Yes, exactly that one. Probably the most used app on my phone.

Godwin's corollary is that comparisons to Hitler also might make sense. :-)

Yeah, but in this case, it doesn't make any.

I think I clearly stated that we all have "female" and "male" sides. :-)

Anyway, nice talking to you. You seem willing to think outside the box, that is a good quality. :)

It actually does. The key points for the election campaign is the same at the early campaign Hitler had. Restore the pride of Germany. Restore German industry. Blame an outgroup. There is also pretty good overlap in his 1933 speech. Politically, who knows. Trumps political position is: elect me and I will figure it out later. And that actually is the core of fascism, handing power to the strong leader.

Trump is a caricature of a wannabe fascist, the spineless variant that fucks up the world by accident. Which is not entirely unthinkable as his resorts and Trump Tower will be jihadist targets. Only God knows what will follow. Hopefully not missile launches.

In direct comparison he is much more in the line of Mussolini, Berlusconi, Milosevic and their like. We certainly have comparison material here in Europe.

I didn't want to end my participation in this discussion on a negative note, but this reply is so ironic it hurts.

A person who advocates for a more welcoming community and wishes for objective moderation introduces a divisive topic (US election) and goes on about it; despite having been personally asked by a moderator to not do that [1].

There's a reason why Godwin's law exists - it points out that comparisons to unrelated, emotionally loaded topics are not arguments - just diversion. Fascism and Hitler are just the most popular ones to use. Nobody cares about actual meaning of nazism and fascism - it's just an emotional blindfold, frequently used by media to slander and for clickbait. Why don't we leave US election discussion to US citizens on forums devoted to politics.

Wow this thread is off the chain.

Trump is the only GOP candidate that doesn't want to gut so called Entitlements, doesn't support trade deals that don't benefit the US worker, thinks US bases in Europe and Japan etc are a waste, and there are other positions that the avg Joe agrees with.  I'm all for closing bases esp since we can have a Carrier Strike Group just about anywhere at anytime.  I voted for him in the AZ primary cause I was a registered Repub from voting for Ron Paul previously.  Not that I agree with him on a number of items but I feel that way about all the candidates.  Also he would be the 1st president that happens to be in the WWE Hall of Fame and that must mean something!!!! This election sucks if you ask me.  #DeezNuts2016

I thought it was clear that this Hitler was refering to the Godwin's law already - just look at the rest of the post :)
