Many on the left compare Trump to Hitler. The right did the same thing with Obama. Now the popular thing is to compare those marching in the march for our lives to Hitlers Youth. Why oh why do we have this nasty habit in this country?

Using Hitler is easy way to express hatred. He’s the current embodiment of evil, a sort of human devil; and when you compare someone to him, people instantly know what you are saying without having to say too much.
It is most certainly an exaggeration, and I don’t think it’s a good habit.

Hitler was responsible for the systematic and systematic extermination of more than six million Jews in the Holocaust, in accordance with the Final Solution he had conceived and carried out, as well as for the extermination of millions of non-Jews and the destruction of many European countries. The crimes against humanity and the war crimes committed by Hitler were manifestations of extreme racist and anti-Semitic ideology, expressed in his book Mein Kampf.
Because of these things people are comparing bad things to Hitler's bad deeds.

Funny enough, I asked a similar question yesterday.
People like to compare things, so they find the worst they can, and then hold it up
The question yesterday was, who did they compare Hitler to, before Hitler?

You're right... It's a cheap trick and both parties are equally guilty of it.
As to why... Anytime you toss out "red meat" flag words (like Hitler) in order to criticize someone, it is meant to stop all constructive dialogue. It then deteriorates into personal attacks instead of a meaningful discussion.
