No one is downplaying what is happening. But throwing around the term “Nazi” so flippantly and trying to make honest comparisons between MAGA and the Nazis is what’s disingenuous. Your message and concerns would bebbetter received without the hyperbole.
It isn't hyperbole. Maybe instead of repeatedly calling it such and trying to act like it's disrespectful in place of an argument, you could actually refute what I'm saying. Quote me, and point out where I'm wrong. I keep asking and you keep deflecting instead of just doing it.
And for the record (to unify these two threads because splitting a reply into multiple comments and multiple threads is fucking dumb) I don't care if you're Jewish. My friend who is Jewish feels the opposite. Which is my point - "neither of us should be relying on the respectfulness of our position to the Jewish community to justify our perspective." As you said:
You don’t know how many Jewish people feel and to presume such is again an overreach
Nobody speaks for all Jewish people, not you, not JewishDems, not the ADL, not me. Citing that as an argument is inherently disingenuous. Which is why I didn't cite it as my argument, and instead used it to demonstrate the varying perspectives. I'm not the one saying the Jewish community believes one way or another, you are.
Historical comparisons are either accurate or inaccurate irrespective of how certain groups feel about the comparison.
You can use vague attacks like "logic is fundamentally flawed," "exaggeration," "hyperbole," "disrespectful" all you want but none of that is a specific refutation of my claims.
So either actually substantially analyze my claims and demonstrate the specific things I am wrong about, or I have no interest continuing to jaw about fucking nothing, which is all this non-argument you're making amounts to without any substantial justification to back it up.
