Hyperbole

 

It seems to me, that labeling Trump as a fascist, as a Hitler, ad infinitum and ad nauseum, is akin to branding Lawrence Welk as a satanic death metal enthusiast because someone once spotted him at a venue where “Sympathy for the Devil” by the Rolling Stones was playing overhead.

 

Hey, it ain’t a perfect metaphor, but it came to me out of the blue this morning and I kinda like it.

 

(Apologies to Lawrence Welk, whose reputation precedes any personal experience I have of the famous accordion-playing conductor of yesteryear.)
