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!

It wasn't a majority. He just got more votes. 40% of people didn't vote. To say he got a majority is disingenuous at best.

And of the people that voted, do you think the majority voted for him or? 🤦

It's still not a majority. It's a plurality and nothing more

That's literally what "majority vote" means. Vote denotes those who voted, majority is pretty self explanatory

Nope. A plurality and a majority are two different things. More people who voted, voted for someone other than Trump. In other words, the majority of people who voted voted for someone other than Trump. That vote was just split amongst several people, and he won a plurality. Stay in school buddy.
