George Takei for the win:

If you don’t want to be called N*azis, don’t compare yourselves to N*azis. I don’t make the rules.

1. Or maybe don't go full NAZI...

[Omnipresent]

2. Set em up like bowling pins, and George will knock them down!

Every time!

[dgauss]

3. I don't think this guy understands the context.

He's basically saying this is Trump's chance to consolidate power like Hitler did in Nazi Germany.

Or maybe he does understand...

It was the canary in the political coal mine—a flashpoint event when Adolf Hitler played upon public and political fears to consolidate power, setting the stage for the rise of Nazi Germany. Since then, it’s become a powerful political metaphor. Whenever citizens and politicians feel threatened by executive overreach, the “Reichstag Fire” is referenced as a cautionary tale.

5. He's obviously proud to be a Nazi.

14. Thanks.

21. Ohhhh...boy, we have a Win-nah here!

Delusional ("White Genocide!!!" ) Racist, and Stiffling ("traditional gender roles!" ) Sexist. Blargh! 😑

4. Sounds familiar.

Reichstag Fire Decree

~
With the Nazis in powerful positions in the German government, the decree was used as the legal basis for the imprisonment of anyone considered to be opponents of the Nazis, and to suppress publications not considered "friendly" to the Nazi cause. The decree is considered by historians as one of the key steps in the establishment of a one-party Nazi state in Germany.
~
Within hours of the fire, dozens of Communists had been thrown into jail.

6. What is that idiot babbling about? The Nazis set that fire themselves.

Unfuckingbelievable. The willful ignorance and blind hated for us is as pathetic as it is scary.

[applegrove]

8. Maybe he does think the executive had something to do

with the assassination? Maybe he does understand.

[catbyte]

9. Fair point. I wouldn't put it past them.

[applegrove]

10. Or at least subtly spread the false rumour so the MAGA influencers

would then be afraid to mention Epstein, let alone call for the Epstein files to be released.

[Jack Valentino]

16. And MAYBE they set THIS one!

Something about the whole "ammunition engraved with
Antifa and pro-trans messages" story doesn't smell right to me---

it almost sounds like how the far-right or Q-Anon would 'write' this story,
in a way to most inflame their own base!
(and increase hatred toward the left in general and trans in particular!)

Almost a stereotypical copy of how the far-right depicts "the radical leftists"
as being the main proponents of 'political violence'
which is one of their main current (but inaccurate) narratives...

[hadEnuf]

19. Were the words on they cartridges written backwards too?

The story is absolute bullshit. You have a Trump wingnut operative running the FBI. Don't buy a fucking word of it.

[Jack Valentino]

20. Like The Beatles "Paul Is Dead"???

Not totally convinced that there actually ARE any words engraved on the cartridges---
but that's their narrative so far....

[eppur_se_muova]

22. Heh. I remember that one. nt

[returnee]

23. And then, almost immediately...

…the engraving story is walked back. Back-walking is a thing these days (see: TSF as FBI informer).

[vapor2]

11. WTF? More hatred is just what we need

[applegrove]

12. ????

[Farmer-Rick]

15. And yet we know nothing about the shooter's politics

But hey, let's lock up those who we might think may have done it anyway. Who needs evidence? Let's pretend the political party we are Not supporting killed the guy who made it possible for the shooter to be able to shoot at him.

If that picture the FBI released was actually accurate, (and god knows the FBI is completely unreliable) he kind of looks like a right wing idiot. Liberals are not real fond of wearing excessive nationalistic paraphernalia. It's a right wing dress code not a liberal dress code.

[Devilsun]

17. He obviously has a great understanding

Of History 🙄

[IronLionZion]

18. Some of them want to be called Nazis and they embrace the term openly

They follow the playbook of 1930s Germany repeating all their favorite steps to demonize and punish people they don't like.

Our side is condemning political violence in all its forms. Their side is openly calling for pain and punishment to make themselves feel better.
