Why do people compare trump to Hitler?

[magicguido]

[Skittles]

1. because their fans behave/d so alike

yup

[Thomas Hurt]

2. Because Trump is a fascist, that's why.

Obviously, he isn't Hitler and he isn't a Nazi. He is a modern day, contemporary American fascist with a side of christian fundamentalist f*ckery.

3. I would never have made that comparison

because Dumdum was far too stupid.

What I have said is that the US under him bore an unsettling resemblance to what was going on in Germany in the late 1920s and early 1930s with the constant demonization of "other" groups and whipping up the country's bigots into a frothing frenzy.

I stand by that.

4. They are both narcissistic disordered populists. Nobody is as evil as Hitler. Trump keeps

trying. He may yet get the country to become fascist like Hitler did.

6. Because

Given the opportunity, Trump wound out-Hitler Hitler… With all the bells and whistles.
