    Do not dillute the term Nazi. Trump isn’t Hitler and there are no plans by any US government to seize foreign land as a habitat for the US master race. They’re fascists but not Nazis.

    You also forgot to mention racism.

      Trump and the Republican party are certainly fascist. Perhaps not traditional Nazi but certainly Neo-Nazi in it’s white supremacy, white nativism, and ultranationalism. He is going to do mass deportations, which in practice means concentration camps, will use police and military to ‘deal with’ the ‘enemies within’ meaning US citizens, and have litterally used Hitlarian rhetoric such as ‘Immigrants are poisoning the blood of our nation’ These are all straight up Hitlarian. The Madison Square Garden was a Nazi rally, where ultranationalism and xenophobia were way more prevalent than in 1939.

        You can certainly call Trump a neonazi. I agree with that. I wouldn’t do it because I don’t think his ideology a good enough fit for all the ideas that Neo-Nazi means (e.g. the afformentioned master race habitat expansion) so it can sound like accusing him of ideas he doesn’t have.

        Also I assume you are missing some facts. So let me give you those.

        Concentration Camps are not the same as Death Camps. Both are horrible but creating a system to efficiently deport immigrants and creating a system to efficiently murder immigrants are two very different things.

        The Kristallnacht happened in 1938. all over Germany a couple hundred jews were killed by the joint effort of NSDAP groups and german civilians. 1400 jewish religious sites were destroyed. All in a few days. The Nuremberg Laws were passed in even earlier in 1935. They wrote into law that Jews and their descendants weren’t part of the german people. That was the justification to illegalise Jewish and non Jewish marriagees.

      The foreign conquest comes later once they’ve seized total power and neutralized the internal opposition.

      They’re not going to just sit on a dozen carrier battle groups and the largest functioning nuclear arsenal chief.
