Fair enough. But calling the current president a Nazi is not moderate. Israel would not treat him the way they do if he was. A post-WW2 Nazi or similar party is impossible and unsustainable especially in the US and most EU countries. Erdogan is the closest leader in the world at this point.

He's not a Nazi, but he is a racist. The Birther movement was purely racist, as was his witch hunt against the Central Park Five.
And, guess who loves him? White supremacists in all forms. Do you think he did anything to garner their approval?

I personally dont't think Trump is a Nazi.
But it seems he doesnt mind Nazi support and is not willing to piss them off if it costs him their vote.

He’s not a Nazi because he’s not a member of the National Socialist party, but is he a fascist? Umberto Eco’s definition from the mid 90s is worth reading, as most if not all of the characteristics can quite easily be applied to the Trump presidency: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Definitions_of_fascism#Umberto...

>Disagreement Is Treason
Isn't that what the left is doing by trying to silence the alt-right right now? Now that I agree with the alt-right, honestly I despise them, but leftists who call the alt-right fascists and want to censor their views for being "Unamerican" really need to look in the mirror.
I'm not saying our current one is, just that logically, if the president is, then it would be moderate to describe him as he is.
Also, a comparison to them in the 1930s, say pre-Kristalnacht, is different and may have more relevance than a comparison to them in the mid-40s.
