@ThereIsHopeForYou posted this and it's on fp right now
Noticed this comment (by @TheePerfectComment) and a few others agreeing or saying similar things.
So here you are folks. I went through a bunch of Hitler speeches (ugh) in the Internet Archive (woot) and was able to put this together using free and open source video editor Shotcut.
Edit:

Also I'm trying to stay neutral in this. Somebody just asked for a comparison and I decided to make it. Fuck fascists, though, regardless if they look similar or not.
Edit 2:
If anyone is interested, I did write a poem about the recent capitol insurrection and visualized it line-by-line — https://imgur.com/gallery/4vZINaH

Imitating Hitler with all the stilted awkwardness of ten year olds performing Fortnite dances for their confused and concerned parents.

Respect these dudes, and get more of em in politics.

She looks like the drunk girl throwing a fit at the bartender for refusing to serve her more.
WantDownvotes
Well hitler was pretty good at speeches and adressing a crowd not the worst person to learn from as long that is alll you learn from him
WantDownvotes
And not painting for instance
unholycashew
After seeing how she matches the way he spoke I try to think if she recognizes that she did this or if shes just stupid, after all she ....
unholycashew
Did only just get her GED right before running for office. Only because it's the minimum requirement to run for office. Pathetic/appalling
brickstick
Coming from someone outside of America - staying neutral seems like a bad bet.
TheCarolingian
At least Hitler had charisma. I can't believe I'm defending Hitler...what have we come to?
justadude41123
There are at least two GOP members in Congress that are on the record supportive of hitler
TurkeyBaron
While this is disturbingly similar, politicians of all stripes have been borrowing from Adolf’s techniques ever since; they were effective.

Looks like a college student going through the motions to try to make their shitty presentation seem better.

“R” party? Republicans? Racists? Religious Zealots? Repugnant Bastards? Real assholes.
sturm24
Well quite a few people have looked to hitler for tips about public speaking. The man was a genius on that front.
AncientSeraph
I never understood why people had trouble acknowledging Hitler was a genius at quite a few things.
OmnipotentBeing
Trump was more of a Mussolini student.

America masackered Nazis before and it's time to do it again. This time they don't have any scientists to keep.
gwenniechan
The Nazis learned a lot from the US. There was an American Nazi party too.
SolitarAdorian
Sounds like people are dehumanizing them by calling them nazis. Scared for the future
EwgB
Reminds me of the one Office episode where Dwight imitated Mussolini for a speech at some paper salesman conference.
ReaperCDN
Hi, italian here. So the way they wave their arm, solo, emphatically communicates they're trying to sell me bullshit. Talking happens /1
ReaperCDN
With both hands and I dont appreciate either of these monsters mocking people who have a speech impediment. 2/2

OutcastbyChoice
But thats better than a Star of David or a number tattooed on em, right? Right? What? Same vibe? Oh, oh dear...
MaximumWesker
Nah, you're just tone-deaf and out of touch. Nazis are treated differently because they choose to be Nazis. Fuck them.
OutcastbyChoice
Nah, my only point here is that we shouldnt demean ourselves by acting as bad as the bad guys. Ill call out hypocrisy all day long.
AllysiaAiua
I mean, I get that you're trying to call out a kind of hypocrisy, but like, a) read the room, and b) that ignores the history of Nazis and
OutcastbyChoice
But reading the room and playing along to it is what led to a lot of this mess in the first place. People being complacent.
AllysiaAiua
Societal change isn't really gonna happen in imgur, but way to ignore the the rest of the post.
OutcastbyChoice
Nice assumption. I didnt ignore the post, I just like pointing out hypocrisy. I love it when people lose it over reality.
AllysiaAiua
fascists disappearing into the woodwork, trying to escape accountability for their actions, and live on to continue spreading hate and evil,
AllysiaAiua
while Jews already wrote the fact that they were Jewish openly. It wasn't hidden until people started trying to kill them for it.
Tyroie
So little difference between trolling & conservative bad-faith argument. Same love of dominance, same outcome. Sincerity is important.
OutcastbyChoice
You're not wrong, however, my initial comment was not meant to troll, just present my opinion in a sarcastic manner. Then it snowballed with
OutcastbyChoice
All the attacks. One person understood i was pointing out the hypocrisy, just didn't like my way of doing it, i suppose. But notice that
OutcastbyChoice
Thread stayed civil in the conversation. Lol! But i admit, my bad nature got the better of me again with most of the comments.
IAmAnthonyStark
We need some sort of eligibility requirements before they can get on the ballot. Knowledge of the Constitution and governmental procedure
SolitarAdorian
I agree we should do this for voting as well, stupid people shouldn't have a place in our society /s
TheLastNalbinder
We tried that, it was used by racists to prevent black people from voting. So I'm gonna say no
IAmAnthonyStark
I’m not saying they have to be high or elite requirements. But we have one who is drafting articles of impeachment for Biden’s first day.
IAmAnthonyStark
tell me that doesn’t diminish the integrity of the office.
SolitarAdorian
I agree it's stupid but it was also stupid to try to impeach Trump when the timeline wouldn't even allow the process to finish before 20th.
SolitarAdorian
Both sides are like children playing with fire.
InfinitusEquitas
The similarity is there, but this is not the best example, also would be easier to see if the motions were synced up.

Akurei00
Oh, that's good. @OP's gonna be all
gwenniechan
Indeed, impressive, very nice
RottenRooster
The resemblance would be much better if she did som amphetamine before her speech. That really got him going.
MilenaZabo
Or lost her left nut... Oh wait.
RottenRooster
Hitler only had one nut?
MilenaZabo
Yes.
GodEmperorOfImgur
It's not about copying every single move down to the exact gesture. It's about copying the mannerism.
Flagrum
together with how she talks (audio). Uncanny.
gwenniechan
Sorry… It's hard to find decent-resolution video from the late 30s/early-40s. I scanned over like 30 speeches before selecting this one.
HoHoHoPimp
Aye you did good, noble human.
wiseandstupid
Congratulations, you are now on a watch list.
gwenniechan
InfinitusEquitas
Oh don't get me wrong, you did great, better than I could. It's not a video quality issue at all either. There is one of him practicing...
InfinitusEquitas
With a mirror that might work better. Will see if I can find it.
PigsWeGetWhatPigsDeserve
As a European, the resemblance is uncanny. This would be all over the front pages if a right wing politician would copy Hitlers gestures.
HoldingAccount
As a European, I disagree. It's just a public speaker doing hand gestures passionately. There are a limited number of ways to do it.
chiefrunswithscissors
And probably having to exaggerate a bit on account of having her face covered
FBKatB3tadotcom1
Its a very well understood and used technique to get your audiences attention and hold it. Its been around as long as there are speakers
FBKatB3tadotcom1
If this what they are doing already?
Fit2DERP
Fun fact: Lady Gaga's "disco stick" (a la LoveGame) was created for this purpose, to capture and hold the audience.
P0G0THECL0WN
Yeah, its like Obamas thumb thing
Deoxyribonucleicacidwashedgenes
That was Clinton's thing.
P0G0THECL0WN
certainlynotaserialkiller
its goverment, not a lil wayne concert. if you need that to keep attention then its not important what you are saying.
rowanblaze
You've clearly never been through a public speaking class.
FBKatB3tadotcom1
You are wrong on that point, everyone moves their hands when talking to some degree or another. Look at Trump and his speaches
certainlynotaserialkiller
wich exactly proves my point
xan420
They're right. All politicians speaking in Senates/public are.taight to use body language and power/confidence positions. It does..
xan420
Actually work. The power posing is more for the citizen viewer. The points and directions invoke attention when needed and clearly 2/3
xan420
Accentuate points. Talking with hands and body language psychology is an integral part of modern political communication
certainlynotaserialkiller
enacting laws is not a magicians stage show. if you need a rain dance to convince people then you have a flawed argument.
Asheghetam
Exactly. When Cicero was murdered in 43B.C., he was decapitated and his hands cut off and displayed on the place where he would have his 1)
Asheghetam
speeches. His hands, because they were just as important as the words he spoke to convey his message. Again, this was in 43... B.C. 2)
moshthun
The whole Italians speaking with their hands thing is starting to make more and more sense!
Asheghetam
As somebody else already pointed out, it's not the movements that are the problem - that is basic rhetoric - but the ideas they share... 3/3
tbomber
She's a douche but...hand gestures while speaking makes her a nazi? Thats laughably stupid if thats whats being inferred here.
insegrevious
It's Imgur
Ikwilstroopwaffels
No. Her acting like a fucking Nazi makes her a Nazi.
Flagrum
No, but it adds another piece to the puzzle.
SolitarAdorian
NO
SolitarAdorian
I'm sorry but that's absurd.
TheDudeOrHisDudeness
I don't think that's the case. They're just trying to say she's learned from him. But that's hardly wrong. Hitler was a great speaker and 1/
TheDudeOrHisDudeness
it had nothing to do with his views and actions. Just like learning from him doesn't mean you share those views.
VonFuriku
The problem is the person in question.. does share those world views.
TheDudeOrHisDudeness
Maybe she does, I don't know her. That's not what I was talking about though.
Flagrum
There are better speakers to learn from. Copying Hitlers mannerisms, at best, look outdated and exaggerated nowadays. They worked back then
Flagrum
when technology (audio equipment, etc.) was less capable than today and speakers had to learn to deal with that.
TheDudeOrHisDudeness
That might be true. I'm just saying that learning a technique of public speaking from a bad person doesn't make you a bad person.
