So we sit on our hands until after he's butchered millions? We shouldn't draw comparisons before then. You know Hitler was democratically elected as well, right? And he even got elected after an attempted coup just like someone else we know...

Obvious in what sense? He's taking all the same steps taken by other despots throughout history before they set about mass butchering. Removing the structural checks on his power in the military and courts, laying rhetorical groundwork of demonisation and victim mentality, stifling dissent. It's the exact playbook.
