    So, by this godawful trash logic, you’re saying 1930s era Germans shouldn’t have spoken up, because the majority of Germans were onboard with fascism?

    Please seek a better education.

      No… You are absolutely missing the point.

      Calling the Republicans nazis is going to convince zero people they are nazis. What it will do is make all those Biden-Trump voters, or reluctant republican voters discount what we say when it matters.

      If we scream nazi when Elon trolls us, people are much less likely to care when we scream it again about detention centres.

      Unlike you, I understand the danger this administration poses and the importance of addressing it in a meaningful way. Letting Musk troll us into throwing temper tantrums ain’t helping.

        No it convinced me when he did their salute. The one they used as callsign when massacring people by race. Nobody needs convincing. You need action
