    The lines between Hitler and Trump are becoming less and less blurred

      I think you mean more blurred, not less.

      A less blurred line would be more distinct, providing a stronger, more obvious separation between the two.

      A more blurred line is fuzzier, making it more difficult to tell where one ends and the other starts.

      I get what you’re saying from the context, but the way you phrases it makes it sound like it’s becoming more clearly defined that Trump is not Hitler. Generally, more “blurring of the lines” equates to a thing becoming less clearly distinguishable from another thing.

        If one circle is blurry, it can look like a Venn diagram.

        As it gets more focused, it looks like the Venn just overlaps more than it did originally.

        Then one day, everyone’s like “wait a minute, it’s been a single blurry circle the whole time” and everyone can see it.

        It’s not common usage now, but has before. So maybe they switched it up on accident, but if it was intentuonal then it wasn’t necessarily wrong. They just meant as the differences get more defined, we realize they aren’t really differences.

      It’s very easy to tell them apart.

      One dresses like an American clown. The other had good uniforms.

      But yeah, both suck.

      Much like Argentina was a safe haven for Nazi’s, Trump is making Venezuela a safe haven for him and his mob.
