    Phew! We can all relax! What you omit to mention is that it’s mainly the left and progressives who have cheapened the definition of this word. For almost a century now, as indicated by the famous Orwell quote from the 1930s1940s.

    And now that that’s done, they’ve set about cheapening the word “Nazi” so that soon it will be almost meaningless too.

    PS: the Orwell quote: “The word Fascism has now no meaning except in so far as it signifies ‘something not desirable’”. Written in 1946.

      Bigots consolidating power by using national pride to make minorities, immigrants, and the educated into enemies to be rallied against, allying with corporate interests who realize the consolidated powers can be used to maximally exploit the working class. A machine that needs to be constantly fed by fear of “the other” until it inevitably eats itself. Very much tied to a false notion of simple answers to complex problems, unhealthy national pride, an obsession with displays of strength, and an unwavering victim complex.

      You know, us Americans.
