Does this mean if you talk to an Amerian it a coin toss whether they are a Nazi or not? Jesus wtf is this timeline
Pretty much. I've never been more disappointed in my fellow Americans than over the last few months.
Both the apathy, and the actual Nazis running around.
Most of the folk I know of that are out of the loop think I'm exaggerating.
2/3rds of Americans don't even have a single clue what is going on. Otherwise they would have voted instead of staying home.
honestly some are just uninformed. millions didn't know joe Biden had dropped out of the race!
also hard to say what percent are fox news brainwashed, and what are truely Nazi.
It's rare to run into an American Nazi since Nazis are socialists.
To address the down votes, Nazi meant National Socialist Party of Germany.
MAGAs will strongly avoid being referred to as socialist.
I personally don't they removed any inequality, unless you mean in the most extreme description.
🤦♂️

Look, just because they called themselves socialists for votes doesn't mean that they were actually socialists.

I have a hard time explainin MY political views when people tell me that Nazis were socialists too.
"First they came for the socialists..."
You have actually no clue what any of the words you just used mean...
Nazis go after socialists
I'm fully aware what the words mean and that actual socialism was far, far away from the goals of that party. The Nazi party used the word socialist in their name to get people's attention. Fascism cannot coexist with socialism.
My point is that you aren't going to get the average American MAGA to say they are Nazis. It's not because of the genocide, but because they don't want to be considered socialists.
https://www.britannica.com/story/were-the-nazis-socialists. <-The answer is definitely NO, but explains the use of language to deceive the populace.
This poll is from 2019, but I would experct more than 69% of Republicans would reject the idea of socialism now. After all, isn't that the point of cutting all these social services? https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2019/10/07/in-their-own-words-behind-americans-views-of-socialism-and-capitalism/
Americans turn a blind eye on their own genocide. We were taught that the cowboys were the good guys and that 'Indians' were stupid killers (except for maybe some of the good ones). We had a mission from God to expand. The trail of tears and other atrocities are hardly mentioned.
Americans knew about the persecution of Jewish and other people, but didn't act until Pearl Harbor.
So, my point is that MAGA is the new Nazi, but you can't say Nazi because Nazis are socialists and socialism is unamerican.
Who cares what most of them admit to? They won't even admit that all their psychobabble about "DEI" is just because they cannot get away with shouting the n-word in polite company.
Calling them racists gets their dander up, even though so many of them clearly are.
My only point was that Nazi as a label applies to a terrible fascist regime that convinced a country that their Jewish population was the source of their troubles and had brutally murdered millions.
MAGAs are a terrible fascist regime that has so far convinced a country that their immigrant population is the source of their troubles. They are using Capitalism as their tool. Eventually they may end up at the same place, but the American ego will reject being a socialist faster than being a Nazi.
Socialists that lean into racism and dictatorships.
All I'm saying is it's semantics.
I'm just calling them Republican.
