Mike Godwin, author of Godwin's law: Go ahead and compare Trump to Hitler. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
My very minor status as an authority on Hitler comparisons stems from having coined “Godwin’s Law” more than three decades ago.
I mean once you go full "poisoning the blood of the fatherland" we lose the argument if we DON'T compare you to Hitler.
For years the chuds had used Godwin to shut down debate when they were being outright Nazis. Good to know they lost this tool.
Seriously, fuck that guy. "Godwin's law" is maybe the best example of the kind of thinking that got us here. He can't just disavow it now (which has done a bunch since the rise of Trump: that guy knows nothing better than to milk something for all it's worth and much more).
“[H]as the sheer absurdity of so many hyperbolic Nazi comparisons in [past] popular culture made us less vigilant about the possible reemergence of actual fascism in the world? …. [C]omparisons to Hitler or to Nazis need to take place WHEN PEOPLE ARE BEGINNING TO ACT LIKE HITLER OR NAZIS.”
The MAGA movement has its own version of the SS Medical Corps constantly threatening to hang pro-vaccine advocates under “Nuremberg 2.0.” They tell supporters COVID was unleashed as part of the “Great replacement theory” to kill off whites, and “experimental” vaccines kill more people than COVID.

I love how people completely misinterpreted Godwin's Law to mean any comparison to Nazis is hyperbole and that you automatically lose the argument.
Thanks for pointing this out.
We are on the path to electing a dictator and enough ppl are ok with it. OK with anti immigration. Anti trans. Anti women's rights. They justify bad behavior. Because they don't want to admit they were wrong about him. He said illegal immigrants pollute or poison our blood. Think about that
