Seems we only appreciate the words used to incite partisonship that support our side. We should all strive to be more bi-patisan
Strange, I didn't even notice it was a Hitler reference until you said something. I didn't realize that Furor was a misguided attempt at the word Führer until you just said something.
For the record, I am against commentary like that, drawing parallels to Hitler in that way. I do not mind analyzing the rhetoric of Trump and finding similarities between rising despots as several political scientists have done, but uninformed lines drawn between Trump and Hitler, or any political leader and Hitler, are not helpful.
