Political Meme - Cartoon/Joke Thread...Part XXVIII

The point is unless / until we start seeing people killed, the incredible exaggeration via comparison is ridiculous.

To your point, I disagree with the assertion that any time someone in power disregards the law that's akin to mass-murdering millions of people, which is essentially what you're saying here. No one is being murdered in gas chambers or shot in the back of the head in front of a pit. While you can say 'yet', it's still true that it's NOT happening - and the comparison is an insult to the millions who suffered and died at the hands of the nazis.

The comparison is preposterous at this point as the continual comparisons to nazis, hitler, the Holocaust are quite frankly disgusting.

If things change, I'll happily call trump hitler 2.0 and rally against the evil, but at this point the comparison is, at best, hyperbole and an insult to those who actually faced that evil.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Yeah, this gets trotted out every time the left wants to exaggerate anything...

First, they came for the illegal immigrants, and I was ok with it because a country that can't control its borders is hardly a country (by definition). And all my immigrant family members came her legally and are respectful of their adopted country.

Then they came for the gang members and I was ok with it because I am not a gang member, and I don't want my fellow citizens subject to the violence of gangs.

Then they came for the drug dealers, and I was ok with it because I am not a drug dealer, and I don't want my fellow citizens victimized by drug dealers.

Then they came for the rapists, and I was ok with it because I am not a rapist, and I don't want my fellow citizens subjected to the rape.

Hmmm ... Never realized how wanting to have less illegal alien violent criminals who soak up social services makes one a Nazi.
