I find this position incredibly ignorant. I have no idea what kind of filter one needs to apply to reality to not see the growing signs of fascism all around.
The comparison to Nazism displays, in my estimation, an ignorance of the true evil of the holocaust. The mere attempt to compare that evil with the awful situation of the last few weeks diminishes the significance of the holocaust to the level of — politics.

I wrote “growing signs”, you seem to have read “already there”. If you think everything’s fine with the Trump administration, and there’s nothing to worry about, especially not with regards to nationalism and racism, we’ll just have to disagree.
