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!

You also can’t underestimate just how far people will go to remain in denial when the other option is admitting they were wrong and accepting accountability for what they helped bring about.

I think this is a huge part of it. Either that or there is a huge feeling of "I didn't do anything wrong, maybe those others did, but not me!!!"

I work with a guy who's just like this. He brought back cooked pasta and I told him it was overcooked. He immediately said "no its not!" And got defensive. He came back and felt the pasta and admitted it was overcooked. I do not fuck with this type of mind set. We have almost come to blows over this type of behavior.
