I agree it used to mean actual, armband wearing, genocide creating, goose stepping evil people that started WWII.
Yes today there are still people who somehow support that shit with the books, flags, tats and armbands to prove it. There is a term for it. Neo Nazi. If you want Nazis to punch these are it, though it might not make them any less of one.
Now by that standard is Trump a Nazi? No. But some throw the term around to essentially mean group=bad. The left crazies do it with nazi, the right crazies do it with communism. Over time it loses meaning to the point where nobody takes it seriously. Boy who cried wolf. The way to stop that is to only use the term on the real people, not the kinda sorta if you squint your eyes it’s similar in a way people. Not to say they they aren’t assholes or don’t deserve to be called out by other terms…
Anyway yes people hate the real deal Nazis, but probably not every group someone on twitter slaps that label on to. End rant.
Trump may not be a Nazi or a Neo-Nazi, as those are extremely specific subsets of Fascism. Trump is an authoritarian fascist. His TV series proved that well before his second or third presidential campaign.
I agree. But he’s also not “actual Hitler” as many have said over the years. It’s different levels of asshole and I wish people had more nuance is my point
