hitler: i wanna kill six million jews and i'll shut down the government if you won't let me.
democrats: no.
hitler: i'll give you some of the crap that you had before that i took away from you, but just for a little while and then i'll take it away again.
democrats: no.
hitler: okay, and some hamberders.
democrats: no.
hitler: you're not compromising!
democrats: we don't care what you give us, you can't kill six million jews. by the way, what you're offering sucks. but even if it didn't suck, NO!

i call bullshit on godwin's law. comparisons of trump to hitler are appropriate... apart from which i was making an analogy that didn't even require a direct comparison of the two men, only of the concepts being spouted in the dialogue. but i still call bullshit on godwin's law.

@genessa "Although deliberately framed as if it were a law of nature or of mathematics," Godwin wrote, "its purpose has always been rhetorical and pedagogical: I wanted folks who glibly compared someone else to Hitler to think a bit harder about the Holocaust."
Trump, although a nationalist demagogue, is not on the level of Hitler.
@Paul4747 i have not glibly compared trump to hitler, at least not here. (i have compared them elsewhere, but also not glibly.) i AM thinking hard about the holocaust, and especially about how hitler and his henchmen prepared the public to accept it.
trump doesn't have to be on the level of hitler, whatever that means, to create a disaster, even another holocaust, the holocaust didn't start with gas chambers. it started with a path we're already ON. i am not being glib or thoughtless at all. i am recognizing history repeating itself. oh, the details are different? oh, hitler was worse? irrelevant. the comparison would be apt, had i made it. this particular post did something different, actually.

He is the reincarnated hitler - he must be removed before his concentration camps are extended and his ss troops declare martial law!!!!!!!
