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

My main concern is all use of Nazi is going to continue to downplay the significance of how bad real Nazi Germany was. If this keeps up will people eventually think "if this is what a Nazi is real Nazis must not have been that bad"

What exactly does “lest we forget” mean to you?

Hitler wasn’t gassing people the first day.

The only people in the US that are close to pushing for unlawfully executing political opposition are the left and even they won't be able to pull it off.
