Not really. Trump has suggested doing to Muslims what Hitler did to the Jews. He wanted them to wear something to identify them as Muslims for **** sake. He's exploiting tensions to gain power, and dehumanising a whole class of people.

You have to be really ignorant to not see why people compare them, or just determined to bury your head.


You are just telling lies.

Lie number 1 addressed: Trump has not said that they have to wear anything.
Lie number 2 addressed: Hitler wanted to remove Jews from German lands, even if you swap Jews for Muslims, its still not what Trump wants, he ha called for a temporary pause on Muslim immigration (the ones already in the US are not effected), not at all the same.

Don't just take your news from The Guardian, watch his full speeches.

History is repeating itself, and if its anything to go by these guys will end up losing and will be looked back at in the same way we look at the NAZIs now.

Right... except I didn't actually say anything of the sort? I said that stripping people of their fundamental rights (tracking them in a database, warrantless searches, surveillance of specific buildings - all things Trump has suggested) is a slippery slope and it's how the Nazi Party got started.

He wanted them to wear something to identify them as Muslims for **** sake - Nope, lie, HE HAS NOT SAID THAT.Hitler wanted to remove Jews for German lands, even if you swap Muslims for Jews, its still not the same, Trump just wants a pause on Muslim immigration, Muslims already in the US are not effected. Not similar at all. Just a silly leftist argument where anything that is vaguely similar to anything Hitler did makes someone the next Hitler, ridiculous.

Don't just get your news form The Guardian and Owen Jones, watch his actual speeches.
This is due to the Brexit campaign and its relentless negativity.

In peacetime the Nazis stripped the German Jews of their German citizenship, making most of them stateless. When has Trump proposed to do that?

These leftists and socialists are out of control. Yet another example of your typical leftist resorting to Nazi style techniques to try and silence opposition.

Hopefully a full investigation of leftist organisations will follow.

Oh please, let's not act like right wing morons are not out of control too, especially after the death of Jo Cox. This finger pointing at the left from the right and vice versa needs to stop; all radicals are as bad as each other.

He hasn't and there is no such proposal on the agenda, people who compare Trump to Hitler are largely a mixture of terrorist sympathisers who wish to create their own victimhood identity and progressive-left extremists who want to remain relevant in a world growing increasingly tired of their BS.

The right in Europe and the west is becoming one of the most popular political movements of modern times. The AfD in Germany, the Freedom Party in Austria, Donald Trump in the US, UKIP in the UK and the Front National in France should be a stark reminder to those on the left that progressive politics needs to address the big talking points, but instead, this failure to acknowledge pungent issues like immigration is leading to this mass abandonment of social progress and creating a new-age of intolerance and hate. I am worried. This new appreciation for divisive politics and political isolationism needs to be tackled, but condescension and blind-delusion from progressive politicians is ruining the fabric of western society, and allowing right-wing regimes to gain ground at unprecedented pace.

Why some people pledge allegiance to political ideals without acknowledgement or debate regarding their consequences on all groups is nothing short of infuriating. People should combine the best of the left and the best of the right so we build a utopia cemented by common-sense and rational. Idealism from the left and divisiveness from the right is a result of sheer disillusionment.
