    No, I don’t hate the other guy. I have 30 years worth of experience dealing with well meaning conservatives. I hate Nazis. I can tell the difference. If you can’t because the issue is too close to home, again, that is on you.

      Key word “well meaning conservatives” my argument is that we should not label said conservatives as Nazis or their group as Nazis because that’s not what their about. They may have Nazis in their party, and Nazis may be encouraging certain policies. However it is bad faith to call them Nazis. As with the 30 years of experience, that’s fair. I have a relatively short knowledge on modern politics. With how almost all media is biased one way or the other, my young age, and my lack of time due to college: many of my opinions I still consider a work in progress and I’m still researching them out. Most debates I have are about what I see in front of me at the moment. What I see in front of me is well meaning republicans who ignore me when I disagree with them, because I’m a woke liberal who is going to call them a Nazi (even when we agree). I just want people to stop labeling because it just leads to more hatred when we should be able to talk it out like adults.
