Still not seeing it. Nazis lined up people and shot them because of who they were. A literal economic machine was created to kill millions of people. But, hey, the president apparently mocked someone. Seriously? That is included in your comparison to nazis?

The Nazis took power in 1933, the Holocaust began in 1941 - that's eight years. > But, hey, the president apparently mocked someone. Seriously? That is included in your comparison to nazis? The Nazi ideology was based upon declaring people unworthy of the right to live - and disabled people actually were murdered prior to the Jews ("Aktion T4" and others). I'm not going to call Trump a full-blown Nazi, but the parallels between his Presidency and the years both prior and past 1933 are clearly present. Especially the part with fanatic supporters willing to commit murder and violence in the streets for their ideology. "Never again" especially means to prevent what led to the Holocaust in the first place.
- MockObject 5y agoThis is hyperbole that really goes against the spirit of this website. Trump was overwhelmingly popular in Israel, and notorious literal white nationalist Richard Spencer endorsed Biden in 2020.
