It's always a sign that straws are being grasped at when the Nazi comparisons begin. In my lifetime I can recall the following politicians / leaders being compared to Hitler: Trump, Obama, Bush Jr., Bush Sr., Hillary, Reagan, Pat Buchanan, Putin, Thatcher, Nixon, Ford, JFK, Guiliani, Pelosi, AOC, Helmut Kohl, Angela Merkel, and even Ellen Degeneres.
Be careful with the term always. There are both valid and invalid comparisons to this period in history. You can discern between the two.
History is a great teacher because of human nature. As for this period its used often today because of its recency. Blanket dismissal or acceptance of it is folly.
