Interesting insight!

According to https://www.ushmm.org/wlc/en/article.php?ModuleId=10007655# …, the Nazis took control of the press by seizing destroying opposition facilities, forced sales of press outlets, taking control of the journalism "guild" and censoring content. So let's watch for that.

I guess we'd also want to be concerned about people in or close to power referring to news reports as being part of a "vast conspiracy" of whatever "wing" they aren't a member. Besides, sometimes even those are true!

It seems pretty unlikely that: 1. We are in a literal repeat of the Nazi era 2. The next "thought control" (your term) problem will look the same. It also seems acceptable to be worried about the President seeming to egg on folks like the Stormer.

I don't mean to Godwin this conversation but it *is* about Nazis ;) As a Jewish American who had family victimized by the Nazis, it seems ok for me to be worried about the fact that the President wink wink nods nods at people activated by this website.pic.twitter.com/2EbXVqbjws

But a POTUS sending money and arming to Iran - an actual fascist, antisemitic state whose policy is both Holocaust denial and actively Jew-murdering - doesn't bother you?

It bothers me (a lot) and I'd be happy to discuss why it's more nuanced than your statement implies as a separate conversation. Where's the nuance in POTUS defending Stormer-activated marchers chanting Nazi slogans?

You're hung up on whether Trump plays the "disavow" game to your satisfaction? He'll never play it. I'll go with the militantly pro-Israel UN ambassador, a staff (and family) consisting of innumerable observant Jews and other conduct - of his.
