I hear we're supposed to calm the rhetoric, not call Republicans/MAGA "Nazis" or "Facists"

Sorry man, I just can't consider Trump the normal variation of a Republican or most of his administration.

The normal variation doesn't support and ignore an insurrection and keep lying about it. Or keep trying to make fake emergencies to send military into cities. Or threaten to use force on a peaceful country (Greenland) Or call dictators friends and accuse a country of being responsible for an invasion.

THAT'S NOT A NORMAL VARIATION. Not in my book. I can't even bother to go over all the other things.

I also refuse to intentionally, for no good reason, use it to break the law, provoke violence or hurt someone who doesn't deserve a subtle multisyllabic dressing-down.
