    yeah, current republican sentiment is problematic. It’s an interesting and really hard problem to deal with, for multiple reasons. Because on one hand it’s a frogs in a boiling pot problem, but on the other it’s also really hard to do anything about because they just reverse anything you throw at them, and pretend you’re the one being the nazi, not them.

      Also an old Nazi tactic.

      “Mean old Weimar Republic, muzzling our holsum leader, don’t they believe in freeze peach???”

      And the Weimar Republic gave in, like the spineless fucks they were.

        can we just start referring to this shit as “hitlerisms” to start making a more dramatic point? Or would that be bad?

          A more general “Fascist shite” might be more appropriate. Hitlerisms sounds like a verbal tic of Hitler or something, lol

            maybe, but i think a hitlerism would be a very funny and silly thing to point out, though maybe that in it of itself is problematic lol.
