I think the people who say it's not a fair comparison, that "he's not rounding people up" or he's not rolling tanks through the streets, are forgetting that Hitler's rise to power was gradual. He started sowing the seeds of dissension early on, long before there were tanks and camps. That's where we are now - we're looking at 1925 Hitler, not 1933 Hitler. The difference is we can see now what the world ignored then.

The problem is willful ignorance. I think those that are intelligent enough to understand the comparison need to be softer on their delivery if we wish to prevent what’s happening like what happened in the past. That’s the point. People won’t change and history repeats itself. Instead of attacking them we need to get all the best minds to figure out a way to combat this way of thinking and do whatever we need to do to start the change and reverse the damages.

Love this take. And I agree. I will say, the last conversation I had, I tried to use a soft delivery, full of love, heart, and respect, and really tried to get at the heart of where this Donald supporter was coming from. But frustration ended the conversation at a kind, loving standoff.

It was so emotionally draining, I had to walk away.

They truly felt that he was a misunderstood good guy doing his best and making some mistakes. And that we should all give him grace and see that. Neither of us raised our voice, it was a respectful conversation, but it really made me see where some people are coming from. This person did not see that the call is coming from inside the house. They seemed to feel that others are being alarmist.

Lol you sound simple. No, we are calling people who are doing Nazi things Nazis. You wouldve been a bystander in 1940's Germany, that's for sure.

Please, go and study some history before you continue to make a fool of yourself. Start with the birth of Adolf Hitler's political career. Compare that to where Trump stands.

If it walks like a duck and quacks....

I disagree with my mother on politics, and she's not a Nazi. But when a person who has legitimate world power is doing Nazi things, then they're acting like a Nazi.

if you'd like to discuss the disturbing parallels between Trump's and Hitler's rhetoric.

What specifically would you like to explore:

A) The psychological tactics used to manipulate public opinion

B) Historical context: how Hitler rose to power and similarities with current events

C) Trump's specific policies or actions that draw these parallels

D) Ways to counter such divisive rhetoric and promote unity

Nonsense. You are detaching reality from illusion and focusing on the illusion. Please go and study German history, specifically around WW1 and the subsequent rise to power of the Nazis. None of what led to that has happened in the USA. There is no way on God's green earth that you can ever conceivably draw a comparison between what Trump is doing and what Hitler did (even prior to the outbreak of WW2 and the genocide of Jews and other minorities).

Trump is trying to re-build the American values that have kept the entire western world aspirational since the 1950's. He is not a destroyer of worlds.

My family originated from Prussia. They were ship builders and land Barons in Hamburg. When Hitler came to power he usurped everything they owned and had spent generations building. That is not happening in America.

Your mother may not be a Nazi; but if she doesn’t denounce Nazi stuff like you do and instead chooses to justify and support Nazis, perhaps she’s a Nazi enabler?

There wouldn’t have been any Nazis without the Nazi enablers.

It’s a simple binary choice here. You make the right choice she doesn’t.

We didn’t start calling them Nazis until they started acting like Nazis. And it’s no longer about politics.

Your standard is indecent and both historically and politically asinine. My guess is you don’t think of yourself as a conspiracist and a human rights violator, but if you’re voted for Biden the.

Suyeta Rose's avatar

This is true. Dumb, spiteful and hate-filled is no way to go through life. You should try releasing it. You are trying to draw parallels where there are only perpendiculars. What policies specifically of the Biden administration makes a Biden voter a human rights violator and did he run on it during his campaign? Also why are you stuck in 2020?

Jeremy Elice's avatar

All of them.

You’d know that if you were paying attention.

Also platitudes are meaningless. Whether you view them as perpendicular or parallel just demonstrates you still don’t get it.

That’s why you’re on here calling people Nazis

No surprise there.

Refusing to acknowledge the Nazi shit happening in front your face and asking people not to call the Nazi shit Nazi shit is delusional and plain fucking asinine.

This isn’t a “political disagreement,” shit wipe, it’s resisting a fascist uprising being perpetuated by those following a LITERAL Nazi playbook.

Looks like a Nazi. Sounds like a Nazi. But don’t call it a Nazi? Sounds like YOU might be on the side of the Nazis, pussy. Reevaluate what the fuck you just said.

This is straight up retarded. Historically simplistic and politically asinine. Everyone who votes supports someone. That doesn’t make them in full agreement with that person. Only the insane leftist cult that silences dissent would make someone think like you do. I guess if you voted for Biden then You support lying about untested drugs which you then force on to everyone in your country — you know, in violation of human rights. Or maybe you’re just a conspiracist like Biden and the Dems running him, thwarting the constitution in order to cover up his health problems. Your whole point on this matter is so poorly thought out. You have to be retarded.

You're kidding right?

Every congressperson who pushes along his rhetoric, who pushes through his illegal, irresponsible, and harmful bills, every governor who falls in line and pushes through his agenda at the state level - are they not enabling him?

By all the Maga that have political seats. When Nixon got caught, republicans and Democrats wanted him out of office. MAGA politicians pass bills they darn well know are unconstitutional. They are his cohorts. Maybe the world and many USA citizens do not act like tRump or support his tyranny but the people that do also are law makers and judges who stand to profit from trumps rule. Power combined with money and racial privilege … yeah that

Trump is not doing the presidency thing for more money. Yes, he has a big sloppy mouth, but he is not corrupt. Look at his successor / predecessor for those qualities.

I don't disagree that politicians are evil. Trump is not a politician. Not by any measure.

Not to mention, he IS rounding people up. Not at the rate Hitler did after Kristallnacht, but we have a few immigrants who were sent to prison camps abroad—illegally.

We’re also seeing the beginning of his own version of Night Of The Long Knives. He has continuously demonized (rightly or wrongly) those who helped in his rise to power. Anyone who challenges his authority is threatened by him and his henchmen. What his henchmen don’t realize is that they’re probably next.

Hitler burned down the Reichstag and blamed his political opponents, demonizing them. Once Ernst Rohm (leader of the Brownshirts) was no longer useful and a serious threat to his power, Hitler had him assassinated. He hasn’t yet crossed that line, but neither did Putin in the beginning. We’re in the early stages of—as Joseph points out—a new type of autocracy, but the end result will be, in effect, the same.

He’s already hinted at building internment camps on US soil. One of his oligarch friends has offered a large section of land in Texas to be donated for the cause. Lord knows what would take place in these camps. Do you think for one minute we’d be able to visit them. Do you think the press would have access? What about what he said on a hot mic to the president of El Salvador?: (paraphrasing) “we need like five more of these” [facilities].

Yes, it’s fascism with a new twist, but fascism nonetheless.

No. He rounding up and deporting criminals. That’s good. Hitler rounded up and killed Jews. That’s a very bad thing.
