I completely disagree with Senator Fetterman. Democrats need to keep playing the Hitler/Nazi card against Trump and republicans.

American voters need to know exactly where democrats stand on the issues. They need to know how to spot neo-Marxism, and stop it in its tracks. Playing the Hitler/Nazi card demonstrates to voters where the democrats are, ideologically. This is a crucial step in order to secure a GOP victory in the 2026 midterms.

Democrats - keep playing the Hitler/Nazi card - - proudly. You got this!

We're counting on you. :D

The moment Trump stops doing the things Hitler did and saying the things Hitler said, I'll stop calling him Hitler.
Same goes for MAGA's.

As much as Trump can be said to resemble Hitler in the way he attacked various groups — Hitler had Jews and Gypsies, Trump has Muslims and migrants, it’s almost always bad to go Hitler. Despite his apocalyptic rhetoric, Trump is a milder sort of fascist type, more Franco - like. To be fair, I have compared Jan 6 to Adolf’s attempted beer hall putsch in Munich, and Trump’s suggestion that we “take out the families” of terrorists resembles the collective punishment the Nazis did in occupied Europe in response to bombings and assassinations. But as I have posted, Trump is more of a combo of Mussolini and Foghorn Leghorn, wanting to restore some previous greatness but unaware of how ridiculous he can look, splashing gold around the White House and holding cabinet meetings where his staff praise the Dear Leader, North Korea style.

We know who trump’s banner reminds us of:

Fraud Fetterman began praising terrorizing traitor trump two weeks before the election.

IMO the comparison isnt about the same level of power or evil.

It's about a similar talent of getting people to follow him, unquestioningly, reeled in, seeking to grasp power on his coattails, feeling special and superior, elevated ABOVE others as they're being told by TACO, and reveling in the 2nd hand power in deprecating and vilifying others..."they are special in his eyes." It's disturbing, as it should be, right?

And now that he's back in the WH, he is starting to wield that power autocratically, pushing his limits to answer to no one and using intimidation and threats...we'll have to see where that goes.

Daughter of Ukrainian immigrants, Katherine Brodsky is an author, essayist, and cultural commentator. Her articles have been published in Newsweek, WIRED, The Guardian, The Washington Post, Variety and others. Some may recognize her byline. Here she speaks my thoughts about the consequences of carelessly thriving on reductio ad Hitlerums.

It's not that I like Trump—I don't (his bombastic approach toward tariffs, antagonism of international partners, and treatment of Ukraine are among just a few of my most recent grievances). It's that I consider it to be a lazy, sensationalist, and manipulative comparison that stirs emotions, bypasses critical thinking, and ultimately damages the quality of public discourse.

[. . .]

When we casually throw around the Hitler comparison, we trivialize the industrialized slaughter of millions and the global devastation caused by that particularly monstrous figure. Worse, we shut down any possibility of a thoughtful, fact-based critique of today's political leaders. Instead of holding them accountable for their specific actions and policies, we reduce the conversation to cartoonish hysteria.

If the goal is to persuade others—or even simply to have a productive discussion—hyperbole is counterproductive. Imagine being someone who supports Trump or is on the fence about him. Once you hear the Hitler comparison, you're not likely to listen to anything else, right? Any legitimate critique that might have resonated is drowned out by outrage.

Trump is piece of shit, but he is not Hitler - that's just dumb.

I swear to god Americans have lost their ****ing minds.
Not you lot don’t have your issues……….

Trump is not Hitler and Republicans are not NAZI’s.

Acknowledging that is NOT the same thing as stating history has examples of human behavior that can be drawn upon as to teach us how to avoid pitfalls that have caused us harm in the past.

The examples within history that can be seen in Hitler and NAZIism are these:

That the answers to complex human problems are never in “strong men” politics with easy answers that promote hate and distrust of “the other” as the dumb, simple, responses to those complex questions that plague us.

That fascism is not a proper political response to anything. It makes things worse, not better.

That oligarchy bends towards fascism, as oligarchy believes in authoritarianism, They believe their money makes them the authority as, surely, they wouldn’t be as rich as they are if they weren’t the smartest people in any room they find themselves in. Therefore they believe that, being smarter than the “strong man”, they can control him and use him to meet their ends. They are always wrong in that.

So don’t get it twisted. No one of any good sense is saying Trump is Hitler. They are suggesting there are things in that part of our recorded history that we can learn from to avoid repeating our past mistakes that apply to this time.

We are repeating trends from our past that lead to economic catastrophe, another Great Depression, in its economic misery a world ripe for the exploitation of political “strong men”, the rise of actual -real - Hitlers, and a fall into another World War.

Fetterman is completely the opposite of what he campaigned as. I have absolutely no respect for him and I disregard pretty much everything he says.
 
Trump is not doing the things Hitler did.

It depends on what part of Hitler’s timeline you’re invoking.

He’s borrowing from early Hitler in his creating, in a collapsing republic, the further reduction of that republic, the creation of an all powerful chief executive, the public mistrust of the republic’s foundational pillars, the creation of “enemies of the state” that are the causality of all our troubles, etc. He’s even borrowing from some of Hitler’s language on these topics.
 
Ok, Trump is NOT Hitler.

What he is though is a massively vengeful, fecal, insecure, unloved and unloved fat turd of a human being that only the most simple-minded cultists would idolize.

Yeah, Hitler is regarded as the most evil man of the 20th century because of his language.
People were literally being murdered in concentration camps within weeks of Hitler coming to power. Trump has been President for almost 5 years and you come up with 'he occasionally uses similar language'.

So if Trump is Hitler, then where does that place people like Saddam Hussein, Assad, Khamenei, Kim Jong Un, Gadaffi, Amin, Ceaucescu, etc? Either they are not worse than Trump, which is an interesting stance, or they are worse than Trump, which would make them worse than Hitler and thus make Hitler not that bad.
 
Trump is not doing the things Hitler did.

He has been laying all the same groundwork and making some very chilling remarks about his intentions, and his minions are whispering stuff in his ear which trace directly to
Hitler's later goals.
You are in denial.

Coin a word that encompasses an egocentric authoritarian-prone agent of chaos who has alienated and reordered the world in less than nine months.

"etc" would include Pol Pot.

My wording is more basic and gutteral - yours more intellectual but just as accurate.

Hitler was killing people in concentration camps within weeks of coming to power.

Which of his minions are whispering to kill millions of American citizens?
