Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Why pick two of his better quotes to make your point? It just make your argument look weak.
What about the constant resist dog whistling? The "eating the dogs" stuff? The wearing proud boys colours?
? The whole point was to show that in some very important areas, Trump is the polar opposite of Hitler.
Admittedly, I haven't read everything on Hitler, but I am not sure he weighed in on the 'eating the dogs' stuff, nor the Proud Boys. Please re-read my comment and let me know if I am understanding you properly.
Sorry, but cherry-picking some good quotes from trump doesn't prove anything. I'm sure if you searched hard enough you could find equally "good" quotes from Hitler. You are using the same flawed logic (extrapolating from small amounts of data) that you're accusing everyone else of.
Optimism does not seem like a good defence against creeping fascism. What if you're wrong?
Trump has his own unique flavor of terribleness, but I want to smash the illusion that his goals and aims are exactly the same as Hitler. If you really despise his vision so much, wouldn't you want to understand it and critique it as effectively as possible? I'm sick of seeing TRUMP IS HITLER because no matter how many times people say it, it's not an accurate claim. Call my quotes 'cherry picked' but they are REAL.
