You also, presumably, know fine well that comparison and pointing out precedent in no way involves suggesting equivalency? That pointing out that there are valid comparisons to be made between current global politics and early-20th-century politics (which seems undeniable, to me) is not in the slightest the same thing as saying they're identical, nor is it an attempt to argue that Trump is identical to Hitler. The "comparison = equivalence" counter arguments are usually a strawman tactic employed by people who find the comparison confronting or uncomfortable. I can compare apples to oranges, pears, plums, carrots, and small red family hatchbacks whilst acknowledging that none of them are the same thing. You're in law. You understand that. You know that pointing out precedent in a previous case is not a claim that two cases are identical. Why do you keep pretending that you're mystified by the concept?

You don't need a Jew in these threads, especially not one who's connected with Israel in any way. It just spoils the party. |

You not wanting to have a discussion because you either don't have a response, or most likely just can't be bothered, doesn't make me patronising. It's fine that you don't want a discussion. You could just say so.

He's either trolling or doesn't know any better, no-one could reasonably think the two men are comparable, stop getting your knickers in a twist

People with power have always exploited it, and those being exploited have always resented it. I don't know when or if that'll change, but it doesn't mean modern day America (or UK) is similar to ore-WW2 Germany |

The only people trying to make out that comparing Trump's administration to the rise of the Nazis is a bad thing are the Trump supporters themselves.
You can cry all you want but the comparisons are there, Trump has been making plays from the Fascist playbook since the start. Last edited by Tom4784; 28-06-2020 at 04:53 PM. |

All of which would be an interesting discussion and comparison, but that's automatically "not OK" apparently. I get it when it's a lazy comparison, but it also invalidates a discussion that's worth having. Last edited by Toy Soldier; 28-06-2020 at 04:01 PM. |

I'm wary of giving him too much credit, like how much of it is on purpose, and how much of it either cleverer people behind the scenes pulling the strings, or simply hollow bluster which people can get attached to? |

Trump is very Hitleresque and the sooner he meets the same demise, the better!

That part I agree on, Trump is more of a lightning rod for a certain mindset than a mastermind who is manipulating that mindset in any sort of organised way. He is capitalising on it in broad, obvious strokes.

Trump doesn't believe in anything other than himself, he doesn't have any political motives other than to feather his own nest

Maybe but that doesn't make him any less worrying. He knows why he was elected, he knows what his support base wants to see, and he has no moral objection to giving it to them.

Donald represents the fact that certain small section of society are following a pov that no one supports or votes for
They keep losing and they are angry They are violent, they are dangerous but they are a clang in an empty pot We all have to listen but we don't really have to worry to much.. He doesnt |

Well I blame the lack of intelligence and racism for Trump being in power in the first place
