      Well, it’s starting to look that way. They’ve reached the point of trying to overthrow our democratic institutions. The only thing left for them to do is openly advocate for the execution of political rivals.

      The ® is a hint. No one sincerely concerned with the wellbeing of the nation would be willing to have that next to their name in this day and age.

        I mean, America has litteraly killed millions of Muslims in the middle east and invaded Iraq without any actual evidence of WMD’s.

        Say what you will, but American politicans of various leanings have more or less supported mass slaughter of civilians because their brown and they won’t face any serious consequences for those actions.

        People get butthurt about the constant use of the word " Nazi " but replace the word " Jew " with " Muslims " in the current American media sphere and you can see how the similarity between those advocating for the " final solution " don’t sound all that diffrent then this lot really.

        For anyone reading this and legitimately wondering if it’s fair to call a person like this a Nazi, I say this:

        The Nazi party was first a political party in Germany. It operated for years before Germany invaded Poland, before they implemented Hitler’s genocidal plans. It gained popularity on the same kind of rhetoric the Republican party is using now: claimed victimization of the majority, and blaming societal problems on unrelated minorities.

        German people had legitimate grievances about their lives, and the Nazi party capitalized on that by blaming Jews, gay people, the disabled, and others.

        When people say that Republicans like this guy are Nazis, they’re not comparing them to WW2-era Nazis. They’re comparing them to the Nazis that led to WW2, because they are extremely comparable.

        Don’t be misled by “gotcha” comments like this one.
