Just to clarify, I was not referring to anybody as a Nazi, I simply noted, that the method of blocking votes and using “the system” against itself is not new. And when the methods someone uses have been deployed by the literal original nazis, then I find this noteworthy.
I agree in general. The term is used as a strong word to clarify someone’s stand point, but besides cheers from within the own bubble and resistance from. The other bubble, nothing happens. The bubbles won’t be dissolved that way.
I the end, I think, globally, there is no fight “left VS right” but democrats VS autocrats (not referring to the democratic party here) , and whoever values liberty should stand together against autocrats independently of the party someone prefers.
I disagree, not because I think they have an agenda which may or may not yield similar results, but because the majority of Republicans aren’t Nazis. They do not want to extend the “Lebensraum” for Germans, they blame and marginalized different minorities and they are not running around in Nazi uniforms (again, the majority). That doesn’t make them in principle any better, but Nazis were as a matter of fact in Europe…
There have been plenty of autocracies before, during and after Nazi Germany, Nazis were simply the term that stuck.
Call them by what they really are: autocrats. They are unable to deny this. If you call them Nazi, the counter argument is obvious: we can’t be Nazis, because we. Didn’t kill millions of people in concentration camps(yet).
Calling anybody a Nazi does not fulfill any purpose besides getting applause from people in the same bubble as you’re already in.
That’s my point. Feel free to disagree.

It’s fine to call the GOP Nazis since they’re reading the same playbook and sitting at the same table as them
