You can even compare Donald Trump to Freeza.
I don't think so. Donald Trump is just an abrasive idiot that's demonized by the media (Hilary is more evil than him) while Freeza was calculating and a stone-cold killer.
What do you mean by "more evil?"
Either way, neither Trump or Clinton have directly killed a lot of people, so I wouldn't compare them to Freeza yet.

Hillary would be more akin to Frost than Freeza. Both orchestrating or being part of the side that starts wars, while posing as the hero.

They're both fascist dictators who kill anyone in their path.

Both the candidates were pretty corrupt but Hillary at least had good intentions. And I don't think it's fair to compare Trump to Frieza because at least Frieza doesn't call women disgusting animals and speak at a 4th grade level.

No, Freeza just murders people on a whim and has children murdered. Hillary never had good intentions. She was a power luster. Trump is an authoritarian. Both were terrible. Can you all stop trying to be funny and make an erroneous comparison between the last two presidential candidates and a pure evil tyrannical dictator that ruled over a galaxy wide empire that killed planets' inhabitants to sell them to the highest bidder?

True, but I still stand by Hilary as more evil. At least Trump is honest while Hilary is more crooked than a bad drug-dealer.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I'm just about done with the concept of reboots and making shows that were products of their time and impactful "new and sexy" and in line with modern tastes and sensibilities. Let stuff stay in their era and give today's kids their own shit to watch.
I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about
your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

Not caring about political correctness is not the same as being honest. Trump bet his chips on being different from other politicians, trusting the good old saying that "no publicity is bad publicity", but simply having strategically the stance that he has employed during the campaign doesn't translate to real honesty. A good example is his insistence on going after Hillary with criminal charges, which was something that fitted the stance he wanted to have in the campaign, but that he obviously dropped after it with no problems.

Hitler, much like Freeza, was a real jerk.

Not just Hitler, back in the 1100's there was a tyrant by the name of Genghis Khan who went and conquered many lands, killing millions in the process. His hatred for the Islamic world, which was a superpower at the time, led to him destroying generations of people. He walked right into the holiest place in the Islamic world in Baghdad and literally placed all of their ancient books in the river, creating a black river due to all the ink.
It was said that people were so afraid of the Mongolians at the time that a woman would tell 3 Iraqi men to stay there while she goes and gets her sword, they would immediately comply due to their fear and she would come back and slaughter them one by one.
This man killed millions with swords, arrows, knives, etc. He didn't have the advanced weaponry that Hitler did. I shudder to think what could have happened if Genghis Khan was a tyrant in the modern times. Although he was cold, calculating and full of hate, he was a military genius, as he conquered almost all of the developed world at the time (Europe was primitive and in the middle age then).
He was also known for being ruthless to his subordinates, much like Freeza.

What exactly people do when comparing things to Hitler is called ALLEGORY. Hitler became the allegory of genocide.
It's not a matter of numbers. Or wrong educational systems. Why not Mussolini, or Franco, or the chinese emperor, or...
It's just a matter of pop culture. The same, believe me, that always compare Einstein to the final genius, always forgetting of the greater Neils Bohr.
I learned english listening to songs. So I don't know anything about. The day you had to learn play piano by just listening .mp3, you'll understand.
