So are you saying over half of America actively suppor Nazis?

I mean, have you heard of 1930s Germany? Do you think it’s somehow impossible for a large portion of a nation (not half as you suggested) to be misled and manipulated into something horrible? Because it has literally happened before. All you really need is for a populist with no moral compass to take advantage of desperate people by playing to their hate and fear. Enter Donald Trump.

Cool. So again, are you saying over half of America supports Nazis and Fascists? So are you saying that America is a majority Nazi country?

Yes or no?

  Again, it’s not over half. I’m not sure how you’re getting that figure. I think you assume that since slightly over half of VOTING Americans voted for Trump, that it somehow means over half of ALL AMERICANS voted for him, which isn’t true.
  
  And yes, over half of VOTING AMERICANS voted to support literal Nazis and fascists. This has happened before in history. I’m not sure why you don’t understand that other than lacking a suitable education.

    Of course I mean voting americans in this context. Come on, man… Do you think that I think people under 18 voted?!
    
    So you all lost to Nazi’s and fascists. So what does that say about the Democrat party if you couldn’t even win against them?

    No. You said “half of Americans”. Words matter. Not to people who don’t know how to use them, such as yourself, but to anyone with even a halfway decent education.

    Yeah. It’s really alarming that uneducated individuals such as yourself are elevating fascism in America under the guise of “patriotism”. My concern isn’t with the Democrat party. My concern is the overwhelming number of uneducated individuals such as yourself that are allowing fascism to take hold.
    
    A supporter of fascism such as yourself pointing at the Democrat party and asking what’s wrong with them doesn’t change that you support fascism in America.
