Wow. there's a lot to unpack there. Lots of anger. You know what'd be awesome? Links. As is your post looks like a psycho rant on a post that's been posted 3 times.

This is how you do it:
People call Trump Hitler (your words, not mine, I'd just call him Fascist). Because he marginalizes free press. He also lies a lot and calls himself a nationalist. There's also articles and books written on this (and even updated!).

While it's certainly a smear (Trump is just almost a fascist). It still holds a lot more validity than this rant.

Not literally Hitler? Were you even around during the travel ban? What about right after the election, when ecstatic Trump supporters beat up Muslims and spraypainted swastikas everywhere? "Make America White Again", they said.

If you're admitting he's not Hitler, that is a HUGE step forward and a big win for Trump.

> “Fascism may be defined as a form of political behavior marked by obsessive preoccupation with community decline [every Trump speech], humiliation or victimhood [Mexican rapists invading our borders] and by compensatory cults of unity, energy and purity [Make America GREAT Again!], in which a massed-based party of committed nationalist militants [Trump’s base], working in uneasy but effective collaboration with traditional elites [GOP], abandons democratic liberties and pursues with redemptive violence and without ethical or legal restraints goals of internal cleansing and external expansion [violent political rallies, torture, walls, seizing oil fields in Iraq].”


Just look at these images - come on, moving up from Hitler to incompetent boob is a gargantuan upgrade. What's next, "I don't agree with him but he's not that bad"?


> The most historical figure most commonly referred to as an analogue to Donald Trump is Adolf Hitler. Instead of dismissing the parallels, isn't it time that we confront them, and consider them seriously?
