No, they're not basing it on the fact that trump had an event there, but that it was almost indistinguishable from a Nazi rally by its topics and demeanor.
They're saying that trump is a Nazi because of the Nazi slogans he repeats.
They're saying it wasn't the first Nazi rally, because Nazis had one before there.
It wasn't. At all.
He's not repeating Nazi slogans.
And I just found out it's not even the same building. It's location has moved twice. It's such a lame stretch to try and link the two. It's sad

Lol, the Atlantic.
I said this to someone else but you have to Big Stretch trumps words to even make any sort of connection to the ideas listed in the article. If you're starting on a premise that's false, the connection is false too, sorry to say.
Or, not sorry, actually. It's a really good thing that Trump is not like Hitler or Mussolini.
Now, don't get me wrong, there's certainly a fraction of the right who is fascist, or at least, incredibly totalitarian, but they're swimming against the tide.
