Terrible Godwin flamebait. Not disappointed, merely amused and surprised. If you can not make a statement about a politician without invoking Hitler and dictatorship, you should really reconsider speaking up.

Indirectly you are calling Trump voters Nazi's. That is pretty damaging to debate and to democracy.

First calling Trump right, then portraying him as a mastermind capable of murdering millions of people, is juggling the very same demagogic tricks you so despise. There is no need to demonize someone, when you can factually, and calmly, attack their xenophobic economy-damaging proposals.

This is fighting fire with fire.

I don't understand this "You called me nazi-like so your arguments are invalid" argument. Clearly, in some situations the comparison is apt. Situations in which a potential leader is using the fear of the "other" to gain power is textbook Nazi and/or fascist behavior.

That would make everybody Nazis forever. Different groups have different outgroups.

The 'otherness' in this regard is specifically with respect to religion/race/nationality, making the Nazi comparison even more apt.

Just saying "the other political side will be terrible for our country" is not fascism, because yes, everybody does that.
