The same people who call Trump a Nazi are the same people that called anyone who disagreed with them a racist, sexist, bigot and everything-phobe almost impulsively for the past 8 years. Don't take those people seriously. After all, Hillary's ads during her campaign were mostly fear-mongering while she had no platform to run on except.... "FIRST WOMAN PRESIDENT". Then there were the many excuses she and her supporters had for losing the election....
The only two ways that Trump in any way at all resembles Hitler are that, one, both of them are publicly and loudly nationalist, and two, that both of them married women who, on any reasonable aesthetic basis, should have been way out of their league.
By all other political measures, Hillary is much more a Nazi than Trump is. In point of fact, almost every single point her campaign raised against him is, in fact, something she (or someone closely associated with her) is guilty of. Which makes me, quite frankly, rather worried about the accusations her campaign made about Trump wanting to start a nuclear war...
Well, that's not true! He also eats sugar, breathes air, dislikes some people, supports a strong military (I rate militaristic as a different item than nationalistic), and has funny hair

It would be edifying if people stopped for a moment and performed this brief thought experiment: if you went back 20 years and asked anyone what political persuasion Trump was, they would say without reservation that he was a moderate Democrat. (He would probably have described himself as such also.) He was long a public figure by that point, and not shy about candidly speaking his mind. Therefore one could deduce this by looking at what he said, the causes he supported and the candidates he contributed to. Now does anybody think Trump has changed at all in the 20 years since then? No, he's the same person he always was. So what HAS changed? The political landscape: the Left has marched continuously off into La-La Land, and extended the edge of the spectrum so far that Trump and millions of Americans like him are now somehow regarded as extreme, or "conservative". It is to laugh. Additionally, it would be instructive if the people petrified about the potential actions of a Trump presidency realized that they wouldn't have anything to

One of the things that I am finding rather interesting is that the people that are most afraid of what a trump presidency may do are also very afraid of the proposed reductions in federal power

I believe this is because deep down liberals (and feminists, etc.) know that because their social and economic views are totally contrary to human nature, the only way the conditions they desire can persist is for them to be artificially propped up by an authoritarian government. In short, leftist policies must always be imposed and enforced with a gun. This is why their collectivist schemes are invariably oppressive. Once that external influence is removed, traditional (i.e., normal) societal conditions will reassert themselves, and all their "progress" will be lost.

Largely agree.
I think Trump should be bolder on some important issues (e.g. the debt, the Fed) and lighten up on others (war on drugs). Overall I'm pleased though.
I wouldn't call him a constitutional conservative (a Cruz or Paul) but he is no way an authoritarian let alone a Nazi.

But yeah, I have been *extremely* pleasantly surprised with how his rhetoric has manifested in practice.
