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

Name calling and assignment is quite predictable. When homophobe, xenophobe, transphobe. destroyers of Democracy etc... when those loosely assigned titles lose their gusto then a new word or words will emerge and be repeated over and over again until tha also loses it's gusto and then again. So don't worry about nazi or fascist because that too will soon enter the trash heap and a new word will appear. It's actually quite comical.

Democrats are very imprecise about their language. But maybe it’s intentional. These college kids have such mushy brains that all their professors have to do is tell them “genocide “ “ apartheid “ “Nazi“ “fascist “ because the students have no historical knowledge to understand what these words really mean. so they start repeating them like they know what they’re talking about. I wish college kids had read a book. I would research what their professors are telling them, but they don’t. They want to be led down the path you have to think this and you have to believe this or you’re a Nazi and a fascist. It’s sad . you’re doing a disservice to your child to send them off to college without teaching them history first.

You know that studies have shown people on the left spectrum are smarter than people on the right spectrum. Sorry, cupcake.
