@oliver_schafeld "more like the other thing, though"... This is, again, the "Trump does some thing that Nazis also did" argument?
Like: So-and-so does X, Nazis did X, therefore so-and-so is evil!
If X is something harmless/beneficial, then this is a silly argument:
* The Nazis discouraged smoking
* The Nazis used certain political rhetoric like "let's make our country great!"
* The Nazis had nice innovations in film
* The Nazis had military parades
If X is something harmful, then it's a good argument:
* The Nazis committed one of the worst genocides ever
* The Nazis started expansionist wars
Conservatives sometimes make this argument, too: "you know who else banned guns? the Nazis!"
This is objectively terrible. reductio ad Hitlerum.
Trump hasn't started any wars, let alone expansionist or genocidal ones.
Don't get me wrong, I think Trump shouldn't call people vermin, of course, because that's like the lowest level on Graham's Hierarchy of Disagreement and it makes him look stupid.
When someone talks like a fascist it would seem a healthy response not to wait like he acts like one too.
The fascists started dehumanizing people verbally long before the large scale atrocities started. They attempted a coup ten years before they came to power.

It's a choice whether to learn from history or normalize it.
