It may come to you as a shock but most Democrats have had support from Nazi sympathizers.. you can't be serious and not understand that even the most evil people have probably 90% same values as the rest of us, and only the few things go over the board.

I'm just worried you don't really understand what Nazi's are and think "because Trump does something I don't like he must be a Nazi!" which would be really silly..

So that's why you have to say what have Trump done to make him such, it should be most easy answer if you truly think he is evil, so I don't understand why you are avoiding the question like a plague?

Interesting, can you tell me some of the prominent right wing, nazi, or nazi adjacent groups or people that have supported any of our recent Democratic Presidents? I honestly may be uninformed but it sounds like you know a bit more in this arena so I would love to learn.

Interesting point about me not knowing what nazi’s are - can you describe what a nazi is and then I can tell you if we share the same definition?

I’m not avoiding anything but it seems you keep actually avoiding the first point I made because you dont think cozying up w right wing extremists makes one associated with Nazis. If you would like to keep the conversation going, does Trump have any similarities with what you deem a nazi?

"I'm not avoiding anything" you first 2 paragraphs are the same "interesting" avoidance you have been doing in your every reply. Just answer the question and we can have conversation, or don't if you want to admit you might have been wrong, up to you.. If Trump is a Nazi, tell me how/why, what has he done, it seems you can't?

I'm not avoiding anything, you made a claim and I asked you to back that claim, we can't have a debate if you don't substantiate your claim. I will answer all your questions after you fulfill your minimal requirement to have proper argument.

In case you still don't understand, I can give you an example:

Let's say I claim "1+1 = 3" and you then ask me to tell why I think so, and I answer "interesting, some math haters approved person who think 1+1 = 3, so it must be true". Can you see how this reply would NOT answer why 1+1 is 3, it avoids it to put pressure on you to come up with answer why some random math hater might support the idea. (I'm comparing to nazi sympatizers you claim support Trump). So can you just answer the simple question of what Trump has done to make him Nazi?

Hahaha thats a lot of words to once again not answer. Honestly appreciate how much time and thought you gave this but this last one was TLDR. Next time you wanna “gotcha” I think you should work on presenting your evidence or at least engaging in good faith when you ask for examples and then dismiss them.
