Except Trump is not the Hitler figure, he's the American figure. The Nazis of today are inspired not by trump, but by the democrat created phantoms of who they say trump is, this article included. If no one ever called trump racist, we wouldn't have inspired alt right groups. They are the irony of the left's failed smears. Another thing Hitler did was turn children against their parents. The Nazi youth put society above family. You see more democrats disowning children for voting trump than the other way around. Bernie is a socialist. Trump has a big beautiful family.

Bernie is a social democrat. I swear the word 'socialism' has lost all meaning through repeated misuse.

  He says "democratic socialist". I would take your reversal of the phrase to be related to the democratic party, though perhaps I'm reading too much into it? Even then he's called himself a socialist without any qualifiers before: "When I ran for the Senate the first time, I ran against the wealthiest guy in the state of Vermont. He spent a lot on advertising — very ugly stuff. He kept attacking me as a liberal. He didn’t use the word ‘socialist’ at all, because everybody in the state knows that I am that." politifact has some nice analysis on it: http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2015/aug/26/bernie-sanders-socialist-or-democratic-socialist/ http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2015/aug/26/...

    I've kind of proven my own point there haven't I, by not even remembering correctly how Bernie described himself!

      I always took his qualifier as distancing from himself from the dictatorships that usually implement socialism. Most Americans think the economic and political system are the same thing. History has shown that to be somewhat true in practice, though logically they are not tied together.
