Possibly. Possibly.

It's not comparable to the end state yet, but I'm pretty sure Hitler didn't start there. Causes for concern might be things like medicating children without consent, or holding them in conditions that could be detrimental to health.. both of which are happening now.

That's because conservative culture is propaganda. Their most successful media personalities are wingnut radio and Fox News opinion hacks.

His administration is not working the kids to death or mass murdering them. Don't get me wrong, its horrible, but not comparable to holocaust or WW2, both of which Hitler brought upon the world.

What we really need is to stop judging people. Addiction is NOT moral weakness. It's a disease, and it needs to be treated as such.

I wouldn't go so far as to say that. Trump maybe a horrible president, but he certainly isn't Hitler.

Eh? Sorry if I missed the mark entirely. I was just agreeing (I think).

Northern and urban areas tend to vote more liberal, but those quantified differences are only a few percentage points. Numbers like 53% / 48% compared to 49% / 51%. This in itself does not establish widespread or profound differences in bigotry. Rather indicates the opposite.

Here's hoping, then. So far, no one else has answered my query.
