There haven't been any political victory tours like the ones Trump is doing since Hitler's Germany. The article objectively points out that there will always be historical parallels, regardless of other similarities. However, there is a little concern to be had.
Have any of you listened to his speeches? They aren't even scripted. It's disturbing.

It's gotten to the point where so many Morons keep trying to stay on the "OMG TRUMP IS HITLER" idiotic tangent that if they try hard enough of course you will find "Parallels" if you train your brain to be stupid enough to think they matter.

One would think that eventually people would tire of being broken records, but I continue to be surprised.

This kind of stuff became embarrassing long ago. I wonder how long it will take for those on the other side to discover that continued implications that a person and by extension all supporters are racists is not a helpful future strategy when you need some of those people to come to your side.

Wow. I have never heard of someone compare Trump to Hitler before. These liberals have overused the Hitler comparisons. It is like the boy who cried Wolf. It loses its meaning. Our government isn't structured the same way as 1920s Germany is so it is literally impossible for Trump to become "hitler" if he tried anyway. You can cry, hug your illegal criminal friends at your playdoh safespaces all you want but it doesn't make him Hitler.

Yeah, he literally has made me nauseous from listening to him speak. Like during a rally, when he claimed that a judge with a Hispanic last name wasn't going to treat him fairly during the Trump University lawsuit. The American born judge.
It's too early for the Hitler rhetoric, though. He's not even in office yet, no one's going to take it seriously. It just sounds like hysteria from the left.

Judges aren't robots, but if I were Curiel I'd have recused just to avoid going through the spectacle of it. Let some guy with a less inflammatory last name have to deal with Trump. Originally Posted by Celista

For what it's worth, the site looks like a compendium of fake articles. If the OP ever tries to criticize someone's choice of source in the future, I would hope s/he would remember citing this disaster of language first. Originally Posted by TheOne01

Political trolling
There is the sad paradox of a world which is more and more sensitive about being politically correct, almost to the point of ridicule, yet does not wish to acknowledge or to respect believers’ faith in God

The white supremacists doing the HAIL TRUMP and the salute certainly didn't help in this matter. But there have been plenty of parallels. Running a campaign on fear of immigrants, rebuilding the economy through vague promises, and some nostalgic BS. Trump kept a book of Hitler's speeches beside his bed for awhile, and people are SURPRISED... or at least are defiantly in denial that they sound nothing like Hitler's populist speeches that wax on hate for immigrants, hate for the politically "opposed", German nostalgia of "better times", etc. Originally Posted by Colonel SnackyCakes

Trump doesn't appear to care about anything other than making himself richer. Even Hitler cared about Germany, or something.
If anyone's Hitleresque, it's these alt-right characters, like this Richard Spencer guy:
http://www.refinery29.com/2016/11/13...=read_more_end
Quoting nazi terminology, shrieking about 'children of the sun' and the white man's destiny to conquer, saying whites don't need other 'groups of people'...
Have fun with that crap America, they all think their time has come. Hopefully they're wrong.

So I guess the left is doubling down on the panic narrative
Way to go on learning absolutely nothing
I would have said that I need to start up an infowars.com type conspiracy nut website for the left, but it already exists and it's the mainstream press
