Personal - one of my friends grew up in a crazy-religious family where they'd literally burn "evil" books every week.

Politics - No, Trump is not the same as Hitler, but there are valid comparisons or parallels; see the videos of his supporters confusing Hitler quotes for his (then again, Trump himself tweeted a Mussolini quote)




> see the videos of his supporters confusing Hitler quotes for his

I loathe Trump, but that trick works with just about everyone. You take some famous person (Richard Dawkins is a favourite) and find some Nazi / Communist quote and create an image macro.

I'm mildly surprised a troll hasn't had t-shirts and buttons printed, and given them away at rallies.

That's a bit more worrying.
