I am not arguing against that. Nor am I saying that one side is better than the other with their normal demonizing campaigns. There is, however, very good reasons that we do not casually throw out words like Nazi or fascist. It's not some caricature. People were systemically gassed and trampled in tightly packed and dark rooms. They were then cremated and their ashes were used as filler for highways. Those are the lucky one who were not experimented on or forced in labor camps where they would die from starvation and exhaustion. It's not just that these regimes were widely delusional, but they carried it out with such dedication and zeal that it was beyond understandable. People had only one right and that was "don't piss off the state or you are next." So yeah, let Trump be called the usual boogeyman insults. I'm fine with that, it's politics. He, however, is being lambasted for isolationism, not world conquest. Hastily reducing government for "fat cats", not creating a full authoritarian state. Walling people out, not in. Attacking Syria for using gas attacks, not gassing his own people. People can say he is hopelessly incompetent and systematically trying to destroy democracy (cognitive dissonance), but for our country's sake, don't let people use Nazi. Don't let them use fascist. It's not a game. It's not even politics. It's fundamentally and unequivocally wrong.

Did you not read the link I gave. It showed that Obama was called Socialist, fascist, Nazi and a crap load of other stuff from the conservative media. Your stance appears that this is only applied to Trump as if he is special in some way to negative press or even how he is typed or viewed. The thing is that he isn't special. Other presidents during their term was typed just as much depending on how threaten each side felt. During Obama term, conservatives flipped a switched and called him everything they could. Their whole agenda was to make sure they demonize him in such a way that he would fail a second term. When that did not work, they worked hard to make sure that Hillary was next since she was the front runner.
It's how the game is played and if you do not like it then you probably should not get involved. Politics has always been this way. A lot of people were saying this before Trump decided he wanted to be President. Trump never had any political experience and he felt that his little dirty business experience was enough to prepare him for the full onslaught. The thing is, you seem to act as if Trump is some innocent bystander but he plays just as dirty as any other politician. You only have to look at any of his attacks whether promoted or just off the cuff. He has lied and demeaned any and everyone he felt is getting in his way. Trump has shone he will use what every words, that will make his political base happy.
I do not see Trump as any different from any other politician, if anything he just seems ill prepared, sloppy and lazy. He doesn't appear he really want to do the job, he just want everyone else to bow to his whims. Being president is a tough job, we will see how well he mature during his first term.
