Bryan Halstead Maybe you should... Or at least... Provide the tiniest bit of substance behind that.
The Nazis aimed not at separation, but extermination. This is true, but only beginning in 1941. Before that, the used immigration as their method of removing Jews, and camps to encourage this immigration. Child detention centers, some of which where once the Chinese concentration camps, in America, during WW2, in an attempt to discourage immigration, is now a factor... and certainly her sure American Immigration policy is designed to keep out a certain group of people, much as the Nazis to remove a group already there.
Trump, as a presidential candidate explicitly made appeals to violence during his campaign.
Trump's well documented use of dehumanizing language is another clear similarity to the early stages of Nazi rule. He caters to a particular demographic of unhappy voters, as did the Nazis. After all, his "America First" rally cry was the motto of Nazi friendly Americans in the 1930s.
Nazis literally descended on Charlottesville, while screaming, "blood and soil", the same racist slogan as their counterparts in Germany.
The recent executive order making administrative law judges political appointees subject to executive power cannot be seen as anything less than an attempt to bring the courts in line with the administration's political ideology. The Nazis called it coordination, as they sought to co-op government and private organizations.
John Fitzgerald, a GOP Congressional candidate in California, stated live on the radio that," everything we've been told about the Holocaust is a lie." He went on to receive 23% of the primary votes cast, making him the official Republican candidate of the House of Representatives. The GOP endorsed him, then retracted that endorsement. This is not an isolated event. An Illinois, Holocaust denier Arthur Jones won the Republican primary for the State House. The most prominent conservative Challenger for Republican Paul Ryan's house seat from Wisconsin is a white nationalist an anti-semite. In short, actual Nazis are running for office in America and some are winning.
I could go on. Read your history. Nazi Germany did not become what it did with a snap of a finger. It happened slowly and by degrees.

Bryan Halstead Ya know what is a big part of educating yourself. Allowing for the possibility that someone else, other than you, might actually have a valid point. Don't talk to me about educating myself, if your being so closed minded that, you can't even address the factual historical parallels that were given to you.
Also, false dichotomies don't really work with me. I just called them out. You're putting words into my mouth in order for you to have an argument. If your argument is valid, then you can argue it on the merits alone.
Obama did not announce and publicly glorify, government sponsored human hunting parties, for nonviolent illegal immigrants, breaking out all over the country. He did not publiclly call them all rapists and murderers. He did not say that they come from shit hole countries. Obama did not leverage their children to get them to stop coming. He did not Institute policies that made the situation worse. He did not tell border patrol to break the law. Again... Could go on and on... 😉
Also, I never really got you guys always waving that flag of " Obama deported more people than Trump". You do understand that Trump has been president for less than 3 years and Obama was president for like 8, right?
