Which political party actually acts like Nazis? Trump Jr says it's the Democrats.

[Twilight Hue]

He's made some good points. It's no secret that Democrats have called for violence and in some cases had gotten violent already over political philosophy.

What do you have in mind specifically ?

 

[YmirGF]

Neither party is even remotely close to the Nazi party of 1930.

There are good people on both sides...

Now you know that there are no good people on that side.

I remember when they used to associate the Democrats with Communists. I always thought that was a bit overdone. Or they might have called them "pinkos" or "communist sympathizers" if they couldn't be pinned down as "Card Carrying Communists."

Now, they seem to be trying a different tack. It's like Godwin's Law being taken to a whole new level.

I don't have any illusions about the Democratic Party at all. I think most of the party leadership is made up of money-grubbing, power-hungry hypocrites - just like the Republicans. They are politicians, after all. They may be corrupted, mobbed-up, dishonest - but they're not Nazis.

It's transparently obvious that this is a cheap ploy. Perhaps it may be tongue-in-cheek - a sarcastic, satirical response to the constant charges that "Trump = Hitler."

Let's count all the Democrats that have called for violence, then count all the Republicans.

Ready?

The claim of similarity between the Democratic & 1930s Nazi platforms is an old one.
I recall first seeing it several decades ago....long before Trump became newsworthy.

Hit'm with the false equivalency stick!

Oh, there were plenty of good Nazis. They wanted to get a fair shake in international politics, the right to take pride in their heritage instead of being shamed for it, the right to protect themselves from dangerous foreign ideologies and suspected foreign influence in the supposedly democratic process... They thought they were as good as "baseball and apple pie", where by baseball and apple pie we mean apfelstrudel and bandy matches. Sure, there were some violent incidents here and there, but you know, people get frustrated when they aren't given their fair shake. Aren't "both sides" really to blame for what happened?

Not saying either party is identical with the Nazis, but politics never changes all that much. People can imagine themselves as decent, hard-working, god-praising, family-loving patriots no matter what horrific ideology has floated to the top in their generation. It's what makes said ideologies so dangerous. Most people don't wake up in the morning and go "hey, I'm gonna go do some evil things today!" But a lot of people are willing to overlook some evils done by others, or deny that they are happening at all, if the end result is something they think will be beneficial for society in the long run. Dangerous waters, whatever party you ascribe to.

I agree that neither party is an exact duplicate of the German National Socialists... however one party is indulging in enough similarities to be getting alarming. If we are heading in that general direction, wouldn't it be nice to address the parallels before they become any more of a problem? Before we get to the exact duplicate stage?

Note I say this about the party I personally identify most closely with.

This is one of the worst legacies of German National Socialism. People expect evil, when it arrives, to be obvious. Goosestepping in with armbands and yelling "achtung!" But evil arrives quietly, gradually, drip by drip, where otherwise good people let their base prejudices have just a little more free reign than usual, otherwise good people engaging in just a little act of petty spite or revenge they wouldn't normally, otherwise good people not saying anything or looking the other way when other otherwise good people "just do their jobs" and perpetrate injustice.

How about???

Which political party is actually supported by Nazis, KKK?

Funny how this works huh?

Well you do have Antifa for starters, pretty much a group of people who like to consider themselves the "muscle" and pushing leftist views through attempts at intimidation and the like. I'm pretty sure all of them are Democrats. Anyways it seems like a grass-roots version of the brown shirts early on as Nazism started to ramp up.

More and alarmingly you have actual politicians like Maxine Waters version of mob politics as it applies to the left arm of the Democrats.

And of course our social justice warriors of the left with the poster people from Evergreen College walking around campus carrying baseball bats.
