No one is 'comparing Bernie supporters to MAGA' because they want health care and min wage. They are making the comparison because of *similar patterns of behavior*
Aggression towards anyone who dares question their chosen one. Vocal Us vs Them. A willingness to let other people suffer if they don't get their way. Now we're getting "Bern it Down and to hell with the risk of having more trump, it serves us all right for not voting Bernie!"
This thread and really explains it-

And some of the responses:
"But it felt I couldn't criticize him at all, or talk about positive aspects of any other candidate, without being told I want people to die. "

"I got called a "Russian concern troll" and to "go back to the Clintons" for pointing out that Bernie shouldn't want an endorsement by a known queer-hater."
"I voted FOR his policies and IN SPITE OF his campaign. Not the other way around."
"I voted FOR his policies and IN SPITE OF his campaign. Not the other way around."
Any good ideas from other candidates were 'stolen' from Bernie. Any positive action by other candidates were attacks on Bernie. Calling out any negativity got you called a DNC shill or a capitalist sheep, etc etc...
*That* is why people are comparing you to trump supporters- not because of your desire for policies that most other countries have, but because the campaign went from enthusiasm and support, to downright zealotry and fanaticism.
