Salon’s DeVega compares today’s Republicans to ‘the ‘good Germans’ of the Nazi era

"Like the 'good Germans' of the Nazi era, Republicans want to believe that they are good and decent people who can hide behind fictions of plausible deniability for the evils committed by their leader,"
Ultimately, when today’s Republicans and their voters and other followers say that they want the party to become “more conservative,” what is really being communicated is a desire for “friendly fascism.” This is in no way a rejection of Trumpism — indeed, most Republican elected officials, as well as “traditional” Republican voters, supported (and continue to support) almost all of Trump’s policies. Rather, this desire to become “more conservative” represents a yearning for a more polite, less crude leader to complete Trump’s resurrection of a new American apartheid where “those people” know their proper place and stay in it.
Today’s Republicans love Donald Trump and his policies. Most of them, however, do not want the shame, stink, blood and filth of his neofascist project on their hands. Like the “good Germans” of the Nazi era, Republicans want to believe that they are good and decent people who can hide behind fictions of plausible deniability for the evils committed by their leader. Calling themselves “conservatives” is an effort to shield themselves from responsibility and complicity. Will this subterfuge succeed? The American people and the world will found out soon.

Stifling Freedom of Speech No
Trying to Control Guns No
Socialism No
Controlled Press No
Expanding Government Reach No
Hmmm seems like the people that are doing these things are much more analogous to Nazis than people opposed to these things.

Nazis viewed Jews as less than human.
The same way Democrats today view literally everyone who disagrees with them.
This is more baseless projection from the left. They're the Nazis.

So Gina Carano loses her job over a Nazi comparison, but nobody else will?

Pretty much. Liberals are moral degenerates.

They don't realize that they are driving more people to the extremes. Maybe that's what they want. but it will not turn out the way they want.

Wait, Gina Carano correctly talks about "how shite starts slowly" (uses a Nazi Germany reference) and gets cancelled.
This bitch does this and is still employed?
