I feel like we are living in increasing dangerous times. The “stop Trump at all cost” movement, fueled by hate, continues to escalate its attacks on the former president.

We are now being told, around the clock, that Trump is a Hitler. The same man that’s responsible for the killing of 6 million Jewish people, 3.3 million Soviet prisoners of war, 1.8 million non-Jewish ethnic Poles, between 250,000 and 500,000 Romani men, women, and children, and others labeled as “gypsies,” 250,000-300,000 including at least 10,000 children with disabilities living in institutions and care facilities, tens of thousands of German political opponents and dissenters, 1,700 Jehovah’s Witnesses, and the list goes on.

That’s my concern. If Trump is that or like that, what’s next? This comparison is dangerous and irresponsible. We don’t have a do-over. God help us.
