    Sorry, but cherry-picking some good quotes from trump doesn’t prove anything. I’m sure if you searched hard enough you could find equally “good” quotes from Hitler. You are using the same flawed logic (extrapolating from small amounts of data) that you’re accusing everyone else of.

    Optimism does not seem like a good defence against creeping fascism. What if you’re wrong?

      Trump has his own unique flavor of terribleness, but I want to smash the illusion that his goals and aims are exactly the same as Hitler. If you really despise his vision so much, wouldn’t you want to understand it and critique it as effectively as possible? I’m sick of seeing TRUMP IS HITLER because no matter how many times people say it, it’s not an accurate claim. Call my quotes ‘cherry picked’ but they are REAL.
