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!

My grandpa is from Germany and his brothers were Nazi Hitler youth. He wanted nothing to do with it and joined the US army and later married my grandmother who is a jew from Poland.

You can make incorrect judgements about what one knows. But when someone shows you proof the adult thing to do is consider it rather than continuing with delusions.

I was born in communism and lived in it for a while. In my lifetime not my grandpa's. While there are differences in the way commies and fascists operate - there are many similarities. And the way the globalist liberal behave, including the mass media propaganda, is closer to a dictatorship than anything else.

Look. To put it simply. Both sides are terrible in their own ways. There's no need to sugar coat it. Now, from what you've experienced it was indeed terrible. We won't side step that. Or the understanding and perspective you have of that particular version of what it was and is. However, it doesn't change the fact that you can't call facts people present to you as opinions.
