My point is that the comparisons between Trump and Hitler are pretty far-fetched when our own government also shares responsibility for thousands of innocent people being killed.
We just turn up our noses and act like its no big deal while looking down on those stupid Americans and their dumb President.

Both the conservatives and liberals have sold arms to the Saudis; that doesn't mean one agrees 100% with every single policy decision made by a government.
If that's the case, you also voted for it.
The Hitler comparison was a joke - whoosh - i guess people should be getting outraged whenever the Hitler Downfall video is appropriated to mock the Edmonton Oilers or Vancouver Canucks (psst Hitler
wasn't an Oilers fan).
any other petty dictator, like Erdogan, Putin, Duterte, Un et al that Trump admires could have been easily used...as Cecil said, it was a convenient meme, but not accurate one
the actual point was that Trump is reaping what he sowed and the notion that the left should bend over backwards to have compassion for him, when there are many on the right that would kick Biden in the face if the roles were reversed, is a bridge to far for many of us.
but you brought up sanctimonious 'whataboutisms'...
