Fuck. Where the hell have I been? I've never heard about any of this.

What a shame. I find it quite grotesque that the Republicans try to compare what's been happening in this country and around the world to anything related to the Holocaust, or that time period. Anyone with a half brain can see that it's not Dems trying to lock people up or murder people for who they are, but Republicans on the other hand... there's plenty of evidence of them saying stuff like that. I just saw something the other day about a right wing figure saying that stuff.

I'd link it but can't remember where I saw it or who the figure was. I've been blocking it out lately as it's just too much and I need a break from politics.

Sure, you got me on the first two, but the last two are a stretch in terms of him being a nut job for it. I don’t think I know one person who doesn’t occasionally complain about taxes for example.

And tbh, yeah I still think that’s less crazy then things said by people who are actually in office, and have the ability to ruin lives. He doesn’t.

Political comment threads in this sub are extremely cringe and lack any objective thought.

I do agree and definitely shame myself whenever I fall into the trap. Like this for example.

I tried to keep my comment vague and neutral as possible and am still expecting backlash

I mean, I’m a liberal, but I’ve seen people on both the left and the right refer to the other side as ‘nazis’. I’ve seen it as far back as Dubya, and it was probably going on earlier than that. It seems more like your first two bullet points are just him making jokes in very poor taste.

As for the last two, who hasn’t complained about taxes or laughed at Trump? I think Tim Allen may be a POS for a lot of reasons, but yeah I’d still call him a moderate republican.

Home Improvement slaps, too.
