Nazi, just like fascist has become an almost generic insult to hurl at people who want to enforce rules, you don’t like.
This goes back to the original Nazi times even. The German communists labeled the social democracy as social fascists for years. Of course the social democrats and communists ended up in the same concentration camps later on.
Trumpism is working towards more authoritarian tyranny.
I agree it’s sometimes overused but looking at the current leaders of the Republican Party and comparing their views and actions to the definition of fascism, do you really think it’s not accurate? And if so what are the main differences in your view?
Trump himself has called his political opponents fascists.
There’s a pretty big ideological difference between Italian fascists and NSDAP Nazis. Trumpism works in even other ways.
Arguing about Nazi and fascist comparisons is a waste of time. It’s better to talk about actually bad things Trump and his ilk are doing and talk about doing.
Constant Nazi and Hitler comparisons do little to illuminate this.
Trumpism is very American in ways that Nazism and Fascism were not.
Some examples: Mussolini and Hitler had came from a humble background. They both were veterans of WW1 and relatively young when starting their political career. Trump is an old man billionaire deeply connected to the establishment. Nazis and Fascists instituted broad social programs and improvements for the working class. Trump does the opposite. Fascism and Nazism were progressive and revolutionary. Trumpism is more reactionary. Sure, there are also parallels that can be drawn.
Trump has more in common with Victor Orban, Putin, Juan Péron, or many of the long list of Latin American dictators.
