Even before 1933, there is no good comparison. Yes, the R's are assholes but they are NOT that bad. Yes, occasionally one of their supporters gets violent or says something stupid about Muslims in public, but they are many many years away from comparable.

You need to read extensively how much political violence went on in Germany pre-1933.
