Why do well-educated, practical people compare the administration to that of Nazi Germany? (Putin, Palestinians)

[-thomass]

You never really hear it in “real life,” but it’s a pretty common accusation here and on social media. Why do people genuinely feel that America will soon be no different than Nazi Germany?

Because some people aren't so blindly devoted to their cult leader that they refuse to take the blinders off? That they will believe the slightest negative fact about their leader is fake?

Because they realize the best way to control a population is to divide it, just as Trump has been doing since launching his campaign?

Because their president literally refused to condemn people who were literally waving Nazi flags?

Because giving your people a boogeyman to hate (Jews, immigrants, brown people) and convincing them that somebody else is responsible for all of their problems is an easy way to gain their support and loyalty?

Because the president has expressed admiration for brutal strongmen such as Putin and Kim Jong Un?

Because the attacks against the media are an eerie repeat of similar tactics in the early days of Nazi Germany?

Telling parents they are taking their kids to take showers and then throwing them in camps?

Those are a few things that come to mind.

Thanks for showing what the OP was talking! Lmao

Because they have to distract from Israel executing sixty unarmed Palestinians on is border,

by comparing Trump to Hitler for separating children from their parents on the U.S. border.

[lisanicole1]

I am not Trumps biggest fan at all. People compare Trump to Hitler because they see such comparasions on Occupy Democrat meme's and get all hysterical. They want to be hystercial for all of Trumps presidency because they are still upset that Trump won.


All (or MOST) Trump voters are bigots, racists and rednecks
Trump = Hitler

[texan2yankee]

people that compare every minor thing they don't agree with in this administration to Hitler, Nazism or Armageddon obviously haven't read history and/or are idiots. I rarely use that word idiot, but it applies.

[Crazee Cat Lady]

I don't know.
Ripping children from their parents arms and throwing them in cages and camps
isn't all that nice, or normal.

[BigCityDreamer]

It is just liberals attempting to gain political points.

No big deal.

[Dockside]

Most people aren't well-educated. That's a big part of the problem.

[It'sAutomatic]

It's a bad comparison. The huge difference was that the Nazi party was a powerful unified force, the Trump Admin is a divided, comically incompetent bunch of bottom-barrel politicians.
