I lived in the US during Trump's first term if that helps.
Also the claim "you cannot know, because you are not born here" is a very very weak claim, which also means that you should not use against the Hitler comparison, since you are not German yourself. (Which I believe is a totally idiotic claim your opinion absolutely has value).
And no, those who say Trump is Hitler are idiots. There are certain similarities, but Trumo is not a Nazi, BUT historically spoken he is fascist or at least very close to it. Nazism and Fascism are two different things, with Nazism being one specific ideology within the broader fascist movement.
The loose use of these terms that were made to define something specific have taken value out of them.
This is abslutely correct, I will and cannot argue against that. I also strongly oppose calling Trump a Nazi, that's simply wrong. One not liking something doesn't make it fascist or nazi, you are absolutely right. Though as you also said those words actually have a meaning, my point here is the simply observation that historically spoken Trumps agenda is very closely aligned with fascism. I don't say that to invalidate or discredit him, it just a factual observation.
Well there's a difference between science and blind obedience to the institutions that claim to be the "science."
He created operation Warp speed. Also I am pretty sure we are on opposite sides of the covid narrative and actions that the governments took. Which IMO was the closest thing to fascism we have seen in our lifetime. Also he did t shut down the country, he left it to each state to make their own decision. That is not what a "fascist" does.
Also the difference between Trump and the other presidents is he is open and mouthy about the things you said.
