          I hate purity tests as much as the next guy, but since that one black guy became president, we knew where things were headed. By the time we had tiki torches carrying “Jews will not replace us” screaming, “nice people on both sides,” we have been sprinting towards this.

            Okay cool, your opinion is that when we had proof there were definitely Nazis in the right wing, you became comfortable referring to the right wing as Nazis. I wasn’t. Unless this were a purity test, I’ve absolutely no idea what your point would be.

              I guess my point is your comment, “for years…” implies that it is a new thing. Like 2/3 years, when it has been at least over a decade of Nazis hanging out in the proverbial bar.

                To me, referring to the right wing as nazis in a fair way is about that old, yes. I never said that all the nazis weren’t right wing. 100% of them are. It’s a pretty recent thing that right wingers all fairly lumped into that group.
