Bro they are literally calling to exterminate liberals, LGBT and trans people. If you really want to wait until that jackboot is crushing your windpipe so you can smugly whisper "both sides" with your final breath, that's your deal. I will call a spade a spade.

Historians have a word for people who joined the Nazi party, openly associated with Nazis and flew the Nazi flag because of economic anxiety, misplaced politics or simple ignorance.
Nazi. The word is Nazi.
If these people do not like what the party currently stands for, then it is incredibly easy to simply not associate with them.

Dude, literally only one side is calling for the extermination of an entire group of people.

No, I don't hate the other guy. I have 30 years worth of experience dealing with well meaning conservatives. I hate Nazis. I can tell the difference. If you can't because the issue is too close to home, again, that is on you.

Calling such people Nazis is counter productive and only inflames the current issues at hand.
If they talk like a Nazi, act like a Nazi, or sympathize with Nazis, I'm gonna call them a Nazi. There's no room to be tolerant here, Nazis have zero place in our society. And those that are Nazis are right wing and hide within the Republican party. That doesn't make them any less of a Nazi, and we should call them out on it.

Where did I say that all Republicans are Nazis? Look closely, I said no such thing. I am saying that Nazis hide in the Republican ranks. There are openly white supremacist factions within the Republican Party (i.e. "Christian Identitarians") that hide behind a veneer of civility. These groups have far greater influence in the Republican Party than ideological extremists on the left have with the Democratic Party.

Why then is extremist, explicitly Nazi rhetoric so pervasive within the Republican ranks? A good example of this is the United The Right rally in Charlottesville. The Nazis present were not condemned by the leader of the Republican party at that time when it would be the easiest thing for him to do. This tacit implicit support emboldens them for future action. Any sensible President would have denounced Nazis and their actions, especially as a woman was killed as a result of their actions.

The very fact that Manchin/Bernie and McCain/MTG share parties shows the two party system is an issue. Calling every democrat a commie and every Republican a Nazi is retarded.

"Wasn't this the worst part of nazism?"
No, and this is disgusting. The worst part was disenfranchising jews, LGBTQI*-People, communists, disabled people, sinti&roma and others, locking them up under terible conditions and killing millions of them. Deliberatly killing millions of people to get rid of them.

Calling the NAZIs conservatives doesn’t quite fit the history of Germany. Conservative is an ideology that depends on time and place. For example conservatives in Russia are pro-communism.
In the case of the NAZIs they were progressive nationalist socialists advocating for a “third way" that was not liberalism or communism, which is why they campaigned hard as anti-marxists and anti-capitalists. Anti-semitistm was of course a major part of this as well and part of the reason Jewish conspiracy theories seem to simultaneously be associated with both marxism and capitalism.

I don’t really know how to respond to this other than to say your worldview is firmly grounded in ideology.
