What has today's youngest generation who are old enough to

considered a "Nazi". Wish I had  a dollar for every-time
that accusation was hurled (and is still being  hurled) at
Trump. What I've learned as a child is that a Nazi is
someone who  calls people bad names, doesn't respect women
and someone who wants to throw  all those illegal people
back to where they came from. Doesn't sound nice but surely
not the worst.

Eventually it will have lost all its meaning, and that is when
we'll have nazi parties again openly. That is the danger with
the left defining nazi as "someone who does not agree with the
left". They are basically helping to setup the next nazi party.

I would say insults like "Nazi" have lost their true meaning
already, along with other insults. They are thrown around too
often. Many of Donald Trump's opponents openly called him a
Nazi/fascist in the run-up to the elections... his recent New
York rally at MSG was even compared to a Nuremburg rally by some
media commentators (on top of the media outrage over a joke from
a comedian) and... on top of that, Donald Trump is a "convicted
felon" - as all of his oppononets liked to point out.

Still, despite all the insults and demonisation, the majority of
voters in the USA elected Donald Trump as President of the
USA... again. Over 73 million people in fact. The people in the
United States wanted democracy... they got democracy!

If only senile Joe had stood down earlier...or fallen down a bit
more earlier, as the case may be.
