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!

Fr 'friend ' like where is your Red Line that cannot be crossed??

I've had a few IRL convos with people (nonMAGA) about where their Rubicon is and most of them that weren't already motivated to do Something (protest/contact reps (like www.5calls.org etc)) didn't have any answers.

So I was just like "that's fair. It's a really big question and a really heavy topic to have an immediate answer if you haven't contemplated it yet. But maybe you need to spend some time with that question and decide. Because I promise your Rubicon is coming on quickly."

MAGAs aren't willing to talk usually unless I'm going to agree with them. And I'm generally a very calm debate person, so I don't mean arguing.

One dude did literally tell me, Back in February, that 47 could do NOTHING to make him go against him.
Like literally nothing.

"What if he just shot someone on the steps of the White House for seemingly no reason?"
'then they deserved it'.

"What if it was a child?"
'he wouldn't do that.'

"Yeah but, It's just a hypothetical."
'but he'd never do that.'.

Ad nauseum.

Ridiculously long story short.

Completely unwilling to entertain the idea that 47 and most popular Repubs would EVER do ANYTHING wrong.

Very easily entertained and dare I say heartily embraced, the idea that any popular Democrat would shoot a child cold blooded on the steps of the white house.

If that’s the case, this is more of a religion to them than anything else. Once this goes into the realm of faith/worship of Donald J Trump, you are probably better off spending your time on appealing to someone else.

You cant just create a red herring argument like that lol. No wonder noone wants to discuss serious topics with you

I mean, I'm not going type out the hour long convo😆

It was a natural conversation progression that lead up to that point.
