    Thank you for being polite and not calling me a bot or whatever else

    You’re very welcome, but when I read this comment, I had a rueful chuckle because I worry that I’d been rather too argumentative to count as in any way polite, so sorry about that, and I’ll try harder to live up to your charitable interpretation rather than destroy it.

    I’m not convinced that it’s better in any significant way to have invented your own horrific policy slogan (that mirrors real nazi actions) than to have used a literal translation of a prewritten nazi one, but I decided before logging on that I was going to stop arguing with you on that point, so I should already have shut up and dropped it. Here’s the parting compromise: you’re right, it’s not a literal nazi slogan, it’s a newer maga slogan that just looks a lot like past nazi actions.

    So far the administration behaves in ways that are like the Nazis, but they do not openly fly swastika flags, etc.

    Many of their followers now do. I don’t really understand why explicitly and openly nazi is such an important distinction for you.
