  Nazi doesn’t mean national socialist

  Ridiculously pedantic. Come on.

    You are confusing National Socialism with Leftist-Nationalism

    The reason Hitler added Social to their party name was because it was political suicide not to, not because they where socialists.

      I was quoting the person above me. Read the chain again, I’m well aware of what Nazi means.

  IMO it’s more offensive to call MAGAs a Nazi. And I’m certainly looking for maximum effect. I couldn’t care less about the etymology of Nazi.

  I call them Repubs at this point because they don’t want to say things like “Democratic politicians” opting instead for “Democrat politicians” because they’re worried democratic sounds too good.

  I think republican sounds too good. They don’t want a republic, they want a tyrant.

    So, tyrannist? Hmm that’s not catchy. Maybe just autocrat but that doesn’t contain the root of the word tyrannus. Best I got for ya.
