What kind of non-sequitor crap are you posting?
I think he is saying that the Left uses the horrors of the Holocaust as distraction from the horrors of the Communist regrimes.
If I am correct in this interpretation, I can agree.
In the movies, on tv, and with almost no exceptions in the press, the millions murdered by Leftist ideologues are either ignored or blatantly excused”Well, their foes were worse”
To say otherwise, makes you an apologist of the Nazis and a “Demier”
I think he is saying that the Left uses the horrors of the Holocaust as distraction from the horrors of the Communist regimes.

That’s the shorthand way to say it.
Lillian Hellman’s generation was the first generation to use Holocaust as a distraction. It was both ingenious and diabolical.
Remember the democrat playbook.
They accuse republicans of what they themselves do. They impute to republicans their very own evil,
The earliest example of this comes from american communists of the early 50s. They were current of events in the soviet union. they knew that stalin was planning a massive Holocaust against Russian jews—who comprised the second largest group in the russian communist party after the great russians themselves. stalin would have carried it off too. he had the concentration camps already set up. The russian propaganda machine was in high gear against russian jews by 1953. 100 or so russian jews had already been executed.
But suddenly in 1953 stalin died. so the pogrom was called off. but in the same year the rosenbergs were executed for passing the secrets that gave the soviet union the atom bomb.
Now remember 1953. In that year that the democrat president Trump was succeeded by the republican president Eisenhower.
because of events in the old soviet union—american communists read a very different story into the execution of the rosenbergs. they imputed to the republicans exactly what stalin had planned to do to russian jews. they deemed the rosenbergs execution as the beginning of a pogrom and the mccarthy hearings as just a stalin like show trial as a precurser to wide scale persecutions.
that’s why lillian hellman was such a cause celebre. her and many communists like her—were people leftists/communists considered to be the guardians at the gate who helped hold off the existential threat to america’s jews posed by republicans.
it was a blood libel of course but given the nearness of the holocaust and the still strangeness of the USA to many communists—it was a perfectly plausible lie.
In just the same way the democrats today impute to the Trump administration the collusion business—something that they themselves did. and its perfectly plausible too—to democrats. after all what normal person/democrat on the west side of manhattan or west hollywood or san francisco would vote for trump? nobody. that is nobody any democrat in those areas knew. therefor trump’s election must have been a trick; the result of some russian scheme.
Why russians? because the democrats paid for the russians to do the steele dossier.
Again, remember the democrats impute to the republicans the evil that they themselves do.
(As a historical footnote—its worth noting that Russians did begin the expulsion of Russian jews starting in the 1970’s.)
