A sure way to instantly lose all credibility from whatever argument you're making.

Hitler waged a world war, and tried to exterminate a race of people. Trump is on record against war, and It's one of his more central campaign themes. And as far as anyone knows, he's never killed anyone.

Not every nationalist turns into Hitler, and I wish people would stop making this stupid comparison. It makes us look like idiots.
