I'm not really a fan of Trump, but the insanity of comparing him to Hitler makes me facepalm.
In Sweden media/Dems tried to use the same tactics against Trumpish party.
What did they accomplish? Well, voters didn't like when they was indirectly called/compared to racists/nazis/fascists. It solidified and energized those who already vote for Trumpish party. It pissed also off those voters, who share similar stands on immigration and Islam issues, but were undecided/didn't like image(fact that some supporters of this party were indeed racists, for instance), and drove those to Trumpish party
So Trumpish party just accepted it and was being grateful. (Bara tacka och ta emot in Swedish).
Basically people who thought it was OK to be a little racist began to feel sorry for people who were really racist and thought the left/center-left way trying to make them feel bad about the way they feel a little?
