What's it going to take for every sane American to start using the term "Nazi," instead of "fascist?" The word "Nazi" makes the point. "Fascists" come and go, but it doesn't carry the weight of the reality that 40 million people died in WWII that was begun by Nazis.
We have the most powerful military that has ever existed on the face of the earth. And if the current party of crazies called Republicans manage to gain full power, they just might make Nazi Germany look like a Boy Scout summer camp by spreading their lust for power throughout the entire world. Who's going to stop them?
Does that sound too harsh to you? Sorry, but do you really want to see us ruled by lunatics such as TFG, Ted Cruz, Tom Cotton, Josh Hawley, Gym Jordan, Marjory Taylor Greene, and so, so many others like them? And while we're talking about them, would someone tell me the difference between them, and the Nazis that almost took over the world in the last century? Oh, okay, I get it. They haven't murdered anyone, they haven't deported undesirables to "reeducation" camps, they haven't built gas chambers, and they haven't constructed ovens to dispose of their victim's remains.
No, they haven't done any of these things. Yet. Because they don't have the power to do these things. Yet.
Would you really like to see what would happen if they did have full power? Do you really believe that they don't have the same mindset (insanity) as that which seized Germany? And I'd really like to hear your response to my calling them Nazis. After all, my reality may not be yours. Please show me how terribly wrong I am. And, most importantly, please tell me every possible thing we can do to prevent these people from ever coming to full power.
