Calling such people Nazis is counter productive and only inflames the current issues at hand.
If they talk like a Nazi, act like a Nazi, or sympathize with Nazis, I’m gonna call them a Nazi. There’s no room to be tolerant here, Nazis have zero place in our society. And those that are Nazis are right wing and hide within the Republican party. That doesn’t make them any less of a Nazi, and we should call them out on it.
Where did I say that all Republicans are Nazis? Look closely, I said no such thing. I am saying that Nazis hide in the Republican ranks. There are openly white supremacist factions within the Republican Party (i.e. “Christian Identitarians”) that hide behind a veneer of civility. These groups have far greater influence in the Republican Party than ideological extremists on the left have with the Democratic Party.
Why then is extremist, explicitly Nazi rhetoric so pervasive within the Republican ranks? A good example of this is the United The Right rally in Charlottesville. The Nazis present were not condemned by the leader of the Republican party at that time when it would be the easiest thing for him to do. This tacit implicit support emboldens them for future action. Any sensible President would have denounced Nazis and their actions, especially as a woman was killed as a result of their actions.
Historians have a word for people who joined the Nazi party, openly associated with Nazis and flew the Nazi flag because of economic anxiety, misplaced politics or simple ignorance.
Nazi. The word is Nazi.
If these people do not like what the party currently stands for, then it is incredibly easy to simply not associate with them.
No, I don’t hate the other guy. I have 30 years worth of experience dealing with well meaning conservatives. I hate Nazis. I can tell the difference. If you can’t because the issue is too close to home, again, that is on you.
The very fact that Manchin/Bernie and McCain/MTG share parties shows the two party system is an issue. Calling every democrat a commie and every Republican a Nazi is retarded.

Dude, literally only one side is calling for the extermination of an entire group of people.
