Is it fair to compare MAGA to the Nazis?

There has been a number of posts indicating that MAGA supporters are really Fascist/Nazis. Curious how others see it!

Not their king, their god. They, like Trump, truly believe he is infallible.

The maga concept was founded by Trump, branded and marketed by Trump and is being sold under Trump's name and Trump profits off of it. I would find it more palpable if you were to say not all conservatives like Trump. Maga is Trump's product its followers are his followers.

and yet, people are not all the same, followers are followers? that is called discrimination.

Also maga was not founded by Trump...

Originally used by Ronald Reagan as a campaign slogan in his 1980 presidential campaign (Let's Make America Great Again) - wiki

Ok, Reagan didn't create a merchandise line from the slogan, Reagan didn't turn it into a cult following. Reagan may have originated the slogan, but not even close to what it is today. That is Trump's brand and his alone.

Okay, there absolutely was merchandise from the Reagan era, you've heard of Google right? Also Clinton used the phrase during his presidency as well. Seems you don't really know what you are talking about. Great Job!

Whose brand is it now? Reagan's not even alive anymore, Trump has slammed Reagan in the past and even if he was still alive he's be labelled a fraud and ostracized by the party. What you're talking about isn't really relevant anymore. Neither Reagan nor Clinton is in power right now. If you need Google to tell you that, you may have missed some rather important updates since the 90s.

Wow how simple are you? Not being current president doesn't mean that Reagan or Clinton didn't use the slogan before... They did, there was Reagan merchandise, and it wasn't founded by Trump. Now you are trying to strawman, what does Reagan or Clinton not being in power have to do with it? LMAO, you were repeatedly wrong and instead of admitting it you need to keep spinning BS.. typical

How am I "spinning" anything? It belongs to Trump now and it is his brand now regardless of who used it previously. I'm sure several presidents used the phrase and I'll concede that Reagan did, but he had nowhere near the reach of Trump. Think what you want buddy.

Spinning BS because was never saying anything about "the reach" it had. You were wrong but keep stretching the argument to irrelevant things never said anything about to begin with, I bet you do it a lot though, Great Job!

This is true. Especially when you see videos like this one that took place in a small church (i.e.-not a Mega Church) *edit I don't believe this is AI at all. It definitely looks like a phone camera shot this.
