It's the classic "boy who cried wolf" story, actually. You fling around that label to so many people that it doesn't have the bite it had before. You don't oppose Nazism, you oppose anyone who doesn't agree with your very narrow, very extreme views, and you become pro control/censorship to those you oppose, and would be happy with them being arrested for their views. Thus, you become the Nazi yourself.
Nazis are pro control/censorship. Trump MAGA have openly advertised that their full agenda is control/censorship and a destruction of freedoms. You have been duped. They ARE nazis. They are proud Nazis. The Naxi Party endorses them. Nazi voters support them. They are Nazis. We saw they were Nazis last time around, and they openly said they were Nazis this time around. That's why I say they're Nazis: because they're Nazis. And the fact that you are one of them and try to pretend you aren't a Nazi is proof that you KNOW that you are evil and unAmerican and that this isnt a "difference of opinion"; you are a psychopath that wants to hurt people. I come from a family of patriots who proudly killed your kind and got parades for it.
I agree, any authoritarian government is. The Twitter files and Zuckerberg coming out to say that the government requested they censor information that would have benefitted trump is a prime example. I don't see a single policy or line of thinking from the maga part that is pro- censorship.
I haven't seen any proof of actual Nazi support that the maga party works with or accepts. Richard Spencer came out supporting Kamala Harris when he realized maga wanted nothing to do with him and didn't agree with his or the parties ideas or goals.
Some ass tried to join a trump boat parade in Florida with a Nazi flag and parade members drowned his boat out, lol. Maga is anti-nazi in the actual sense, not in the everybody-who-disagrees-with-me-is-a-nazi sense.
Twitter literally censors and bans anyone who objects to MAGA or Nazism. The entire point of Musk's control was to censor opposition and promote apartheid and Nazi-style racism. There is no news item whatsoever that you can present that changes that.
That's not true at all. I follow lots of people on Twitter who object to MAGA. Don't follow any Nazis so I can't say about that.
It is absolutely true and lots and lots of examples have been exposed since the rebuild. You live in a bubble of fascism.
