He said that going by how the complaint was described to him, the parent said Navarro told his students that Trump is Hitler. “I never said that. That would be historical sloppy thinking,” Navarro said. “What I’ve been teaching is there are remarkable parallels between Hitler and Donald Trump.” I think parallels is the same thing, though.

Luc 4,776 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I'd say a Holocaust scholar has every right to draw parallels between past events and current events. Isn't that the main point of history education anyways? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuMetal 68 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 comparing their rise to power is fair. we havent seen the end result of trump so you can fully equate the 2 but i dont think anyone is doing that really Upset the Established Order.

Dominic 11,922 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I agree there are allusions to Hitler but then you could say the same for any male leader that acquired power through fear but fundamentally they've two completely different ideologies. It's an unfair comparison really considering how different the socio-economics are of todays world and Trump has only just become 'a leader'. Trump also has limitations and an overseeing eye which Hitler did not. As for the OP, well considering the teacher has basically inferred the POTUS is parallel to Hitler I'm not surprised he has been suspended The hardest thing in this world is to live in it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melech 9,900 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 50 minutes ago, Currents said: So, maybe the comparison will lead to us thinking that Trump is nowhere near Hitler? Trump used the fear in Americans as a political tactic to an extent we haven't seen in modern history. We shouldn't be able to let him slide by without some critical analyzing. How come little Trumpsters are only anti-PC when it benefits them and their hateful ideology? The fact is this guy is a Holocaust scholar, I think he is inclined to educate his students on the matter using a comparison which is commonly brought up by millennials. The truth is a little Trumpster was pressed and reported him. The truth is that this comparison makes no sense. Trump is way more like other dictators than Hitler. Trump never will become like Hitler and USA is nowhere like Germany during the 30's Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melech 9,900 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 The main difference between Trump and Hitler is that Hitler talked about genocide before he was elected. Trump never called for one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if someone ACTUALLY like hitler comes along in the US?! No one is going to believe us when we NEED to make that comparison! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was Trump in jail and published a highly anti semitic book? Did Trump changed the declaration of independence of the US? Does he wants to create a 1000 years lasting empire? Is he planning a final solution? Did he declare himself to an dictator? Is he invading his neighboring countries? Did Trump call for a genocide?
