Could have swore that was going to say "worse than Hitler".
Imagine USA gets a system where people vote for what they want, not merely against who they don't want.
I don't remember Hitler shitting his pants during a press conference. Actually he seemed constipated most of the time.
And I don't think there were allegations of him being member of a pedophile ring.
I hate comparing Trump with Hitler, it almost seems a praise to the Austrian.
I don't really see a point in that comparison - These two people are evil on its own, there is no point in playing games on who is less evil in this regard. Also it is misinformation to be saying trump is worse than him, as you're forgetting about the genocide that he did - trump isn't yet at that point.
It is also important to bring in the fact that trump wasnt just a pedo, but a sex offender. Him being both doesn't make him worse than hitler.
I'm just joking, don't take this as any form of support for either. That's what my last point was about more or less, but my wording was not great
Say what you want, but at least Hitler wasn't a pedo, and the dude had some charisma while giving speeches.
He didn't rant on about sharks and batteries?
Apparently many US voters admire Hitler.
