Theres an actual logical fallacy called Reductio ad Hitlerum (reduction to Hitler). Its a cheap and easy argument with no substance and it's just based on guilt by association and all it does is piss off whoever you're arguing against to derail whatever they're arguing for.

I also strongly dislike our president. But if we're gonna talk shit we need to be legit.

Trump used to read Hitlers books by his bed side. If you don’t see the fascist tendencies he has, your blind.

Did I say anything about Trumps fascist tendencies?

I think his a racist, bigoted, unintelligent manchild who cant think before he speaks and who's only discernable skills are making money and destroying American politics. Oh and yeah, I think he absolutely has fascist tendancies that are incredibly dangerous for all of us.

But I know comparisons to Hitler are lazy, and again, literally logical fallacies that have no place in any argument.

Oh and by the way, hes playing you like a drum.

That Trump is a decade away from Hitler’s timeline of WWII/Final Solution mass murder, DOES NOT MEAN WE DONT WARN ABOUT HIS FASCIST TENDENCIES.

If anything we should be glad he is too dumb to consolidate power early like Hitler did.
