unpopular opinion; I believe in the value of definitions of words. I'm not republican (shouldn't matter) but by bending definitions of words like "nazi" - you're diminishing the people who went through the atrocities of WW2
Kind of similar to how you shouldn't say "rape" for something that isn't. in effect you're diminishing rape victims
"nazi" literally means a member of the far-right National Socialist German Workers' Party. Fascist pigs? No doubt. Just don't change history...
Ah, sorry, our mistake.
Neo-nazi. Is that better?
sure, for a smaller segment of republicans
im criticizing the broad strokes ppl are making by correlating republicans to "literal" nazis
Well, what do you call someone who takes orders from, defends, and enables fascistic white supremacists openly looking to purify the blood of their country by ordering loyal thugs to violently remove immigrants and jail anyone who opposes them?
Don't be pedantic.
If someone checks off 9/10 of the qualifiers, treating them like and calling them a nazi is plenty accurate.
