Look kid, you should do a little reading on Hitler. There is no "parallel" as you put it. Every politician appeals to some base at some level, whether it be Obama, Sanders or Trump. So, to single out Trump is more than little disingenuous and shows your partisan nature.
And BTW, I am not a Trump supporter, but I do like how he gets you liberals' panties all in a wad.
That alone is great theater.
I'm just going to re-quote what I wrote since you don't even seem to be addressing the issues I brought up:
"I mean, if you look at the basic tenants of how he runs his campaign, you can see that he does draw some easy similarities to Hitler:
- Impassioned speeches working up the emotions of his support base.
- Scape-goating minorities or foreigners as the primary source of national problems
- Coming to power in a faction with little to no support base in previous years (I realize Republicans have actually majority seats in Congress, but he seems to be representing more of an extreme offshoot of the party rather than the core establishment of the party)."
I could list some other parallels, but I believe that those are the most notable ones. The especially frightening ones are actually the first two parallels, where he uses primarily emotionally-charged speaking and scape-goating. Now, all politicians do aim to involve your emotions, the issue is that Trump's speech seem to aim at ONLY doing that. He rarely or never goes into specifics regarding what he wants to do. If asked some direct questions a common tactic of his is to hurl insults rather than address the issue. He feeds an "us vs. them" mentality.
The emotional-charging with little reason to back him, coupled with scape-goating foreigners are easy and clear parallels to draw between himself and Hitler. Now, if he were to provide some facts to back himself up, or elaborate more on why he feels a certain way or what he wants to do, then we could move from saying that he just emotionally-charges his audience to saying that he makes great points while inspiring emotion. It is literally the difference between being something like a religious cult sham and one of the greatest leaders of the world. One guy only engages your emotions, the other guy engages both your reason and your emotion.
I won't pretend that I have no political affiliation, however, I believe myself to be pretty fairhanded and leaving most partisanship notions to the side when engaging in a reasoned discussion. With that said, it is most reasonable to draw a parallel between Trump and Hitler rather than any other candidate and Hitler...why? Well, Trump's campaign is unique, nobody can argue that. Nobody else is running a campaign like him.
Unfortunately, in some ways, it also uniquely mirrors what we know of Hitler.
