Quote:Because he wants to deport illegals?

His rhetoric is extreme nationalism. Hostile verbal attacks on minority groups (Mexicans/Muslims) -- blaming them for the all the country's problems. The way he handled himself during the GOP primaries. Willingness to allow/endorse violence to advance political objectives. Created a mythology (made up bull manure) around his rise and background. Use of propaganda to promote false narratives.


Similarities don't mean he is the next Hitler. But I can't ignore them. His whole platform has been how everything is terrible and only he can fix it. Scarce on details other than "I'll fix it. Believe me."


Like I said though.. there are plenty of other areas which make him an awful candidate even if you choose to ignore all of this. Still his Svengali-like grip on the psyche of his supporters is pretty alarming since most of these people kick and scream they are not sheep.
