It includes one of Thom's quotes from the past "Never forget that the first group Hitler went after were trans people. When fascists want a minority group to beat up on for political gain, this is the smallest minority out there, smaller than any racial or religious group, and thus the most defenseless. These Republicans are bullies and thugs."

Thanks so much for this link; I have felt that the Republican Party took the Fascist turn back when Bush Jr. was in office. With the Trump victory in 2016 it was clear that he idolized autocracy and Hitler.

I took tons of ridicule for using violating “Godwin’s Law” that suggested comparatives of Hitler was hyperbolic and a sure means to lose an argument.

I suppose when the subject of that law calls people vermin, demands for the deportation of 11 million people and on and on that this is somehow an unfair comparison.

I could argue that the Republicans dating back to the John Birch Society (which is now the predominant philosophy of today’s Republicans) was the nexus of American and Nazi fascist ideology.
