Are comparisons to Hitler justifiable?

April 26, 2025
Life and politics, Media

In the criticism of the Trump administration’s concepts and methods of implementation, some see parallels to what extremists like Hitler had done in the past. Others see that comparison as an unacceptable exaggeration. After all, we cannot compare Trump’s policies to the Holocaust. However, we should not forget that until 1939, Hitler was a respected leader of a large nation, vide Munich in 1938. Therefore, if we see signs of the same behavior in current leaders that Hitler exhibited before revealing his true nature, it is our civic duty to call it out. We may or may not be right about a particular politician, but it is the only way to prevent another Hitler from reemerging. The warning of Martin Niemöller comes to mind.
