Yes because Trump is comparible to hitler.
Hitler committed genocide. Trump wants to round up all the illegal immigrants and send them home.
Another similarity, Hitler was imprisoned prior to taking power and wrote the lovely supremacist book titled 'Mein Kampf'
Trump on the other hand was a successful billionaire entrepreneur who employed countless people and wrote a bestseller book on good business practice.
They clearly have so much in common *disappointed sigh*

When no one else advocates for war crimes and more torture, he sort of stands out. So yeah.

That works great to get the votes of a party of angry white men, much less to get elected to the highest office of such a diverse country.
I am genuinely baffled that you believe all of these things and presume to think you're coming at this with an open mind.
Can you cite some examples of his racist attacks?
Also there are millions of non-whites and females in the republican party whenever you liberals love spewing that myth it just makes you look uneducated and biased.

Bro, you come here every day asking the same questions. Every day we provide you with things we feel make him racist. Every day you deny it makes him racist.
We think he is racist. You don’t. We have accepted this. You need to.

I'm not sure why you keep denying things that Trump explicitly says and does, but you're one of like ten people left in existence who seems to think that he doesn't say and do bigoted and racist things. He also explicitly said what I posted; it's not an interpretation. Gorsameth posted the direct soundbite, and it's not even the only time he's said things like that.

You understand that when people talk about Hitler being brought to power that was actually before the Holocaust, right? Because it seems an awful lot like you don't. The comparison was being made with 1933 Hitler, not 1945 Hitler. And it wasn't ambiguous, not sure how you missed it.

Alright let's do something strange and instead of saying he's a psycho who wants to torture people let's actually talk about the policy.
Do you think if we capture high-ranking ISIL officials, we should be able to use any-means-necessary to extract information from them that may prevent future terrorist attacks and save lives?
I do. That does not mean I am a psychopath who loves torture.
I simply would rather not allow another Paris attack to happen, or Belgian airport bombing, or any sort of event involving the murder of masses of innocent people just trying to live their lives by radical islamic terrorists driven by hatred.
This is something Trump is willing to do.
Clinton is not.
Clinton is going to fight for the rights of the terrorist. Trump is going to fight for innocent people. I will vote for Trump's policy over Clinton's any day of the week.
(also just on a funny side-note, Clinton was in favor of this a few years ago but the current Clinton is no longer. just another example of her flip-flopping on everything).

My point is I would outright reject a candidate who I feel is not trust worthy, doesn't matter what they say why should I believe them? And you think banning all muslims from entering the country is a good idea? And that building a 24 billion dollar wall (plus maintenance, mind you) is a serious proposition, while most illegal immigrant enter the country legally? Like, seriously?
I think "ban all muslims" is better than the left who fail to even say the words islamic terrorists. I am highly against accepting refugees, every day I go through new york subway I fear some crazy lunatic will pull something. I want someone who is serious about it. The people who support ISIS either silently or openly is MUCH greater than what is portrayed by the media. This is obviously true in middle east, there are quite a few ISIS sympathizers there but even in the U.S.! Banning all muslims is actually not feasible, there is no identification for being a muslim. So with trump I know that atleast refugees will be banned, and that is good enough.
24 billion wall, the cost is irrelevant. Seriously the U.S. is 20 trillion in debt, I'm not an economist by anymeans (not a biologist either) but I stopped caring about the debt a long time ago. The wall would have to be either manned 24/7 or patrolled by drones. Either way I don't expect the wall to solve immigration issue, but I think it is a much needed symbol to say fuck you to mexico. A country that has been sending us their worst citizens. Yeah they need to escape their shitty situation and deserve a better life, but the U.S is a sovereign nation with a border. Once the wall is established I think the next step would be visas, it should get the ball rolling though.

Did you bother to read the rest of my post before you asked that question?
A little inference would imply I clearly understand he did this after his ascent to power. 1933 Hitler had already been imprisoned and written the Mein Kampf.
I said this in the post you quoted. How did you miss it?

I accept that you don't think he's a racist. I also accept the fact that you refuse to offer evidence of his racism and that I reserve the right to criticize you on holding irrational views.

He also talked about relocating all the Jews and removing them from Germany. I don't think Trump his Hilter, but lets not forget that was the initial pitch. Trump is just a bigot.
Edit: bro, you gunna be waiting a long time because people are getting feed up with playing your little game. Get over it. No one is here to change your mind. You like Trump. We think he is a racist ass clown.

So you think we should murder their families to make examples.
You think we fight a 'to PC' war and should throw away the Geneva convention and commit warcrimes.
I heard glassing the middle east would quiet them right down. Would that be acceptable?
See, some of us don't think we should becomes as bad as our worst enemy to fight them. Because are we really any different from them then?
Btw, good to see you gave up so quickly on attempted to provide a different interpretation to his statement and that your instead going with the 'so what' defense.

(also just on a funny side-note, Clinton was in favor of this a few years ago but the current Clinton is no longer. just another example of her flip-flopping on everything).
you seem unaware of the ineffectiveness of torture; or of the long-term damage to our principles and image that results from its use.
Trump literally said he'd go after innocent people, in ways that are a war crime.
You esem quite unaware of the point of protecting our values.

When no one else advocates for war crimes and more torture, he sort of stands out. So yeah. Do you think if we capture high-ranking ISIL officials, we should be able to use any-means-necessary to extract information from them that may prevent future terrorist attacks and save lives? I do. That does not mean I am a psychopath who loves torture.
We're not saying you love torture, but hating torture while also advocating torture isn't any better. 
And by the way (I always hate making this argument, it reeks of economic thinking), torture isnt even very good at extracting information in the first place. I mean, this is common knowledge even within pop culture, right? There's no point in getting people ot talk if they do not actually know anything, because they will start talking about things they will invent in that very second.
I simply would rather not allow another Paris attack to happen, or Belgian airport bombing, or any sort of event involving the murder of masses of innocent people just trying to live their lives by radical islamic terrorists driven by hatred.
You can't stop terrorism. It's literally impossible.
but I think it is a much needed symbol to say fuck you to mexico. A country that has been sending us their worst citizens.
hahaha. dude.

Well I'm not just voting for trump because of his personality or character lol, I agree with his positions on immigration, trade and terrorism. My point is I would outright reject a candidate who I feel is not trust worthy, doesn't matter what they say why should I believe them? Don't you just love the contortions that Hillary supporters have to go through to whitewash her past and explain away her duplicitous nature? Also, don't underestimate the significance of the bolded part above. Those are the key Trump issues. He has scored a ton of points with them throughout his campaign, and he's going to continue to score points with them against Hillary. I don't think so. He has won a party gone batshit crazy with batshit crazy propositions. The base of the GOP is so radicalized and so far on the right that it is likely to be seduced by the idea of torturing people, killing civilians, banning muslims, bullying foreign countries and building a wall that won't be built because it makes 0 sense. The bad news for you guys is that the average american is not as biggoted and ignorant as the base of your party. Those propositions that got him elected by the party simply horrify most people, because they are horrifying. And I won't start to talk about the part where he insulted every minorities with one racist attack after another. That works great to get the votes of a party of angry white men, much less to get elected to the highest office of such a diverse country. I am genuinely baffled that you believe all of these things and presume to think you're coming at this with an open mind. Can you cite some examples of his racist attacks? Also there are millions of non-whites and females in the republican party whenever you liberals love spewing that myth it just makes you look uneducated and biased. Bro, you come here every day asking the same questions. Every day we provide you with things we feel make him racist. Every day you deny it makes him racist. We think he is racist. You don’t. We have accepted this. You need to. I'm still waiting for an example of his racist attacks. You come in here every day slandering him and his supporters without any sort of reasoning behind your hateful attacks against him. I accept that you don't think he's a racist. I also accept the fact that you refuse to offer evidence of his racism and that I reserve the right to criticize you on holding irrational views.
Every day you ask for evidence that Trump is a racist.
Every day we post evidence that Trump is a racist.
Heck, every week there seems to be new evidence that we can add to the ever-growing compilation. We should call these updates "Now That's What I Call Racism!" and we'd have like 20 volumes already.
Nearly every person knows that Trump is a racist.
Except you. You keep dodging all of these statements and actions that Trump makes, as if you're some sort of Denial Neo in the Trump Matrix. What kind of evidence can a person give to someone who doesn't believe in evidence?
