1. It's a quote, not an expression of the poster's opinions directly.
2. We wouldn't even be talking about that industrial scale genocide this early on Hitler's term, which I don't say to suggest he's going to be Hitler 2 but rather to point out how it can be quite valid to be concerned before someone's getting into full swing with atrocities.

Do you think it is appropiate to compare Trump with Hitler? I think industrial-scale genocide is a bit of a different league than Trump.
Please forward this question to the current vice-president
Well, his VP thought it was appropriate so it ought to be fair for the rest of to talk about it.

Hitler was still Hitler in 1933.
And yes, I believe that we are at substantial risk for mass death at a scale resembling the holocaust within the next decade.
Give it time.
> compare Trump with Hitler?
not with 1939 Hitler, but with 1933 Hitler after the Nazi party won the elections? that's not farfetched
Do you understand it was a quote from JD Vance?
