You can talk about it, but comparing modern people to Hitler or modern governments or organizations to the Nazis is usually just done for effect and never adds a damned thing to the discussion. "THIS GUY = HITLER = EVIL YOU GUYS" is as nuanced as that crap gets. It also conflates a bunch of generally "bad stuff" that shouldn't be - Trump has some insane policies, including some borderline fascist ones, but he isn't advocating murdering babies and taking women as sex slaves.

ISIS, Trump, they're their own entities with their own unique brands of awful. Nazis don't need to be involved.
