yeah but Trump is #LiterallyHitler and detaining people in (physical) safety who are trying to break into another country is exactly the same as rounding up citizens and placing them in death camps.

Yes... it's exactly the same.

This is the sort of excuse making that allows the latter to develop, though. If you actually take a look at history, nobody just suddenly springs up committing the worst atrocities. Things start small, and seemingly justifiable, and people let it slide. And then they escalate a little, and people let it slide. And then kids and their parents are separated, but people let it slide. Small, creeping changes. The slow, but continuous, removal of little rights and freedoms so that no individual change "seems all that big or bad". Until one day people look at the bigger picture and realise that it's ****ed up.

People are quick to make Nazi analogies, yes, that's true. But the REALLY important part of the rise of Nazi Germany and WWII is that the German people who supported that government, and fought in its armies, were not "evil" people. The German army wasn't a horde of monsters. It was just an army. They weren't funded, fed and equipped by cackling goblins in caves... the German civilians were just... people. Who fell for a tonne of propaganda hook, line and sinker.

Yup, his supporters will rubbish the Nazi comparisons but you can't really deny the similarities unless you are willing yourself not to which a lot of his supporters are doing.

It's something I've been saying a lot lately and I'll say it again, what's truly going to **** up this world is people who will believe a fiction over the reality of a situation just because they like the sound of the lies better.

Trump's ascension to power has been based on nothing but lies and not even good ones. He has been exposed time and time again throughout his campaign and in office. He speaks in nothing but lies and has **** all over his core fanbase whilst being in office but people will still vote for him in the next election, they'll wipe the **** from their eyes and ask for more because they don't care about facts, they don't care about how they are being completely betrayed by someone they've voted for, they only care that the lies that's being spun are pleasant to their ears because at the end of the day, they don't care about these kids, they aren't white so his supporters aren't bothered.
