Everyone I Don't Like Is Hitler is a photoshopped children's book cover from November 2015 showing Adolf Hitler sliding down a rainbow. It gets pulled out whenever an online argument reaches for the Nazi comparison, mocking anyone who invokes Godwin's Law.
Origin
Facebook user Joey Miller made the mockup on November 21st, 2015 and posted it to the original-content Facebook group Useless, Unsuccessful, and/or Unpopular Memes[6]. The Hitler-on-a-rainbow illustration inside the cover was not Miller's own drawing. It came from a user named Laurann, who had painted it earlier for the drawing site Drawception[8].
On November 22nd, 2015, the conservative blog Bookworm Room included the fake book cover in a roundup of political internet memes, which pushed the image well beyond Miller's small Facebook group[1]. Blog Cramulus reposted it on November 23rd with credit back to the original Facebook post[5].

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 Nazis[6].
The joke targets people who label every opponent a fascist by wrapping the accusation in the visual language of a picture book for small children[1]. 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 humor[5].
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 feed[4]. A photoshopped variant showing Hitler on a sled hit /r/funny on June 8th, 2016 and pulled over 7,400 upvotes at 89% approval[2].
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_Donald[4]. 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/russia[7].
How to Use
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 immature[1]. 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 hacker[6].
