Let’s Just Stick with Facts

I am no fan of Donald Trump and can think of plenty of negative adjectives to describe him. Emotions are running particularly high this election cycle. But Mr. Ackerman’s comparison of Trump to Mussolini and Hitler is completely unjustified (“My Thoughts On The Debate”).

I too have been publicly compared to Hitler simply for having a different political opinion than someone else. In both cases these comparisons are completely unwarranted. Neither Trump nor myself have any plans for rounding up and executing 11 million people we deem “unworthy of life” - which is exactly what Hitler and the Nazis did.

No doubt the Nazis used fear as a powerful weapon to control others. We should not resort to the same tactics they employed. Stick with facts and leave fearmongering and hyperbole out of the final analysis.
