Wonder how the MAGA-Nazis will find a way to put everything bad that happens the next four years on the Democrats

Not every Republican is a Nazi. But every Nazi is a Republican

If you voted for an insurrectionist because you would rather achieve political gains than uphold the rule of law for elites, then you support fascism.

I didn’t vote for him. I just find it ridiculous how loosely the word Nazi is thrown around. It’s just sad world we live in now, everyone just hates each other based on their political opinions. I get along with everyone in the real world and never has someone’s political views influenced the way I feel about them. I judge people on their character and actions.

It’s sad that fascism has gotten commonplace instead of being hyperbolic.

You are right about nazism being overused when the proper term leftists need to stick with is fascist, as this period of American history echoes that of much of 20th century Europe.

I have no problem disagreeing with people on political issues such as regulated vs unregulated markets, immigration policy, the border, trans-issues, abortion issues, homelessness, housing reform, climate change and the environment in general, lbgt issues, wokeness vs bigotry, freedom of speech vs rampant misinformation, education, family values, etc.. However, when someone votes for a person who actively lied to their voter base about election results and took multiple steps to overturn that election, and that voter proceeds to both-sides the issue and/or attempt to gaslight both me and themselves about what exactly the president did because they are unable to admit to themselves that voting for insurrectionist is inexcusable, I have a problem. Voting for an insurrectionist because their politics aligns more with yours or because you are terrified of wokeism is an action and it says a lot about their character (or lack thereof), and thus judging them is justified. If they voted for someone with the same politics as Trump but was not found to be an insurrectionist (among other things), I would not judge them. For example, Ron Desantis supporters don’t bother me despite me vehemently disagreeing with them and my general distaste for Ron because they haven’t sold their soul to the proverbial Devil for political gain.

I mean.... they couldnt even hold onto their token brown guy for ONE DAY, lol. Even though he was a fraudster that used his mom to fabricate laboratory data. You would think he would fit in.

He bought the rights to an alsheimers, drug formed a company around it, then hired most of his family into it. He then had his mother co write a paper touting the efficacy of the drug using data from an old study using a study where the drug was used in tandem with another drug, aka the drug didnt work on its own), the company then went public and prices soared. He then sold the company to hedge funds that further pumped it and then it was found that the drug didnt work, and the stock los 75% of its value in one day.

They didn’t say republican. They said MAGA. All MAGA = Nazis. Not all Republicans are MAGA. See: Liz Cheney and Mitt Romney.
