Stop comparing Trump to Hitler

The thing is though, a lot of his policies are in line with some of the things Hitler had done.

Often people compare others to Hitler as a sort of generic insult... but that's not the case here.  Scapegoating a certain groups, extreme xenophobia, labelling people by religion... those are things Hitler did.  

So, why shouldn't we compare?  

Can't argue against the beginning. However, I'll repeat myself like a broken record- his current actions aren't as bad as Hitler's. Yes, he can easily take the crown for "douche to start a World War". I'm not arguing against that. A businessman as president is unpredictable- hopefully we won't see that day come

If you can't argue against the begining, I don't know why you think a comparison is unjustified.

Comparing does not mean saying they are the same thing.  Comparing is pointing out how they're similar.  And if you're agreeing that certain policy positions are similar, then I can't understand why we shouldn't compare.
