I fucking told you this was coming. I warned you that the GOP was plunging headfirst into Nazi ideology. It was fucking obvious to anyone who took even the briefest course in Holocaust Literature and examined the Nazis’ ideology and their rise to power in the early twentieth century. Hell, multiple Holocaust survivors themselves tried to warn about it.

And when those of us who actually studied this shit tried to raise the alarm, ignorant asshats screamed, “Stop calling them Nazis! That’s immature name-calling. You can’t just call anyone you don’t like a Nazi.”

I don’t call them Nazis “because I don’t like them.” I call them Nazis because they are fucking Nazis. As in they have adopted, point for point, the Nazi ideology.

(Oh, many of them will still object to being called Nazis–even while their supporters literally march with Swastika flags. But then again, except for a brief period when some tried to “reclaim” the term, most WWII Nazis didn’t like being called Nazis, either–it was originally the short version of a name that was popular with uneducated rural folks, but that came to mean basically “stupid hick.” And it just so happened to work well as a shortened version of the actual party name.)
