I really blame the Hitler narrative the left created for causing these people so much stress.
At this point they really are just trivializing the Holocaust
I think it’s okay to invoke the nazis if you’re actually trying to make a serious point. The history of the nazis is quite well known and hence it makes sense to use the nazis to better understand modern events.
But also, there are aspects of the nazis that are entirely unique to them. Saying Trump is fascist, racist or authoritarian is valid. But ffs shut up about Hitler, he wasn’t the only authoritarian to ever exist.
In fact I’d argue most world leaders nowadays are authoritarians.
