I have long held the opinion that invoking Hitler in a political discussion is fatuous and lazy.

4. I find the comparison apt

The same techniques Hitler used to centralize power are being used by trump and his minions. Both use a paramilitary, ICE and Brown Shirts) to perform ethnic cleansing. They both appointed ignorant sycophants to executive positions. Both attacked institutions of higher education. Both had laws changed to facilitate their goals. Both generate fear in the population to control. And more.
We know that trump studied Hitler and the Third Reich and he harbors some of the same prejudices. His father, who trump idolized, was known to be sympathetic to some Nazi organizations. He was also known to be a racist.

The major difference is that trump is not really that intelligent and relies on the Heritage Foundation and advisors like Miller to get the job done. Trump is more the useful idiot that Hitler was.

Trump and Hitler are not amazing individuals, just sociopaths. Mao can be included as he also used some of the same tactics, especially the Red Guards.

We all know where the Nazis went with their beliefs. I believe to ignore the similarities is to ignore the reality. When you take away someone's access to medical care, nutritional support, and incarcerating people without due process, in a swamp - we are getting close! The methods of murder are different is all.
