No offense, but this line generates to biggest *eyeroll* of all time. These morons know exactly what they're saying when they use the analogy. There's no "But they mean the version of Hitler from this date and not the genocidal one". Come on. Let's not even try this.

No. This is Dope thinking that he absolutely knows what's in the mind of others that he dismisses as morons and doesn't really listen to what they are saying.

It's been stated over and over on these boards that most people are comparing Trump now to the earlier years of Hitler and his path of gradual implementation of fascism. It's been stated often enough that it doesn't need to be reiterated in every single post.

For example, a post of mine from a year ago (admittedly I'm not a frequent poster):

Heck, I would argue that even Hitler himself wasn't always a "literal Hitler" in the sense that I think it was meant here. It depends what era of Hitler you are talking about.

Hitler 1930 presented a different face than Hitler 1942. Most of the Hitler comparisons for Trump I would say have been people comparing him to Hitler's rise to power, using the same "playbook", having the same type of aspirations. Not that he is (yet) committing all of the same atrocities and (yet) commanding the same level of power. But moving in that direction in a way that makes many of us very uncomfortable.
