I saw a truly disgusting picture on Facebook yesterday. It was Donald Trump peeling his face back (a la Mission Impossible) to reveal Hitler.
It prompted me to write:
Wanting to secure your borders to properly process third-world workers does not make you a Nazi. Wanting to put a moratorium on a group of people (some of which want to kill you) until you figure out how discern between them doesn’t make you a Nazi. Wanting to make the populace proud (once more) of their country doesn’t make you a Nazi. Wanting to reduce your trade deficit doesn’t make you a Nazi. Coming back at someone with both barrels when they’ve fired the first shot doesn’t make you a Nazi. Not allowing someone to shout you down at your own political rally doesn’t make you a Nazi. Wanting to better your countryman’s lot by shaking up the status quo in the political, media, and donor classes doesn’t make you a Nazi. Calling someone a Nazi because you’re too intellectually lazy to form a real opinion makes you, well, intellectually lazy.
