Well here is a story that makes me grateful to be a white guy. The guy in this story was born in Michigan, raised in the United States, served in the Marines, and is a veteran of Afghanistan. The police were holding him on some minor trespassing charge, and then handed him over to ICE.

He talks the same. He attacks rivals, he scapegoats multiple minority groups, he attacks the free press.
I wish more people WOULD equate him to Hitler.
Now is it harder for him to do the same thing with the system we have set up? That is a better argument. But the fucker is trying everything he can to destroy our institutions and that cannot nor should be ignored.
The only way he does not do what Hitler does is participation.
I have no doubt that if our Constitution were not there, he'd make a great dictator.
He is attacking our FBI constantly, even those Republicans in the FBI. The guy is a despot wannabe. PERIOD.
Just because he has not completely destroyed our checks and balances so far does not mean long term, our institutions cannot be destroyed.
I make no apologies nor do I have the slightest bit of hesitation in saying he'd become a dictator if he has the chance.
Get back to me when he invades Poland and starts building extermination camps.
Boru Give him time.
Hitler started slow by just detaining the "undesirables" in internment camps.
You already have those.

Hitler moved very fast. He became Chancellor in January of 1933. By July of that year, he was able to vacate the citizenship of those he considered to be undesirable.

I don't disagree. But the discussion has turned toward comparisons between Trump and Hitler. Hitler was a fast moving homicidal fascist. Trump is a wannabe fascist in the way that most people want to be a fascist.

I really don't think there is any damned difference between a wannabe or a successful monster, if you ignore the wannabe, fast or slow, they can do severe damage. Time would be the only difference if the wannabe is ignored.
And it is nonsense to say that everyone wants to be a fascist.
