Love him or hate him. Hitler was easily one of the top 5 most influential and powerful people to ever live, even though he was pure evil.
I would not say that. Hitler falls in the category of MAD MEN but same is true for Stalin, Mao, Saddam and Bush (Junior) among others.
Hitler is portrayed in a much grim light in comparison to others though (BIASES in Western narrative).

You actually put Jr in the same categories as those individuals? Don’t remember Jr casually killing millions for the hell of it, or because of his dictatorship.
I can say Jr did a lot bad things as President, but to be spoken too in the same light as those men, is wrong in my book.

Indeed, Hitler has a shitload in common with SJW's.
Certain "People" and their "Opinions" prefer to either ignore or LIE about this because of their own sharing of said Goals and Ideals...
There is a better question to ask compared to the question this thread asked. Mainly: why do leftists compare Hitler to all kinds of people that don't deserve it?
Are they just so intellectually stunted all they can do is label their opponents nazis? Do they even believe the nonsense that comes out of their mouth when comparing Hitler to American presidents, or are they just trying to say the stupidest shit imaginable to get a rise out of people?(the latter option is preferable here)
I wanna sit them down and ask them: What was the holocaust? What do you feel occurred? I wanna see them accurately describe what was done and then still, with a straight face, go "Trump is Hitler". I want to see them read about the nazi experiments on twins and still go "Yeah, orange man Hitler".
It is the same with Every Republican President since Nixon. The More Left the Entertainment and Media News Sources get, the more loud and silly their Criticisms of who ever happens to be the Current RePub Prez. This is the Worst it has Ever been but then just look at who is Running LeftyWood now...Full on kooKooMaChooLand.

It's an easy go-to for some people because everyone is aware of Hitler and the Nazi Party, no further explanation is needed, people also seem to use it I find to get you to stop debating with them, as though the idea you might be a Nazi will make you defensive or make you rethink your stance on a given subject. I usually counter it with; 'So your argument has nowhere else to go?' because that's the normally the case.

It's also highly disrespectful to holocaust survivors.
It especially gets me when someone from the left uses such tactics, because they're exploiting symbolism that is supposed to be sacred to them, to simply win an argument.
The same concept as when a reporter for left wing media suggested "Just call one of them racist. Then they'll sputter trying to defend themselves". as seen in a leaked Journo-list. Making false accusations to win a petty feud with right wing media is a good way towards delegitimization of something that, really, should be reserved for people who are victims of racism. How often does the left say "Believe victims!" Well, using the term "racist" tactically will make it that much harder for a victim of racism to be heard.

You know who does not sputter, trying to defend themselves? People who know they are not racist.
