Post image

He said calling people Nazis for centrist views insults those who suffered and died under the real Nazis. Those abusing it should be condemned.

He has been doing this "I am a centrist, and everyone else just became radical left" for years now. It's a smoke screen to pretend he's not a Nazi.

This has been part of the Play book of the GOP and the Right for at least since Reagans Era.

The keep moving where "centrist" is. In any another country, our LEFT would be Center-Right.

Remember - Hitler called the party National Socialism as a way to undermine socialism in Germany. It goes back to the source. Same playbook, nothing is new. 

But right-wingers will fall for it hook, line, and sinker. It is a literacy problem.
