    Lol yeah I kind of second guessed it based on how stupid people can be and that there would be some people dumb enough to think republicans are equivalent to the Nazis.

      Sure they’re not literally identical, but both are fascist parties that have more ideological similarities then they do differences. And the Nazi ideology is on record taking inspiration from Jim Crow laws in the US.

        Most humans have more ideological similarities than they do differences, so of course that is going to be true, especially when you’re pulling from a group of people who come from extremely similar cultures.

        But that doesn’t change the fact that there are obvious differences between the two parties on issues that are impactful and important.

          Both groups had race science laws, one inspiring the other

          Well, people are more similar than dissimilar, so of course there are commonalities!
