I will never tire of people who do not grasp linguistics trying to be pedantic about words.
In a living language, words mean whatever people currently use them to mean. This is how “literally” literally doesn’t mean “literally” anymore. Most people use Nazi to refer to both 1930s German National Socialists and modern day white supremacists. Therefore, that’s what it means. English is not a dead language like Latin, so stop trying to treat it like one with regards to this one word. It just makes you look like a Nazi.
And pro-Trump Republicans are neither of those things. There may be some white supremacists in their club but by no means is it a requirement. All I see from them is delusions and shitposting.
The entire republican party is currently lockstep saying all trans folk are trying to corrupt, if not molest, children. They’re promising national legislation to oppress and punish them if they win. Before them, it was Mexicans and Muslims. They always have a group of “others” to scapegoat, and given enough time and power they always eventually act on it.
“Never again” means we’re supposed to recognize and stop this behavior before it can harm anybody, not wait until it’s too late as we disingenuously quibble over definitions.
