Hate rarely dies a quiet death.

History teaches something darker than that.

It retreats. Regroups. Changes clothes. Finds softer language. Waits for exhausted people to stop paying attention. And then eventually, it tries to walk back into civilized society pretending it belongs there.

That’s why the developing Senate race in Maine matters far beyond Maine itself.

Democrats there appear increasingly prepared to wage full-scale political warfare to defeat longtime Republican Senator Susan Collins. And let me say something clearly before partisan minds explode: Collins and I have disagreed on plenty over the years.

But to her credit, she now supports the Save America Act—one of the single most important legislative efforts in the country at the moment because election integrity is not a side issue anymore. It’s foundational. If citizens lose confidence in elections, constitutional government itself begins wobbling.

So, yes, Collins deserves credit for standing correctly there.

But this race has become something larger and uglier than normal campaign politics. Because the candidate many Democrats are quietly tolerating, excusing, or outright enabling carries open associations with Nazi imagery, anti-Semitic rhetoric, and extremist ideology that previous generations of Americans would have politically annihilated on sight.

And they should have.

Nazism is not “an alternative viewpoint.” It is not edgy rebellion. It is not misunderstood populism. It is one of the most evil political movements human civilization has ever produced. Full stop.

The swastika is not a protest symbol. It is........
