Are you suggesting Trump is like Nazis or ISIS? Can you point out Trump's most Nazi/ISIS like action?

  Do people no longer distinguish between "bad" and "atrocity"? Like seriously, comparing Trump to ISIS or Hitler is absurd hyperbole. We can agree he has some fascist tendencies, but it's a big step from there to equating him with one of the worst fascists of all time responsible for spearheading a genocide, or to a group that openly wants to conquer the world and subjugate more than half of humanity. If you can't acknowledge these comparisons are hyperbole, then I can't help you.

  He's on tape saying that women will let you do anything when you're rich and famous. That's certainly a crude thing to say, and an unhelpful attitude toward women. However, you may not be aware of this, but both the Nazis and ISIS did, and said, things that were far worse. Is it so much to ask that you restrict yourself to saying things that are true? If you said that "Donald Trump has repeatedly said things which are contrary to the ideal of treating men and women as equal" then you'd be stating a simple and defensible fact. When you go to extreme and perverse lengths, like equating the former with "Trump is like a Nazi" then you're just willfully engaging in empty partisan rhetoric which is obviously untrue. Ironically, that's a claim that could be made against Trump. The hysterical Trump critics aren't so far from Trump himself.

Please don't take this thread further into political hell. At least the parent comment had some connection to the topic, not that it said anything substantive. Going full un-hinge is, to quote my son when he was little, "what we not do".
