aspects of life & promoted large social spending.
They relied on identity politics.
They did not tolerate diversity in news and media.
They burned books and articles.
They abhorred Christianity.
They hated Jews.
They felt Islam was the perfect religion for the warrior.
Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei
The big fascist parties of the 1930s were in reality a blend of many political impulses but they copied the methodology of the far left Stalinist government (which they hated but at the same time respected for its ability to control society).
This concept that the Nazis were leftists sounds absurd to many because they have been educated to believe that the National Socialist Party radicalized the existing political right in Germany while Mussolini did the same in Italy.
To some extent that is true but they deceived voters in those camps into thinking that their fears of communism could be allayed by a strong coalition of right-wing forces while appealing to the patriotism of the working classes to desert the communists. In fact what they promised their voters was only partially delivered then much of it was taken away and replaced with a totalitarian model that in essence operated almost exactly the same way as the feared communists.
The only real difference between the fascist and communist ideologies by the end game was that the fascists were stridently nationalist while the communists preached an internationalism although in practice the Soviets were just as chauvinistic (Russia first) as the Nazis and Mussolini.
I can see why poorly educated leftists see Trump as a fascist. They fail to see that he has libertarian tendencies and a pro-small-business orientation that was missing from fascism. They confuse his defence of a national or racial group being targeted for extinction with racialist policies promoting a racial group as superior.
There is a vast difference between saying “we are equal and will not buy into your guilt trip,” and “we are superior and you must bow down to us.” The difference is so great that only a person who hates his or her own race (if they are of the white race) could possibly confuse the two things.
But having said all that, I would not subscribe to any notion that the Nazis were “leftists.” It just makes no sense, to describe strident anti-communists as leftists. And in retrospect, who could blame them for being strident anti-communists? That part of their history has been sanitized out of history altogether and replaced by the semi-fiction that the Nazis turned on the peace-loving Soviet Union. I think reality was considerably different.
Very few people today realize that a German communist party was quite strong in the 1920s and took many seats in the parliament. Italy came even closer to having an actual communist revolution. The existing conservative forces were unable to do much about these developments and the fascists exploited the vacuum that then existed between the feared leftist threat and the despised right-wing decadence. It was the same in France except that there, the fascists failed to gain power until Hitler invaded their country.
I wouldn’t classify the fascists as right wing or left wing. They were a singularity and while there are pale imitations in public life today, they are mostly ineffectual men who could not attract more than a handful of voters. Trump to my mind is a needed antidote to the fascist alternative when people realize that they need something other than traditional centrist wishy-washy accommodationist politics to counter globalism (which is really just the modern revived version of communism).
Trump has done absolutely nothing to curtail civil liberties. Stephen Colbert, for example, who says that he is a danger in that regard, disproves his own point by going on the air night after night to say so. Even in a country as milquetoast as Canada, a critic of the government that prominent and noisy would find themselves facing consequences. As far as I can see, Colbert has faced no consequences, nor should he as long as he doesn’t advocate violence. He is dead wrong of course, but being dead would be something far worse.
That’s ok because I don’t know who Ellen Barking is.
Ellen Barkin plays the head of a family criminal gang on the show “Animal Kingdom.” Her character does not match her political opinions.
