Are you really suggesting that Trump is like Hitler?....I'm really disappointed in you, I thought you better than that but sadly it appears not!

As just noted; his own VP did, so it's not like Chris is the first: https://edition.cnn.com/2024/07/15/politics/kfile-jd-vance-comments-trump/index.html

Well as you’ve asked … act like a grown up by not resorting to name calling, be respectful of other people’s opinions and provide validated facts to support your own views.

The US is a democracy (as the UK etc) - normally this means politicians stand, the one with the most votes wins, and gets to decide what games are played.
Some losers, or observers, think the outcome is wrong - I don't doubt their opinion is sincere. They insist they know better. One assumes they believe the winner should stand down, be removed from office, or forced to adopt policies upon which they were not elected.
Doing so would effectively disenfranchise the majority, who by implication (I assume) lack the intellect to understand the issues and arguments, or in some way lack a moral compass. No matter how sincere their reasons, they have no democratic authority.
How are these supreme beings, to whose opinions we all must defer, selected. Or do they simply impose themselves upon society as of right.
In riding roughshod over the majority are they benign dictators or saviours - or worse than those they seek to challenge through having no regard for democratic process.

Happy to be proved wrong.
I'll stick with H L Mencken, who said "Democracy is the idea that the people know what they want, and deserve to get it, good and hard".
