>...Trumps and ISIS....
I know election season can make us all a little crazy towards the 'other team', but are you seriously putting Trump in the same camp as ISIS?
Hitler, Nazis, etc. have been used so often in the past 50 years by all sides that it is easy to brush it off as empty rhetoric. But if the left has become so blind in their hatred towards Trump, that these comparisons can be made without a second thought, it is hard to take anything you say seriously.
I do agree with your comments up to that point, and apologize if I misinterpreted the point of the last paragraph.

- Joof 10y agoIts a bit too far, I agree. His right wing authoritarian base is a bit terrifying though.

- zAy0LfpBZLC8mAC 10y agoI am not taking a position on that, but have you asked yourself under which circumstances you would accept a comparison with Hitler as valid? Or do you think that something like Hitler could never happen again, and therefore, the comparison cannot ever by appropriate again? If so, why?
- runamok 10y agoI think the Hitler comparison is more as a very persuasive orator and the contents of his speeches (blaming the foreigner/other for all your society's ills) rather than his more notable sins like the holocaust.
