We've made it! :)

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

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