Hitler, Musk, and the Art of the Smear "As nonfiction authors of books about the Third Reich, and as cofounders of @AntisemitismOrg, a nonprofit that monitors anti-Jewish hate worldwide, we know real Nazi and fascist rhetoric and actions.

But in the far left arsenal of tools to resist Trump, claims about some Nazi-association are a preferred way of going on the offensive . . . .
