Yes, zwe must defend ze thousand year reich at all costs! Finally someone has ze courage to say it! /sarcasm
It’s really rich hearing people defend MAGAs and call other people nazis when Trump is literally out there publicly wishing for nazi generals.
The republicans are the nazis, they literally wave swastikas at their events.
While I agree that Republicans are fascists, isn’t that kind of whataboutism? We aren’t talking about Republicans, we are talking about democrat policy that is more likely to be used on BLM or pro-palestine protestors than some Trump supporters.
Ze protestors are destabilizing our glorious empire, ze must be dealt with harshly for ze peace and stability of ze greater reich! /s
They’re just doing the typical Blue MAGA policy of equating all criticism of Democrats as being pro-Republican, as if most people with these critiques aren’t leagues to the left of Democrats.
Hey, whatever mental gymnastics you need to do to feel better about yourself there pal. I’m sure you’re out there making a huge difference in the world.
