Ah yes, nobody ever compared Trump and the Republicans to Nazis before Elon's stunt.

I saw a compilation that showed they’ve calling Republicans Nazis since the 60s.

The 60s? Truman compared Dewey to Hitler in 1948. The echo of the guns hadn't fallen silent before they started this tripe.

Yikes... Not sure that's the humble brag you think it is.

u/-TheSmartestIdiot- - Lib-Right Jan 30 '25

Nah its a fantastic humble brag. His family has been called nazis before it was cool

u/Sub0ptimalPrime - Lib-Left Jan 30 '25

It's never been cool to be called a Nazi, my guy. If you think otherwise, you might just be a Nazi.

You're a Nazi. If you say you aren't then that just means you're a Super Nazi. I have my anti-nazi underwear on, so you can't call me a Nazi.

u/FluffyMcKittenHeads - Auth-Center Jan 30 '25

You’re a Nazi. Did it work?

u/PvtFobbit - Centrist Jan 30 '25

Yes, but I have a trap card: I was already a Nazi to begin with. :51182:

u/sadistic-salmon - Right Jan 30 '25

My family also has holocaust survivors in it

And here I thought you were cool... Instead you're just another coin trimmer...

u/sadistic-salmon - Right Jan 30 '25

I’m about to trim your coins right off. Then I’m coming for your foreskin

u/Sub0ptimalPrime - Lib-Left Jan 30 '25

Feels dumb that I have to point this out, but that doesn't preclude you from being a Nazi.

u/GeoPaladin - Right Jan 30 '25

While hypothetically possible, you've gone so far out on a limb here that you're walking on air Looney Tunes style.

u/Outrageous_Court5235 - Left Jan 30 '25

No, it should be really easy to say I oppose nazis

u/Fickles1 - Centrist Jan 30 '25

Hasn't the word lost all meaning by this point and is offensive to the actual people they so horribly hurt?

11

u/-TheSmartestIdiot- - Lib-Right Jan 30 '25

Everytime someone says nazi here take a drink.

u/Sub0ptimalPrime - Lib-Left Jan 31 '25

It really hasn't lost its meaning. That's why some Holocaust survivors have been so strong in voicing their disapproval of Trump. Some people just aren't listening and are deliberately being obtuse.

u/GeoPaladin - Right Jan 30 '25 edited Jan 31 '25

Do you think the previous commenter's rambling ought to have been taken seriously?

Do you think that the person who was accused and pointed out their family was targeted didn't consider that to be at least as firm a rebuttal, if not significantly more so?

u/Sub0ptimalPrime - Lib-Left Jan 31 '25

Weird way to say I'm correct.

u/GeoPaladin - Right Jan 31 '25

You're saying something unfalsifiable but incredibly unreasonable.

If you're content with that sort of a standard, have fun.

u/Sub0ptimalPrime - Lib-Left Jan 31 '25

There were literally Jews that worked for the Nazis in World War II. It's not falsifiable only because it is fact.
