        Trump’s mass deportation and ‘poisoning the blood of our nation’ rhetoric is literally Hitlerian. Nazi as a term is not being watered down here.

        I wouldn’t consider Harris a Nazi though, just another Neo liberal. Although the Democrats shift on the border, conceding to the republican narrative, and the current stance on Israel/Palestine is still concerning

          My issue wasn’t with calling Trump a Nazi (I find that assessment correct), but calling them both Nazis. Yes, the rightward shift is concerning, but the false equivalence put up here understates Trump’s danger and heavily overstates Harris’s.

            I think you accidentally double posted.

            Yeah that’s fair, I agree. I think it’s important to highlight the rachet effect when it comes to Democrats, especially on harmful policies like immigration and foreign policy, but it’s also important to recognize the difference between them and the Republicans. The only avenue for progressive change is with the Democratic Party, but only with enough voters demanding better representation

        Do you have a better term to describe people supporting the systematic murder and ethnic cleansing of people trapped in a concentration camp?

        Nazi is the most accurate term to describe Harris and Trump.

          Nazism has to come from the Auschwitz region of Germany or else it’s just sparkling fascism

            I get the joke but Auschwitz was in Poland. They were careful to keep all the concentration camps out of Germany.

        Hate to break it to you, but America has kids in cages. It is the furthest right country on this planet, and is fairly close to nazism in terms of function.
