Pretty sure if Trump was anything like Hitler, he'd be mowing down protestors at his rallies

Wasn't part of his playbook to get votes; that came after he found power. Trump's antics at this stage in the election style mirrors that of Hitler's at the same stage. But you know what they say about objects in motion...

Sure they do. I must've missed the parts where Trump has already 1: attempted a coup of the US government (see Hitler's Beer Hall / Munich Putsch) and 2: has been one of the leaders of a radical opposition party, during which time he's had over a decade to hone his and his party's racist messaging and propaganda prior to seeking the highest office in the land, which is the stage Hitler was at prior to running for Chancellor of Germany. Trump just got into politics about 5 minutes ago, and he's leading in the primary of a party whose establishment wanted to nominate anybody BUT him for president at the beginning of the primary season.
By the way, as a side note of irony, Hitler himself was in fact an "undocumented immigrant" for many years in Germany after he had terminated his Austrian citizenship, and was only able to run for German Chancellor because a member of his party instated him as an administrator to the Reichstrat, making him a citizen of Brunswick, Germany the year prior to the 1933 elections. That's like a Canadian getting into US politics a decade ago and then trying to run for President (*cough* Cruz *cough*).
Trump is American born and bred all the way, and he didn't need to stage a coup (Hitler) or shut down the government (Cruz) to get to where he is today. Hate on him all you want, but Donald Trump ain't no Hitler, or even a Mussolini.
