Right. But honestly, it's this sort of harsh comparison that probably reinforced Trump to his voters. Because Trump is NOT Hitler and given things like cameras and the internet, no one was going to start a Holocaust. But this type of extremist liberal rhetoric probably alienated middle voters and invalidated much of their feelings about their immediate economic struggles.
I never understood the Hitler comparisons. Trump is much too dumb to make those kinds of strides. And we're not desperate enough economically to believe one ethnic group of people is too blame for every economic ail the country experience. Even I had to roll my eyes at that.
