Let's not mention his misogyny. If any man would condone the absolute discustiing way he treats women, well I hope you think of your mother , sister, wife, or gf.

Oh give me a break, this entire forum is based on objectification lol

😁, not sure if I agree with that. However, none of us here are running for President

As a Transsexual woman I could NOT vote for a man who wants to add a conservative to the Supreme Court, over turn Gay Marriage, and has the temper of a 5 year old. Is Hillary the perfect candidate? NO but she at least stands for LGBT rights (she has evolved), would not put someone on the Supreme Court who thinks the Bible is the only thing important when making social judgements and has Bill Clinton whom I think is one of the best Presidents we have ever had.

Though I disagree with both on some issues I could not in good conscious sleep knowing this man has his finger on the red button or dealing with other countries one on one. I do however think he would be a good deal maker with trade etc but he just scares me.

As a Trans woman I am Team Hillary!

he did indeed make that comparison and it was patently ridiculous. Comparing anyone in the modern day to Hitler is hyperbolic, fear-mongering, and absolute crap.

Look I agree it's hyperbole but the problem is that it's worryingly close to the mark

Hitler was a charismatic egotist who played on the fears and insecurities of the far right and targeting minorities as the problem during a difficult time for the world and when given too much power ran amok

On the other hand Trump currently is just a charismatic egotist playing on the fears and insecurities of the far right and targeting minorities as the problem in a difficult time for the world who as of now doesn't have any real power.

If he gets power he may well be utterly benign - the concern is that if he get power he may not be benign!

I don't know about you but I'd rather not find out either way. I doubt he would turn into Hitler but if you look at his statements there's a possibility he could turn into something just as bad in a different way
For me the thing that was most worrisome was his statement that he would just keep spending and if they ran out of money he'd do what he's done in the past and make a deal - in other words he'd send the US bankrupt and rely on the assumption that the rest of the world couldn't afford to let the US economy collapse - he's the exact opposite of a fiscal conservative - he's effectively a high 20 something college chick maxing out her daddies credit cards and hoping he'll bail her out of trouble.

The only time in the last 50 years the US was in surplus was 2 years under Bill Clinton so whilst Hillary creeps me out a bit I'm going to make a guess that she'll at least try not to send the world into the next great depression.

People shouldn't compare Trump to Hitler but they definitely should point out he's a dangerous individual who should be given absolutely NO power whatsoever.

I don't like him, but just as bad in a different way? Hitler wrote Mein Kampf eight years before he became Chancellor, so the idea that he was just a populist and gave no indication as to his deep-seated beliefs is not accurate (it's true some people thought he was a buffoon who was bluffing, but he was actually quite clear in his beliefs).

In Mein Kampf Hitler made many references to exterminating enemies, and his enemies were often described in racial terms. He even talked about gassing Jews, though he discussed gassing 15 or 20 thousand Jewish "traitors" (traitors in scare quotes for obvious reasons). In other chapters he discussed the desire for lebensraum and an expansion of German territory through conquest to the east. So the outline of his program was there. The mistake was to not believe he meant what he said, but there is very little relation between the things that Trump and Hitler have said. Trump is an isolationist, where Hitler openly discussed conquest. If you don't believe me, read a couple of chapters of Mein Kampf.

I understand the comparisons of Trump to Hitler in terms of his rhetoric or his ability to whip up the public, but the idea that there are deeper parallels between the two seems absurd to me.

I know you say at the end of your post that you don't think the comparison should be made, but I think most of the what you write is a comparison.

Then why the rubbish about Hitler? The USA is not in economic meltdown, your territory has not been occupied and changed by external powers, you are not obliged to render half of your national income to Mexico, Canada and the Caribbean, you have not lost Hawaii and the Pacific Islands to foreign powers....for heaven's sake, compare Trump to Americans who went before him, be it Batman, Davy Crockett, Paul Revere, John Wayne or Johnny Carson- or William Jennings Brian, Ross Perot, or whichever President takes your fancy. Judge America on American standards, the country with a Constitution and a system of government that has held strong for 240 years and- believe it because it is true- is the envy of the world.

WOW, look at all the Professional Turd Slingers. I'll start laughing when words are mixed with Hitler, German, Germany, Serbian Nazi, NAZI's, Mexican Immigration and Trump. The world is not a perfect. There are mean and nasty people who live here and if you want to stick your dick in their face, go for it.
