You make such sweeping assertions that I know nothing will change your mind about the conclusions you’ve drawn. But for the record, not all Dems are calling Trump a Hitler, they are not always playing the victim card, etc. It’s easier to believe that and then rail against Dems for doing so.

But let’s face it, saying that Mexico is sending America “rapists”, then adding that “some, I assume, are good people” is pretty offensive. That last part is pretty darn weak. What if someone said that Republicans (but not all) are rapists and some, one assumes, are good people. Offensive, maybe?

As for the fascist issue, in the last two days Trump as threatened to shut down NBC News, accuses the op-ed in NYT to be an act of treason and wants the newspaper to give up the name of the writer of the piece. Sounds like someone with fascist leanings would say, even if he is not likely to do anything about it. Curb all dissent. Call it fake. Believe only in him — he’s the only one who can make things better. Less Hitler but more Mussolini in tone.
