    Why pick two of his better quotes to make your point? It just make your argument look weak.

    What about the constant resist dog whistling? The “eating the dogs” stuff? The wearing proud boys colours?

      ? The whole point was to show that in some very important areas, Trump is the polar opposite of Hitler.

      Admittedly, I haven’t read everything on Hitler, but I am not sure he weighed in on the ‘eating the dogs’ stuff, nor the Proud Boys. Please re-read my comment and let me know if I am understanding you properly.

        Sorry, but cherry-picking some good quotes from trump doesn’t prove anything. I’m sure if you searched hard enough you could find equally “good” quotes from Hitler. You are using the same flawed logic (extrapolating from small amounts of data) that you’re accusing everyone else of.

        Optimism does not seem like a good defence against creeping fascism. What if you’re wrong?
