I made a point, and you missed it.
He's not calling them the Reich because "they disagree with him."
He calls them the Reich because he's observed over the years how cozy they have become with actual Nazis, support Nazi ideology and behavior...oh, and because many of them are actually Nazis that show up at rallies with Nazi regalia and chant "kill the jews!" Nazi slogans....I mean, because they
are actually Nazis. ....and they all vote Republican.
I mean, should we pretend that this very real relationship isn't there? Were those liberal Nazis in Charlottesville?
My point, as it has always been, is that folks like that fellow invent their own reasons for why people are being called Nazis. They downplay the criticism because they refuse to accept the truth of it. If you can hand-wave away observable racist violence and classic Nazi sloganeering as "someone that just disagrees with me," then that's on you folks. That's something you guys probably need to address within yourselves.
I've only ever called people Nazis when they are quite clearly presenting themselves as Nazis. They WANT to be Nazis, lol. Why defend them?
When someone says a person is "waving the Nazi flag"...it is actually literal these days. It isn't a figure of speech. You guys need to get up to speed!
