Could someone please explain something to me?

Why in the hell would someone compare our President Elect Trump to Hitler? Did I miss some history here? Did Trump invade another country without provocation? Did Trump commit genocide against another race of people? I know I am a conservative and Trump wasn't who I was backing for President but he is my President and we still live in the greatest nation in the world. If Hillary would have been elected, as much as I would have hated to see that, she still would have been my President and I still have lived in the greatest country in the world. Why do people spew such ignorance? Trump hasn't taken office yet and he is already being criticized for things he hasn't even done. On this note, Have a Great New Years!

T-Rump is not Hitler. He is Mussolini. An egotistical populist with delusions of grandeur. Hitler was pure evil and much smarter than Il Duce or Il Donald. Hitler even wrote a book. T-Rump has never read one!

Yes, you did. You missed the part where Conservatives compared Obama to Hitler a month after he took office, and it helped them eventually win the White House.

People are now following an obviously successful model. Don't knock it; acknowledge and appreciate.

 

[Hard_Rom]

Demonize your opponent. Age old tactic. That is were you have to employ your own critical thinking. Don't believe everything the media, blogger or politician says.

 

[Armyvet23]

Fuck, I hope someone can give me an intelligent explanation.

I understand that, but come on, what's the basis for the comparison?

 

[Ms_Ann]

Because Hitler is the worst possible comparison.

 

[Hard_Rom]

Xenophobic, nationalist, populous with short term economic fixes.

 

[RoryN]

This is my explanation:

Ok, this question is for the women here. Reading about guys that like to sniff panties, would you notice if a pair of yours came up missing, either from the laundry basket or your drawer if a guy was that bold to go there?

Do you think Obama is an American citizen?

 

[Armyvet23]

Do you think Obama is an American citizen?

Why would the Democrat Party nominate him if he wasn't? So yes, I think he is an American citizen.

 

[Saint Peter]

Just curious.

Thanks!

The only reason I can think of is maybe it's because he talked of requiring US citizens who are Muslims to register and about keeping Muslim areas under surveillance.

I can understand some people thinking that as being kinda hitlerish.

I don't recall any other presidential candidates, from a major party, suggesting things like that.

Wouldn't doing a search on Trump and Hitler comparisons be an easier, faster way of getting an actual answer?

 

[Liar]

Given enough people engaged in the public debate, the probability of someone comparing the other side to Hitler rapidly approaches inevitability. Trump, Hillary, Obama, Bush... they've all gotten a fair share of it.

And this the age of the Internet. Every moron with a blog or a four digit Twitter follower number is part of the public debate now.

Ever heard of FDR? Internment of Japanese-Americans?

Yes.

But he didn't really want one.

When FDR was running for president he talked about internment of Japanese-Americans? Wow, learn something new every day.
So was that part of the Stimson Doctrine?

I know I am a conservative and Trump wasn't who I was backing for President
but he is my President and we still live in the greatest nation in the world.

If Hillary would have been elected, as much as I would have hated to see that
she still would have been my President and I still have lived in the greatest
country in the world.

Trump hasn't taken office yet and he is already being criticized for things he
hasn't even done.

Silly reply. FDR didn't just talk about doing such things, he actually did them, while president, which is more than Trump has actually done.

Not really. You decided you should correct me about something I never said.

Let me put it in a way you'll understand.

"It was just a joke"
Or maybe it was "locker room talk". Take your pick.

He's a hate-filled racist white supremacist lying assed bastard.

Did Trump invade another country without provocation?

Give him time.

Did Trump commit genocide against another race of people?

Give him time. (Hopefully 25 to life)


And he will NEVER be MY President.

 

[Froya]

Yes.

But he didn't really want one.

That was my assumption; I just wanted to see what reason he'd come up with.

 

[Bookishleigh]

Why you should not compare Trump to Hitler....


One is a psychopath and one is a con man

And the OP doesn't really deserve much more of an answer than a link as it is quite obvious by his responses that all he was looking for was a fight.
