        I wonder if this is the reason why Elon went around Nazi saluting. Republicans have mastered the art of confusing the general public by overusing words and phrases.

        “Fake news” used to mean something entirely different before Trump co-opted it to mean any news that he didn’t like.

        After Trump was impeached twice, Republicans started throwing around impeachment not only for Biden, but for lower level officials as well, so people would think “oh impeachment must be a normal thing.”

        It’s kind of telling that Republicans are doing intentional Nazi-like shit, therefore getting the general public, like the person you responded to, to think that “Nazi” is just a term the left throws around recklessly.

        We’re at a point where they’re throwing people in camps like Alligator Auschwitz without trial - and then people say “that’s what the Nazis used to do” and then it just gets laughed off like “oh you know the left, always accusing everyone of being Nazis.”

        I once got called a Nazi and a Communist at the same time.

        It was in response to a remark about social healthcare systems, which I can’t deny both Marx and the Nazis’ NSV were all for that. But one could note some slight differences in opinion on how to go about it, plus a few other little things here and there.

          Jeeze, don’t they even know Nazis were socialist?

          … /s They were not socialist and all that rhetoric was purely populist pandering. They in fact did not believe in socialized healthcare or much of anything else. They didn’t even build the autoban like so many mininformed people like to claim.

        Long running troll, posts a bunch of hyper-capitalist, winner take all, libertarian bullshit. I’d almost call it a bit.
