Delores. I don't know who she is, but anybody is an upgrade.

I've read the books and she is beyond cruel...honestly all Trump wants to do is build a wall...Umbridge is far worse 😖
@Fangirlsarah1996: "All Trump wants to do is build a wall"????? Seriously? And all Hitler wanted to do is create affordable housing for Jews.

@RandomUniverse: Are you seriously comparing Trump to Hitler?

@Padresfan19: Look I don't support him at all but I hate when people pull arguments out of nothing, it's not like he's going to "gas all the immigrants" or anything, he wants to get rid of ILLEGAL immigrants...a fact everyone seems to ignore on their quest to bash him 🙄

If you're going to bash him, think of something realistic...it just makes you look silly otherwise.
That seems to be the direction he is headed. The first clue was silencing his critics in the press by excluding hostile news organizations. That's straight out of Hitler's playbook. And Hitler rose to power on a "Let's Make Germany Great Again" theme. And scapegoating is another parallel. Hitler chose Jews and other minority groups as persona non grata, Trump is using immigrants to stoke the fear of the populace.

So, yeah. I am definitely comparing Trump to Hitler.

@RandomUniverse: To be fair, literally all those news organisations are doing is calling him a racist or a nazi or whatever...they could at least be mature about how they try and discredit him...at this point they've all started acting like goddamn Buzzfeed :/
@Fangirlsarah1996: Except for the ban that affected vetted [b]legal[/b] immigrants...a fact everyone seems to ignore on their quest to exalt Trump.

@bijouxbroussard: Then I feel sorry for said vetted legal immigrants.

But comparing him to Hitler is a little far.

Sure, call him an egotistical pig, but Hitler was an evil fuck...not much can come close to him.
@Fangirlsarah1996: There are parallels, from the very beginning the message was the same; Hitler told the German people that their country was being destroyed from within by foreign elements and Jewish people. With Trump, substitute illegal immigrants and Muslims and it's basically the same speeches. And just like attacks on Jewish people and "non-Aryans" increased then, so have physical attacks increased on people perceived to be Latino and Muslim here. This is provable. Trump's rhetoric has emboldened such people and made that okay again. People don't like the comparisons to Hitler because we know how that all ended. But if Trump can get away with suppressing any news sources that don't report favorably about him, where [b]are[/b] we headed ?
@Fangirlsarah1996: The reporting of the Times and CNN are fact-based and responsible journalism. They may be ugly facts, but they are the real facts. And the reality just isn't pretty. Any opinions or intentionally biased conclusions are clearly labeled as such in the editorial page.

Compare that to Trump's darling Fox News. There is no distinction between editorial opinion and facts. My take is Fox is an entertainment channel masquerading as news. It is biased and blind to the facts. And what floors me is that a large segment of the population can't see that Fox "news" is pure bullshit because they are hearing what they want to hear.

@RandomUniverse: I'll take CNN seriously when they stop using buzzwords, calm down and report the news like mature individuals...right now it just looks like they're trying to discredit him.

Fox news on the other hand never was news, plain and simple.
@bijouxbroussard: Well stated. And, unfortunately, chillingly true.
