Patton is 110% correct here. People on the right and especially the alt right think they're comedians, but what they're really spewing is hateful, divisive, racist and sexist bullshit. If people aren't making the connections between the rise of the alt right and the rise of Nazi Germany, they're not paying enough attention.
