To compare the failed assassination attempt on Adolf Hitler in 1944 with the recent failed attempt on the life of former president Donald Trump is obscene in the extreme.

The former case was tragic in that the failure led to millions of more lives to be lost in World War Two. The latter is tragic in the ensuing hateful rhetoric from those who wish that the attempted assassination had not failed.

Readers speak up about the failed attempt on Trump's life, the Giller Prize protest, calls for Trudeau's ouster, and more{ai:summary}Comparing Trump's near-assassination to Hitler's is a grotesque farce. The former brought millions to grief; the latter merely fuels a caustic culture, reveling in hatred rather than reflecting on loss. In a world where empathy is fading, such rhetoric only deepens the chasm. #society
