CMV: Depicting modern political figures as 20th Century dictators is disrespectful

Just saw a post depicting McConnell as Hitler and have seen some with Trump being depicted as good old Adolf too. You just can’t compare a grossly incompetent President or Majority whip with a heinous, genocidal maniac. On one hand it’s disrespectful to the person but even more to the victims of those dictatorships by basically comparing your current position to the hardships they had to go through. 
This of course works the other way around too with people depicting Sanders as Stalin. 
STOP THAT.
There’s nothing wrong in disagreeing with a politicians opinion but there are just limits in drawing comparisons.
Also: not American, so neither democrat nor republican.

It depends, as Hitler or dictators in general aren't heinous genocidal maniacs from the start. Take Hitler as an example - he started his career as a populist who was chosen in elections and had a history of racist beliefs. This comparison may show a dangerous similarity when you compare beginnings of careers of a current political figure. If that comparison would be made in time when political figure would be comparable to "late-Hitler" tean time for warnings through comparison would already have passed.
