“Hitler for purposes of narrative”, such that whenever writing about him, he is always to be discussed as if he’s worse than Satan himself, the greatest threat to anything good the world has ever seen, and always looking to genocide anyone with more than three brown hairs. This is not a defense of him, Satan is just definitely worse, and we should be able to critically discuss anything, and from any position, regardless of what our actual position is.
If they treated him as if he was actually Hitler, Ford would be sending him tanks and plane parts while the Federal government stood down and allowed for the arming of our enemies, before sending our own people to fight the people we had just armed.
No, they treat him as if he’s “literally” Hitler!
