Trump, Hitler, and equating things that are vaguely similar in some aspects

Thanks for saving me some keystrokes. Well said, and more succinct than I could have hoped to be.

Unfortunately, privilege blindness and casual bigotry – including amongst those who don’t explicitly support Il Douche – have played a large part over the last several years in downplaying the urgency of the threat of right-wing populism (and its eternal fellow traveller, bigotry). As I noted above in my reference to Niemoller’s poem, anyone who does that is a naive fool at best.
