I don't like movies or novels about Nazis.  They continue to be popular, because, let's face it, they were seriously bad dudes, so they make terrific baddies to overcome.  Dramatically they were made for storytellers.  But, to me, they aren't part of fictional stories because they were real.  I know people who lost close family members and friends in the Nazi purge.  Laying claim to millions of murders is not good by any measure.

So I am disturbed by the popularity of comparing President Trump to Nazis.  It is hard for almost everybody to resist hyperbole when trying to make a point, especially a political point in these turbulent times.  I wish they would resist it -- there is so much hype in today's news that it's almost impossible to know what's real any more.  This problem of separating children from their illegal immigrant parents begs the comparison, however.
