Redefinition fallacies (patriotism<->nazi, law enforcement<->nazi, authority<->nazi, political rally<->nazi, madison square garden<->nazi, famous person<->nazi)The question of whether the "Make America Great Again" (MAGA) movement is more aligned with the Nazi Party is a complex and sensitive topic that requires careful consideration. Based on the information available, there are some historical and rhetorical parallels that have been drawn by commentators, scholars, and media, but these comparisons are not definitive and are often debated. Here's a balanced overview:
The MAGA movement, associated with former President Donald Trump and his political base, emphasizes nationalism, border security, economic protectionism, and a return to traditional values, often encapsulated in the slogan "Make America Great Again." Some critics and analysts have pointed to similarities between certain aspects of MAGA rhetoric and tactics used by the Nazi Party, such as:
- Nationalism and Populism: Both movements have used strong nationalist rhetoric. The Nazis sought to restore Germany's greatness after World War I, while MAGA focuses on restoring America's past glory. For example, Adolf Hitler and Nazi propaganda often spoke of making Germany great again, though not always with that exact phrasing. Similarly, Trump’s slogan has been interpreted by some as appealing to a vision of a predominantly white, Christian America.
- Demonization of Opponents: Some sources note that both Hitler and Trump have been accused of using divisive language to demonize political opponents, immigrants, and other groups. Hitler referred to Jews, communists, and others as threats to the German nation, while Trump has called immigrants "criminals" and "poisoning the blood of our country," language that some, including historians, have compared to Nazi propaganda.
- Authoritarian Tendencies: Critics have pointed to Trump’s praise of authoritarian leaders and his calls to use military force against domestic opponents or suspend parts of the Constitution as echoing the authoritarian methods of the Nazis. For instance, Hitler consolidated power by suppressing opposition, and some of Trump’s statements, like his refusal to commit to peaceful transfers of power, have raised concerns among observers.
- Rallies and Spectacle: Both movements have relied on large, theatrical rallies to energize supporters. Nazi rallies, like those in Nuremberg, and Trump’s MAGA rallies share a focus on spectacle, crowd enthusiasm, and the leader’s charisma, which some analysts say mirrors fascist strategies.
- Historical Echoes: The "America First" slogan, embraced by Trump, has historical ties to isolationist and Nazi-sympathizing groups in the U.S. during the 1930s, such as the America First Committee, which included figures like Charles Lindbergh.
- Some argue that Trump’s use of this phrase and venue choices, like Madison Square Garden (site of a 1939 Nazi rally), evoke this history, whether intentionally or not.
@Grok
So? The ethnic groups they favor differ from those the Nazis favored. At the same time, the Left punishes and reviles other groups they dislike, like what they call cisgender White males, as one example.
The Nazis were racist haters, the Left are racist haters. The only thing that changes is who they direct their racism and hate against.
I've never run for office, Fredo, and certainly wouldn't run on a sex agenda.
Trans rights isn't a "real issue", IMO. Civil rights? Yes. Rights for all Americans to live how they please as long as they don't hurt anybody? Yes.
What have I lost, Fredo? Not a discussion with JPP MAGA morons.
Still smarter than you, son.![]()
Good one! All great humor has a lot of truth in it.
Asshat Zombie before he chose to go off an even higher board into the shallowest end of the pool. He seems to change his name every month. It could be an affectation, evidence of his mental stability or both.Who t he fuck is "Scut Farkus"? They came pre-ignored so it must be a name change from some prior loser.

Don't care as long as we aren't nazis. That's a you problem.
You nazis are the freaks.Can't help but keep lying, of course; we understand, it's about promoting deviancy and psychotic obsessions with you freak shows.
You nazis are the freaks.
I'm The BMOC, you can carry my books, old woman.Or maybe he thinks a few ppl will be fooled enough by the "new guy" that they actually reply to him. lol
NiftyNiblick is Hitler's replacement on the loony-left.Hitler's NAZI Party is in practical terms long extinct. MAGA isn't aligned with it except emotionally. MAGA is its replacement on the lunatic right.
You are wrong as usual.You are wrong as usual.
When are you going to start getting things right?How can you be so wrong, so often?
Nazis were socialists, i.e far left wing. Learn to discern the political left from the political right. Hitler's plan was called "National Socialism," which was renamed by the Democrats (Bernie Sanders) in 2015 as "Democratic Socialism" whereby he proposed collective ownership by the State and strong government regulation of personal wealth.Naziism is a right-wing philosophy.
