I keep being surprised how people can say that. "He is no Hitler, he did not kill 6 million Jews!"

Hitler got into power in 1933, the first massacre on Jewish people happened six years later in 1939, the industrialized and systemic killing of KZ-inmates did not start until 1941.

People don't compare him to Hitler because they believe he already killed 6 million Jews, they compare him to Hitler because of the clear parallels between 1932, maybe 1933 Hitler and Trump, as well as the parallels between the fascist MAGA cult groups and the various extremist groups of the NSDAP.

People aren't (just) afraid of Trump because of what he did, but of what he might do, if he keeps following those parallels.

It's not (mainly) a condemnation of his past and present but a warning to heed BEFORE even the people saying "He's not killed 6 million people." can no longer say that.
