Fine you just alluded to it. Let's take this hypothetical conversation

You: I'm a vegetarian

Me: You know Hitler was a vegetarian and you look like you are basically wearing a swastika.

You: Why are you calling me Hitler?

Me: I'm not, I'm just randomly bringing up Hitler even though he has nothing to do with the topic. I'm also just randomly mentioning this similar attribute you and Hitler share for no reason other than I wanted to mention it.

Nobody in their right mind would think I wasn't calling you Hitler. You implied I was a racist, a Trump supporter and a homophobe regardless if you explicitly said it just because I said stop dividing people.

> just because I said

That's the point though. The whole point is that the exact phrase you used, is used by right wing shit birds to shutdown any pushback or negative commentary on their views.

This whole thread is grounded in the discussion of a billionaire man baby trying to speed run the right wing shit-bird trail, and you use the literal phrase used by other right wing shit birds to defend such behaviour.

This is not at all like comparing any vegetarian to Hitler.

This like questioning their motives when someone is demanding you welcome them them "Heil, mein Führer" while doing a goose-step.

The phrase is literally used by everybody not just right wingers. I don't think you were paying attention for the entirety of Trump's presidency since the left consistently used it. It is a completely innocuous phrase.

If I said "make America great again" or something like that then you might have a point.
