    Do not dillute the term Nazi. Trump isn’t Hitler and there are no plans by any US government to seize foreign land as a habitat for the US master race. They’re fascists but not Nazis.

    You also forgot to mention racism.

      Trump and the Republican party are certainly fascist. Perhaps not traditional Nazi but certainly Neo-Nazi in it’s white supremacy, white nativism, and ultranationalism. He is going to do mass deportations, which in practice means concentration camps, will use police and military to ‘deal with’ the ‘enemies within’ meaning US citizens, and have litterally used Hitlarian rhetoric such as ‘Immigrants are poisoning the blood of our nation’ These are all straight up Hitlarian. The Madison Square Garden was a Nazi rally, where ultranationalism and xenophobia were way more prevalent than in 1939.

      The foreign conquest comes later once they’ve seized total power and neutralized the internal opposition.

      They’re not going to just sit on a dozen carrier battle groups and the largest functioning nuclear arsenal chief.

    Bullshit. People are Nazis because they’re assholes and it lets them them rationalise their assholery. Whatever excuse they come up with is incidental.

      This mindset is dangerous, nobody is evil for the sake of it (at last 9999 of 10000 people aren’t) you can’t call people assholes and expect them to listen to you… Thats not how to human.

        They won’t listen to you no matter what. This kind of “enlightened centrism” is a huge part of what got us into this mess. Trying to compromise with Nazis just means the Nazis win. Just look at history., there are plenty of examples.

        Funnily enough, this is a part of the reason why the dems lost the election.

    If that was the actual reason behind Nazism, German would’ve became Nazi in the early 20s.

    The real Nazis were just as pathetic as the modern wannabes.

    Further have to say in fairness to the average american (which… apparently the average american voted for trump).

    It’s not just the price of eggs… it’s basically everything… simply in anecdotal evidence, in the last few years, the price of all living essentials went up. Most people are experiencing their average grocery trip going up 50% or more… Rents skyrocketing etc…

    and the democrats were bad at messaging. When things are hard, people blame the leaders, and Biden does get a lot of credit for, minimizing the damages covid did to our prices etc… Unfortunately the average american heard his response to it as “I did great, everything is good now”. Which didn’t work, because while things may be as good as they could be with the cards that fell… they are very far from good.

    So yes, it’s lack of knowledge. Certainly the biggest point to be made is, trumps tariff plan is massively going to raise the price on everything, economist after economist has pointed out it will raise the price. But honestly I didn’t see much of attacking those plans in harris’s attack ads.
