      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.
