If you say you love Hitler, you're obviously just a bunch of good 'ole boys joking around.
If you say Charlie Kirk got what he deserved, you're obviously a domestic terrorist hell-bent on overthrowing the U.S. government.

Republican leaders keep getting shot because the media labeled them nazis and Hitler.
If Republicans embrace that label fictitiously its not happening for no good reasons. Republicans aren't going to hate themselves because they get called Hitler.

Right and that's why I try not to take the moral high ground on that stuff as certainly I have been pleased when people have died before.
It's better to just recognize that we all just hate each other because of incompatible cultures and values

yeah, what's the prob? Hitler welcomed Jesse Owens with open arms.
Forget Hitler - it was America that snubbed black Olympian Jesse Owens
Throughout the tortured history of sports and politics, one moment has always stood above the others: Jesse Owens's performance at the 1936 Berlin Olympics.
"A German sports reporter, Siegfried Mischner, has claimed Owens carried a photograph of himself shaking hands with Hitler and called it 'one of my most beautiful moments'.
"Mischner, 83, says he and several other reporters saw the handshake behind the stands at the Olympic stadium but never mentioned it.
"After all those stories about Hitler and his snub, I came back to my native country and I couldn't ride in the front of the bus,' Owens recalled.
"President Franklin Roosevelt never congratulated Owens or invited him to the White House. 'Hitler didn't snub me - it was FDR who snubbed me,' Owens said.

Good question, I'm not sure. If I find out, I'll post it.
I found this in the comments while looking...

Been too busy for the DNC outrage of the day lately, but found out about this controversy on X yesterday:

Interesting comparison. A potential contradiction by some supporters of Trump or on the right in general. Both seem to be hyperbole seeking to incite outrage. In other words trolling.
Although in terms of potential sarcasm or dark humor, the Hitler reference is universally known for being a taboo subject, and more likely to be interpreted as an exaggeration.
On the other hand, the Charlie Kirk assassination does not have the long history of either being taboo or dark humor, and thus is more likely to be interpreted as being a completely true sentiment, publicly expressed as a murderous and malicious troll.
