    Godwin said in an interview. And in his view, Trump is actively seeking to evoke the parallel.

    This is not something I had thought about but wouldn’t be surprised at this point

      He constantly idolizes dictators and autocrats. It’s not that big of a leap.

        I think this is the biggest point that somehow seems lost on the extremists.

        Trump clearly and publicly praised MANY fascist dictators. Why do they either ignore or accept that?

        I just struggle with the severe disconnect where their emotions allow them to ignore the reality in front of them. I struggle to fathom the dissonance required for that

    The proper term is proto-fascist, but regardless I don’t think we should be allowing a klansman anywhere near the white house anyway.

    Trump is nothing more than a 2 cent snake oil salesman. He accomplished nothing in his life and eventually the Epstein tapes will come out of him raping little girls. Hitler damn near took over the world. Trump did jack shit. He dreams of being revered at Hitlers magnitude. He is nothing.

    Everyone point & laugh at the pathetic fascist symp trying & failing to defend Trump in this thread.

    I take Trump at his word that he’s never read Mein Kampf. The joke in Nazi Germany was that Mein Kampf was like the bible, everybody had a copy, but nobody read it. I tried to read it once, it was impenetrable and made lots of references to Weimar politics that went over my head.

    But this isn’t the defense Trump thinks it is. Either he’s been listening to someone influenced by Hitler (my pet theory), or he thinks in parallel with the Fuhrer.
