First of all, such Hitler hype has happened before, and been unwarranted. Steven Hayward, author of “The Age of Reagan,” recalls the rhetoric: Democratic Rep. William Clay of Missouri charged that Reagan was “trying to replace the Bill of Rights with fascist precepts lifted verbatim from Mein Kampf.” The Los Angeles Times cartoonist Paul Conrad drew a panel depicting Reagan plotting a fascist putsch in a darkened Munich beer hall. Harry Stein (later a conservative convert) wrote in Esquire that the voters who supported Reagan were like the “good Germans” in “Hitler’s Germany.”...John Roth, a Holocaust scholar at Claremont College, wrote: “I could not help remembering how 40 years ago economic turmoil had conspired with Nazi nationalism and militarism—all intensified by Germany’s defeat in World War I​—to send the world reeling into catastrophe. . . . It is not entirely mistaken to contemplate our postelection state with fear and trembling.”irst of all, such Hitler hype has happened before, and been unwarranted.

Precisely. The vitriol against Reagan was awful

[VanDeKoik]

Excellent point!

This is why the rhetoric these guys from the left to “true conservatives” on FR isnt working on the majority of people.

That is why we have Godwin’s Law. If you cant avoid it, then your argument was never that valid to begin with.

Reagan isn’t trump. And neither is Hitler.

But Trump zupporters remind me of Hitler’s early supporters. They cherry pick data or mostly just spew ad-hominem. Its like arguing with liberals. Acrually, it’s EXACTLY like arguing with liberals.
