Overview

Everyone I Don't Like Is Hitler is a photoshopped children's book cover showing Adolf Hitler sliding down a rainbow, with the subtitle "The Emotional Child's Guide to Political Discussion"1. Political arguments online often pull it out when Godwin's Law kicks in, meaning someone in the thread compared their opponent to Nazis6.

The joke targets people who label every opponent a fascist by wrapping the accusation in the visual language of a picture book for small children1. The rainbow-riding Hitler artwork gives the mockup a bright, cheerful tone that clashes hard with the subject matter, and that clash carries most of the humor5.

How It Spread

Daily Telegraph writer Tim Stanley tweeted the cover on January 14th, 2016, calling it "required reading for the internet age"3. Weeks later, on February 27th, Redditor Knollsit posted it to /r/The_Donald, where it slotted right into the subreddit's political humor feed4. A photoshopped variant showing Hitler on a sled hit /r/funny on June 8th, 2016 and pulled over 7,400 upvotes at 89% approval2.

The template quickly spawned partisan flips in both directions. An Imgur upload on June 21st, 2016 replaced Hitler with Donald Trump under the title "Everyone I Don't Like is a Cuck"7. On October 6th, Redditor Dagon1213 posted "Everyone I Don't Like is Alt-Right" starring Pepe the Frog to /r/The_Donald4. Later that month, the Occupy Democrats Logic Facebook page put Hillary Clinton on a cover titled "Everyone I Don't Like Is a Russian Hacker," which then bounced around /r/russia7.

How to Use This Meme

The format typically uses a mock children's book cover with a cartoon-style drawing of the target and a subtitle framing that person's supporters as emotionally immature1. Common titles follow the "Everyone I Don't Like Is [X]" pattern, with X being whatever label the poster thinks gets thrown around too freely, whether Hitler, cuck, alt-right, or Russian hacker6.
