Anti-Semite to a one. Anyone who chooses to diminish the horrors of the actual holocaust cause society is asking you to be responsible grown ups - anti-Semite. The only thing you should compare with the holocaust is the actual fucking holocaust. Anything else diminishes the holocaust and just another 'Jewish suffering is over the top' trope of the far right racist. Horrid people.

2. Why does the History Channel have so many Hitler shows?

It’s just incomprehensible.

3. MTG started that stupid trend months ago

And even she’s let up on it since it is so patently ridiculous

6. Almost everything a fascist says

translates to “I’m the REAL victim here!”

7. It gets old

9. persecution complex

Modern American right wing Christianity requires an antagonist, a persecutor to maintain validity...insanely ironic that their blind devotion to Trump is the closest thing we have to a cult of the Antichrist

13. I think it's a way of diluting the impact of people equating them with Nazis.

If we're going to call them Nazis, they're going to call us Nazis. Either that or they'd prefer to make the word meaningless.

14. The pandemic has grown to another holocaust. Let's not fool ourselves

that there can only be one holocaust caused by a RW extremist movement of "normal" people giving unquestioning loyalty to a vicious leader they created.

We are living through a holocaust right now. The same kind of people are behind it, and the worst of them have become more implacably determined to continue as their dreadful death count has grown.

Btw, how many preventable deaths quaify as a holocaust? 50,000 too few? 660,000 - 1,000,000+ in the U.S. alone not enough?

15. Cultural appropriation

As stupid, ignorant, WRONG and hateful as their rhetoric is, they are far from the only ones who pull this shit!

[Doodley]

16. They have to play the victim card because all they have is anger, not facts.

[Mr.Bill]

17. Ever notice how conservatives in general seem to have a preoccupation

with things being "crammed down their throats"? What's up with that?

18. They can't understand how Jews don't vote for them

and try to use the Holocaust to show how caring they are about Jewish causes. Many actually believe that Israel is their homeland, so they support Israel, still hoping for those votes.
