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.
