Or any other pejorative, be the object of your attack left leaning or right swinging. Don’t have civil discourse. Don’t forget to throw or harass them out of your place of business.

As incredibly responsive as always, the Trump White House has already issued another ‘Thoughts and Prayers’ statement in response to the latest mass killing.
All Trump Disciples are expect to follow suit as time permits.

A few years ago, if I disagreed with you, you called me a racist.
2 years ago, if I disagreed with you, you called me a Nazi.
Last year you decided I am a Russian.
Now I’m a Nazi again.
Because I do not agree with your political ideology. Having absolutely nothing to do with who or what I am, what my actions are, beyond the fact that we disagree.
Because you don’t like what I say, and because you are incapable of discussing our differences, you call me a Nazi.
Lie down with dogs, you get fleas. It’s the treason, dishonesty, incompetence, and corruption that are the biggest threats here. The Nazi stuff, along with the racist stuff is DESIGNED to fire up trump’s base. When they are attacked with these labels, especially when the labels are accurate, they dig their heels in opposition.
Nobody thinks they are doing evil. Nobody. Even when it’s blatantly obvious, everyone has their reasons. Even racists and Nazis. The ignorance of the base is astounding. But it is willfull ignorance, with malice embedded so deeply that the willfully ignorant decide they cannot see.
But integrity and honor are worth far more than policy. And the regressives have decided to trade their honor for the momentary thrill of upsetting someone they disagree with and a few shekels. We need a brave and patriotic republican (who is NOT resigning) who has a remaining shred of honor to stand up and say very publicly “At long last, sir, have you no shame?”
You are claiming that the left is deliberately calling its opponents Nazis in order to rile them up. That those hurling the insult don’t actually believe it, they are just using it as a tool, a tactic. That analysis is, at best, questionable. On its face, absurd.
Anyone who has spent even the slightest amount of time trying to discuss or debate with the insult hurlers understands that their is no duplicity. Many, most of these people truly believe that Trump supporters and conservatives, and anyone who opposes the left agenda, is evil, ignorant, monstrous, sociopathic, etc, etc, etc.
What you are doing here is setting up a smug self-justification for condemning your opponents as evil without engaging them in discussion or debate. With this neat little mental circle jerk, you absolve yourself of ever having to discuss ideas you disagree with. You remove yourself from the risk of having the flaws of your positions exposed to the light of day.

How about “If you don’t want to be called a Nazi Racist, don’t act like one”?

Gorrell, are you claiming that Nazis don’t deserve to be called Nazis?
Or that racists don’t deserve to be called racist?

I thought all Nazis are racists and if the label is correct what makes calling them one or the other wrong?

When you have a Nazi Racist advisor like Stephen Miller in the White House, you need to call a spade a spade.
