How I feel when lazy comparison are made between Trump and the Confederacy.
Y'all.

The picture on the left is the execution of the "Last Jew of Vinnitsa" during the Holocaust, a genocide involving the mass murder of Jews (and others) based on their racial characteristics.

There are ABSOLUTELY comparisons to be made b/w the Third Reich and the US now. But this ain't it.
