Part and parcel to a larger pattern of obliviousness.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I think you think their hyperbole is hyperbole at times when it isn't. And I wish you GREAT luck.

Funny you'd think that..since I've spent pages between snark trying to clear up that very misconception...which you entered the thread with and attributed to, apparently, anyone and everyone who ever made a trump/hitler comparison. Comparisons which you still have not seen fit to either acknowledge or deny.
You're exactly where you began, with all of your work ahead of you.

I disagree for the block. Although, I'm right where I started. I have no work ahead of me. I never had any work. I knew this was just wasting time heading into it.
My opinion is that the people doing the Trump - Hitler comparison, for the most part, are trying to have it two incompatible ways. Which is almost always the case when comparing someone to Hitler. That's why comparing things to Hitler tends to draw an eyeroll and a jerkoff motion from everybody but the people who don't like the person being compared to Hitler.

Jesus, I think the doomsday clock just moved forward a second.

Your opinion is uninformed, unsupported, and has been repeatedly demonstrated to be both wrong and inadequate.
My opinion, is that it draws an eyeroll from -you- because you cannot respond to the comparisons, but desperately need to believe that they aren't accurate, damning you in your own mind with the support, and now cover...you've given. I drew my information from this thread, directly responding to your own, actual, comments and positions. Now, I might be wrong..but I'd be wrong for the right reasons. Whereas you either have no reasons, or do not wish to elaborate upon them, beyond saying "didn't gas no jews" and that pile a lawn clippings you just keep telling us about.
Now, at first, it was a garden variety cognitive tic. Somewhere in the dozen or so pages of abject bullshit and douchebaggery since then it ceased to be a compulsion, and became intentional.

-and there wen't yet another opportunity to clear up any misunderstanding I had, by directly responding to the comparisons people were actually making, for example. / shrugs
So, here's the danger in referring to dismally simple conceptions of hitler and nazism. The notion that they were evil, for example..and that the thing that made them nazis, and evil, was gassing the jews and war. It leaves us blindsided to find that many accurate comparisons can be drawn between them and ourselves and our own leaders. We all imagine ourselves to be at least passably decent people. Intuitionally, that gives us a pass on being nazis. Anyone who compares us to nazis must be making absurd comparisons...because we're decent people.
Because of this, most of us will never have the Mitchell and Webb moment when we turn to each other and say "are we the bad guys?", at least not in the moment. I've been there, I understand.

If you picked a more comparable person to Trump than Hitler, you could take the holocaust and WWII stuff out of the equation, and maybe people wouldn't confuse your motives?

-opportunity passes us by, again, to respond to those comparisons ...........as if there aren't 16 pages of comparisons in this thread alone to respond to.
Instead of doing that, you babble about my "motives"...as though it would matter if I had "motives" or you could accurately identify them. The comparisons of trump to hitler would still be as accurate as they are even if I was a deep state provacatuer actively engaged in the #fake news front. How many times can you make the same mistakes in a single conversation?

I'm beginning to wonder if what wallym really needs is a good rock crusher, assuming he turns out to be more troll than dumbass.
