That is part of what I'm talking about with exaggeration. The Nazi comparisons are too much IMO.

I don't subscribe to the Times. I do read the Post. The closest I come to TV news is Colbert. If your comment in a MSM discussion about that particular exaggeration is intended to attribute it to the MSM, here's an article from the Post that puts the charge in perspective. It was an academic exercise evaluating the comparison. Its conclusion was the same is mine, that it quacks like something in the duck family but is not a duck. Seems to me that's exactly what the media are supposed to be doing.

Add all this up, and you get 26 out of a possible 44 Benitos. In the fascist derby, Trump is a loser.

If you can't see the Trump characteristics that provoke the comparisons with a tin-pot dictator if not a fascist, those 26 Benitos that he earned, you're not looking.

As for "first they came for," I hope that you, like me, are prepared to stand up for the Muslims and the journalists and other Americans that Trump has quacked about.
