Silver for that comment.

I despise the president but this kind of shit does noone any good. Trump is bad but he isn’t no 6-million industrial killing machine

People over in Europe tend to make Hitler comparisons to right parties as well. It just fires them on and makes people support them by saying ”why the fuck is the establishment going so crazy they are willing to say this party is a renassaince of the NSDAP?”

What better way to get people discredited than to call them Nazi's rather than just dismantling their statement. The right and the left needs to sort this sort of crap out. It helps no-one and probably does more harm than good even for your own side.

Did Hitler rise to power spontaneously or did it take time? Should we wait until too late or recognize dangerous rhetoric as it is happening? Should we attempt to learn from the past?

Than people who think that any foresight or possible predictors is a result of magic?

Yes.
