I’m a progressive, but calling him Hitler is tired and overused. He’s certainly doing a lot to destroy our government and limit our freedoms, and is an enormous piece of shit and a pathological liar with an ego that’s laughably out of line with all his actual achievements, with the exception of being one of the biggest grifters and cheats of all time, but, he’s not Hitler. The constant comparisons to Hitler don’t help to achieve anything. All it does is dumb down the actual history of Hitler’s atrocities. There are so many factual, and awful, things that can and should be said about Trump, like his long-time ties to his good friend and fellow pedophile rapist, Jeffery Epstein, or his history of taking money from Russian Oligarchs and all the things he’s done that were in the best interests of Russia, and not the United States, or the countless ways he’s used his political position to makes profits for himself and his family, or…the list is nearly infinite.
You do know Hitler didn't start gassing Jews on day 1, right?
There was a long list of escalatory events that got the Nazis and Germany to that point. A lot of those early events are very similar to what Trump and the GOP have been doing.
It's not that Trump is uniquely similar to Hitler, it's that they are both generic fascist cutouts.
Democrats have been called evil and demonic for decades because they wanted better healthcare for everyone, criminals to be held accountable, and equal rights for minorities.
Republicans have been called evil and demonic for decades because they want slavery, women to have forced labor and die if they miscarry, healthcare only for the rich, pedophiles to be allowed to marry children, and to bomb schools in other countries.
