There is always a segment of the population ready to don the jackboots and brownshirts, that is just the way they roll. So when Trump bashes all Muslims and advocates locking them up and restricting travel and his poll numbers go up, that tells me that there are a lot of Americans who like his message and they are emboldened by Trump's lead for the GOP nomination. Of course they hate the comparison to Hitler, but since they are usually dumb fuckers with no knowledge of history that is easy to do.
