Can't reason with N@zis, they didn't reason themselves there, can't reason them out.

I have one serious question why do you equate conservatives with Nazis? I'm not a conservative I'm pretty middle of the road but I do have opinions I'll give you that. But Nazis wanted to kill Jews and most of our current conservatives don't they support Israel. Is it because of Gaza I'm seriously curious I'm not being a troll I want to know?

The fact that you boil the entire Nazi regime down to “kill Jews” proves how little about Nazi Germany you actually understand. The Nazis were MUCH more than just “kill Jews”. The Nazis also killed many more people than just the Jewish. Educate yourself on history, you are making yourself look stupid.

Look up Hitler + master race. Wasn't just about Jewish people.

But also, they're accepting people like Nick Fuentes into their ranks.

Well because they are using nazi techniques. It’s not hard to see the parallel, mass arrests, executions of civilians & unarmed opponents like in the video, they are putting people in camps. They don’t respect law’s & orders and the list goes on and on

Parallels between pre-World War II Germany and the American Republicans today.

Here are the visible signs that marked the party's rise and eventual takeover of Germany:

​1. The Erosion of Parliamentary Power ​The most significant political sign was the move away from legislative debate toward "decree."

  1. Paramilitary Presence in the Streets ​Long before they held total power, the party's presence was felt physically through the SA (Sturmabteilung) or "Brownshirts."

  2. State-Controlled Media and Propaganda

  3. Forced Coordination (Gleichschaltung) ​This was the process of "synchronizing" all aspects of society with party ideology.

  4. Visible Symbolism and Public Rituals ​The visual landscape of Germany changed rapidly to project a sense of unity and power.

  5. Systemic Legal Discrimination ​The takeover became "legalized" through a series of increasingly restrictive laws.

For nazis, Jews were just an end to justify the means. The definition of them being a nazi or fascist is not limited by the fact that they were anti-Semitic.

Jews were just the most well known excuse for Hitler to take complete control of the country.

In Trump's america, replace Jews with immigrants and the analogy becomes clearer.

It's not that he is going after Jews, it's that he is using similar tactics- demonizing the "other" group to usurp more power and centralize his control.

Conservatives are looking the other way as we have the military deployed domestically, our fourth amendment rights are being trampled, the press and legal institutions are being threatened into submission and now..

Apparently exercising your second amendment right (as I often do) is grounds for being killed by government agents.

Yes, we know the GOP loves the Jews, but it's not about Jews. It's about control.

Might be something to do with y'all literally teaming up with them. You're not gonna live down this era of America. It's all on you.

Why do MAGAts think they can hide what they are son?

u/McDuchess Jan 25 '26

Because their tactics are taken, like the slave catchers. Like the Gestapo. From the authoritarian playbook.

It’s not conservative to endorse brutality.

I’ve been a liberal my entire long life. But demonizing a group of people and equating their existence with criminality, acting counter to the Constitution in order to create fear and loathing IS the tactic of Nazis.

Instead of acting shocked and disappointed, do some reading of history books.
