It's always tempting to compare your adversary to Hitler. It's a means of vilifying those who disagree with you. In this case the comparison fails because Hitler's Brown Shirts were an organized branch of the Nazi Party. They employed tactics developed by the Nazi Party and were assigned specific missions to disrupt specific organizations and events to intimidate the Nazi's opponents. Those attacking Trump rallies are, by and large, spontaneous mobs of thugs. Now, I have heard speculation that there is someone who has been funding their activities, providing transportation, etc, but I have yet to see compelling evidence. If this is revealed, I'd have to reassess my opinion.

Good point CPT Jack Durish I've heard/read some of the same reports, it seems that disruptive violence is one of the tactics of democratic party of those acting on behalf of the party .

SSG Jason Werstak - That seems to be the consensus of some of the reports I have read.

Second post on RP tonight comparing American politics/politicians to Hitler (first was Trump, now this).

Just because you don't like someone doesn't make them a genocidal dictator. The journalists writing these pieces are doing whatever is salacious to capture eyeballs, and aren't really helping us understand much.

I don't know about the Hitler reference, but I'm sure they're hiring the thugs that are violently protesting at Trump rallies.

SSgt Charles Freeman Agreed, when one looks beyond the headlines of the major media outlets they see the real truth. In one case, an outlaw motorcycle gang was hired to disrupt a Trump rally. Of course the "news" just said it was dissatisfied citizens.

SP5 Christine Conley I voted you down because you try to incite inflammatory emotions while trying to bully the opposing view.

It's so easy to use Hîtler to vilify your political opponents. It's also just plain cheap. I may not agree with the Dems, but disagreeing does not mean I have to be disrespectful.

SGT John Wesley The comparison with Hitler has been used by both sides in this election, I think there is some truth to both sides.
