Like I expected, everyone here says that nobody should be compared to Hitler. A lot of people seem to think that Hitler was the devil himself, that he was the worst leader in history, that every single thing he did was bad...
But Hitler was just a president. Yes, he started a world war and he killed millions of people. But a lot of kings and presidents did things that were even worse. And a lot of people would have done things even way worse than these, but they luckily never got the power to do it.
There were enough things Hitler has done that were actually good for the people and the country.

So if someone compares Trump to Hitler, that doesn't mean he's saying Trump is pure evil, but it means that Trump's regime has some worrysome similarities with the regime of a dangerous dictator, and that we need to be careful so that he doesn't take things too far.

I do not think you realize how much the context is different from what happen in Germany after the first world war defeat (which was actually not really a defeat but anyway). Even without comparing Trump to Hitler, the context is totally different... Everybody can find similarities between any democracies or situation out there and any dictatorial regime if you really want to spend time on it...

Comparing the US current state and Germany's situation (and then Hitler regime) is just completly out of place imo.
