I had to deal with the aftermath. Maybe that's why I take this shit just a smidge more seriously than you do?
I think the reason many of us identify Trump with Hitler is because he uses similar tactics, rhetoric and so on. After all, history does repeat itself, sadly.
It's the association fallacy. I looked it up, because I know you guys really like naming fallacies.
A = Hitler
B = Evil
C = Tactics/Rhetoric
D = Trump
The Argument:
A is B
A is C
D is C
What people are mistakenly implying is that
D is B.
For that to be true, all C need to be B, but nobody is even trying to demonstrate All C are B. People just keep saying A is C. D is C. And A is B. But that says nothing about whether or not D is B. And D is B is what's really relevant.
