We’ve seen plenty of hot takes about how Donald Trump is the second coming of Adolf Hitler, but this one from Dr. Bandy X Lee — who often weighs in on Donald Trump’s mental health on CNN and MSNBC — is in a class of its own:

Is that a hot take, or is that a hot take?

The List was made for people like Bandy X Lee. Who, by the way, is not just your average doctor:

The world’s mental health is in big trouble if she’s running the show.

"At least Hitler…"

You people were just missing her point:
Okay, I have taken it down, since it has upset so many people and was not provoking thought but the opposite. Of note, my statement was about how little Donald Trump believes he needs to do to retain his followership, NOT to minimize Adolf Hitler’s atrocities.

But you did.

This is how you took it, not how I meant it.
— Bandy X Lee, MD, MDiv (@BandyXLee1) November 2, 2020
It’s your fault for assuming that Dr. Lee was minimizing Hitler’s atrocities when she minimized Hitler’s atrocities!
If we cannot look at parallels in history and learn from them, we are truly poised to repeat it. I say so in heartbreak for the 11+ million lives lost, not in their minimization (currently, we are looking at 7 billion at risk, without exaggeration if we soberly thought of it).

Bandy.
What did you expect, when you invoke the name?
— Yes We Can (@YesWeCa37213657) November 2, 2020
A refusal to make comparisons has been a problem, when they have such similarities. Donald Trump’s death toll is now higher than Hitler’s at the same period.
— Bandy X Lee, MD, MDiv (@BandyXLee1) November 2, 2020
Don’t do this. Oh, wait. You already did.

Oh well. At least “most of” her fellow serious thinkers out there understood her:
I know most of you understood, and I appreciate it!
— Bandy X Lee, MD, MDiv (@BandyXLee1) November 2, 2020
We’d like to know who “understood” so we can make sure to never take anything they say seriously.

How deep does this grave go?
That's not AT ALL what you said. You said the german people got decent stuff, along with the evil, because he was competent. Your argument wasn't that he did evil better.
— katushka (@Featherbrained) November 2, 2020
While committing mass murder, he hid it well and enriched the lives of ordinary Germans with stolen goods. He worked harder to earn his followers. Other than these differences, they were similarly incompetent and destructive.

What in the ever-loving f*ck?
Your strongly insinuated that Hitler was better than Trump by enlisting a series of features that you perceive as good at the same time as you ignored small details like the holocaust.
— Stray Then Dead (@DeadStray) November 2, 2020
Yes, because I was focused on his followers and followers only! Donald Trump’s followers make him particularly dangerous.
— Bandy X Lee, MD, MDiv (@BandyXLee1) November 2, 2020
You know what’s really dangerous? Alleged “mental health professionals” making excuses for Adolf Hitler.
