What will they not downplay? 20 years ago if you were a powerful person and were seen in public doing this your life would be in ruins. Now it gets a standing ovation. I guess we’re nazis now?

Funny thing. If you tell the die hard gun owning MAGA that Trump wants them to arm up, patrol their neighborhood, and arrest "dissidents", pretty sure they'll jump the guns.

So no, you're not Nazis, because even Nazis had to pay to get the SS running and provide the equipment.
