What do you think of liberals who scold others for trash talking #Hitler?

The particular dressing down that provoked this query was a question asking whether the #Hitler cult was any different than the Manson cult. My personal opinion is that it is a good question and sparing the feelings of #Hitler cult followers is not any more constructive than Neville Chamberlain.

We get enough gaslighting from the #Hitler cult followers. Do we need to do it to each other?

You are entitled to your opinion. Are you entitled to scold people who don't share it?

My mistake, but my premise and my.question stand. Sorry about making it personal. I didn't intend to do that.

Suppose someone does have a problem. Is it okay to scold others who don't have that problem? That really was my question and I don't have a problem disagreeing. I do have a problem with the scolding.

They may or may not be correct. I don't agree with them. I refer them to Neville Chamberlain but that's my opinion.

Somehow we debase ourselves, according to these people.

These are not normal times.

I've been a LIBERAL since the 60's and have listened to right wingers vilify the word since then. I use that label PROUDLY.
