A lot of US Evangelical Christians and Conservatives say "Nazi" when they really mean "Stalinist".
They say this because they've been taught for decades now that "Nazis were Socialists, it's right there in the name" and also that "Nazi Germany is the inevitable end-state of all forms of Socialism, including Social Democracy (Liberalism). The Nazis were democratically elected, therefore we must be vigilant against and prevent elections which might elect Nazis (ie, democratic socialists)".
@natecull let's be real for a second, nazism rose in post WW1 Germany because of the perceived threat of communism from the east (that turned out to be what did them in at the end of WW2). This is very similar to what is happening in the USA, the far left socialists and legitimate communists are pushing normal people into a corner where they feel all they can do to fight back is to vote trump. The lact of introspection from the progressives is criminally dangerous. No one will side with them when the day comes, they are the first to go.
@ejworthing @natecull I am mindful of pro censorship social progressives who call me a nazi for not agreeing with their "progress". I just want to not have people tell me how to live. "Socialism" may or may not intersect with that demographic.
