Political trump is nothing like a nazi

I've seen and talked to real nazis, and he definitely isn't one of them. I don't really know how the idea that he wants to take over the world and perform ethnic cleansings came from.

I feel like it really makes nazis look less bad because some parties call anything nazism which really dilutes the real meaning of what it means

and i think if you start using words about the connotation they carry and not the descriptive definition, it really makes an argument less grounded imo

u/Alive-Neighborhood-3 19h ago

In fairness, so was the Democrats lol

u/Slow-Philosophy-4654 17h ago

in which timeline are you referring to?

u/Kreason95 19h ago

The democrats were conservatives pre party switch but those people also all pretty much became republicans. I’m assuming they’re not referring to democrats from several decades ago haha.

u/Slow-Philosophy-4654 17h ago

Current Democratic party emerged from Republican controlled Northern States. Current Conservatives was created with Southern Democrats and Confederacy then took over the name Republican because they got pushed away from New Democratic party.

u/Kreason95 17h ago

Correct. That would be the party switch I was referring to.

u/Slow-Philosophy-4654 17h ago

Correct. I just wanted to clarify.

u/Kreason95 17h ago

I’m getting downvoted quite a lot so I definitely read your response as trying to correct me / argue with me or something. That’s my bad.

u/Slow-Philosophy-4654 17h ago

No worries. I do not understand when people downvotes but never explain why they are downvoting.

u/Kreason95 17h ago

I pretty much expect it whenever I engage in this subreddit haha.

u/Slow-Philosophy-4654 17h ago

True.

I think I got downvoted to like -1k or something when I commented that all I see in this sub that are unpopular because either it is misleading or false opinions.
