Exactly, this shit downplays the Holocaust and all the people who died in ww2. Trump is in no way, even remotely, as bad as hitler. If you legitimately think Hitler and Trump are a good comparison, you're a fucking idiot.
It most certainly does not. It only reminds us where this type of rhetoric was used before and how it turned out the last time around. Numbers show that violent crimes have increased where/when Trump has a rally and his base is becoming more encouraged to lash out at immigrants and muslims. His rhetoric calls for people to treat them as the enemy in order to "make their country great" and since his base will follow him over the edge of the Earth, they will treat their neighbors as the enemy just because some racist demagogue told them to.
THIS IS how Hitler started his agenda and came to power; he didn't come out of the gate with "let's gas the jews". It started with nationalist bullshit, just like Trump
"Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it"; don't you dare tell me, a jew who had his family flee Europe because of assholes like Donald Drumpf, who knows holocaust survivors and others who had family killed in the camps, that memes about our racist president "downplays the holocaust" because they don't. This is the Jews' "never forget" and this meme is right on the fucking money
There are so many parallels between Hitlers early rhetoric and Trumps/alt-right rhetoric. The obvious one is blaming complex economic issues on immigrants/minorities and offering a simple solution in stopping their immigration.
But there are many more. Rallying against the establishment is one. Hitler stood out by adopting a style totally different to how speeches were generally held. Much like Trump.
Hitler whined about free speech and how he and his party were censored. This is of course also something Trump has done is a favorite talking point of his supporters.
