That's your prerogative, but you should at least understand that when people bring it up they're not comparing the current Administration's policies as being NaziHitler circa 1938, but NaziHitler circa 1929.
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.
People are right to be troubled by the gradual descent into illiberalism we're experience in the U.S., and indeed many other countries.
Except there is no gradual descent into *anything*. liberals are upset because many of the policies that used to favor liberals and give them a structural advantage are being redone or removed. For example: USAID. How great it is to be a left wing NGO that espouses left wing policies and employs left wingers be fully funded by...the American taxpayer! How nice. Well, that's done with now. liberals are upset because their gravy train has come to a (rightful) end.
That doesn't make people who use the wrong label "morons," and I think you do yourself a disservice in not trying to understand what points are actually being made.
Except that I've read the same people make the same points over and over again and the nuance credit that you're giving them...really isn't something they've earned.
Tell you what. If one of them actually comes up with something I will read it and comment on it. Not a screengrab of something somebody else wrote, their own work.
