In which I allow historians to assess the Trump/Nazi comparisons. www.ms.now/opinion/trum...
This provides an opportunity for Trump and his allies. Comparing someone to Adolf Hitler (rather like calling someone a racist) is seen as so extreme that it’s self-disqualifying. This is so much the case that the president’s own allies elevate criticisms of his maneuvering near and over the line of fascism as functional comparisons to Hitler, and then summarily dismiss them. 

It struck me, then, that it might be useful to assess the most recent disparagement of immigrants through that lens. If comparisons to antisemitic language from the early days of Nazi Germany are unfair and excessive, then it’s useful to delineate how. What if we presented the recent comments from Trump and Noem to historians of that era and allowed them to explain how and where differences existed?

So I did. I reached out to a number of academics with backgrounds in the history of that era in Germany. Not all were willing to speak on the record, but those with whom I did speak did generally agree that while the comparison was imperfect, it was not completely unfair.
