Another similarity:
People are so fed up with the way things are, they will overlook a lot of things that would otherwise bother them in order to gain a few issues. Germans did that with Hitler. It is a point of how people tend to act like herds of sheep rather than individual, principled thinkers. That is not a statement for Trump people only. It is people in general. When the crowd gets frustrated, people turn into, well, herds, or mobs, or whatever similar word you choose.
It really isn’t about Trump more than it is about the turncoat politicians who have been promising solutions only to do the opposite once in office. They created the mob. Trump is the guy who happens to be there, is not “one of them” and is a forceful leader — so the herd follows. I am not sure we can blame anyone but the GOPe. Human nature is what it is.
But this election has nothing to do with Hitler, mass murder or his Nazi supporters. Zip. Comparing them to Trump and his supporters like the one individual did here, is ludicrous and really offensive to most folks.
It’s not complex and most fully understand what his comment was all about.
