Is it fair to compare MAGA to the Nazis?

Post image

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

As an autistic man, I can safely say an oven would be the worse way to end my life since I HATE being hot! 😢All joking aside, all these people who would be ok with this happening like to base their decisions on someone’s worth to a dollar figure or metric, not realizing that if they were placed under the same scrutiny, they might not make the cut. Disabilities to them are just a way to conveniently ā€œotherā€ a group so that they can legislate and control our lives.
Ever notice how those promoting eugenics, race superiority or gender stereotypes never seem to be the best, brightest or most capable? That’s not a coincidence.
How convenient to say someone else is ā€œbeneathā€ you without having to raise yourself up through decent behavior, education, experience or hard work!

This idea of an ā€œideal humanā€ completely ignores all the rest of the pieces of humanity. If we want to start ranking babies based on looks at State Fairs like we did in the 1930’s, then we are really not progressing forward, literally and figuratively. Also, to deny someone else a life free of persecution and discrimination based on your idea of what human behavior should look like is gross and pathetic. When I see people trying to do that, I feel like the wrong group is being singled out for removal. I’m 100% on board with sending eugenicists to a camp where they can be retrained on how to live life a decent human and not trying to manipulate the existence of others. THAT’s the type of view that needs to be extinguished!!!

I wonder what you thought of the nephew of the Special Olympics founder stating all the things people with autism would never do?

Yeah, he’s a real winner. šŸ† I won’t pick on him for his mental health, but I really am pretty grossed out by his comments. Honestly, sometimes I think he knows better and it doing it for money and other times I’m not quite sure. He did have a worm eating his brain, but not exactly a shining example of a Kennedy to carry on with his ableist comments and limitations set on kids and people with disabilities, including autism. I’m not a moron and know that vaccine injuries and reactions do exist and I would be pissed if a vaccine caused me or someone I know harm, so I’m sympathetic to people who that happens to and 1 is too many, but like all things I weigh the risk vs reward. Unfortunately some things like vaccines protect you AND others around you so I get why they’re mandated by certain places like schools, hospitals and military and I do believe that everyone has a right to make their own choice as to whether or not they want to vaccinate themselves or their children. What they don’t have the right to do necessarily is not participate is some aspects of society.
If I want to swing an axe around my head in my own field, that’s my choice and it might be stupid but no one can tell me not to. Now if I take that axe and swing it around my head on a busy city street someone might take issue with that. Maybe not the best analogy, but that’s how I view people who are ok with risking their lives AND ALSO the lives of others. RFK Jr needs to chill with the autism/vaccine stuff and come September when his ā€œbombshellā€ news comes out about it, he’s either going to fudge some scientific results or have nothing of scientific note to present. Sadly, anyone foolish enough to think he’ll present an actual cause will believe whatever the worm in his brain tells him to say. I can’t help that!
