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.

I don't think Trump is evil because he's like Hitler. I think they're both evil because of their behavior. Granted that Hitler's was extreme and Trump's isn't. You're acting as if I think Trump is evil because he uses Hitlerian tactics. I don't. I think Trump is evil because he's a racist who wants to ensconce his racism in national policy. I think he's evil because he's a sexual predator by his own admission.

I don't need Hitler to think Trump is evil. That doesn't, however, blind me to the parallels.

Did you vote for Trump? Are you trying to justify ex post facto a serious mistake?
