    Seems like you are getting downvoted, but I agree with you that nowadays people use words like nazi and fascist very loosely. I’m very sure that a large part of the people can’t tell what nazi or fascist really is without looking it on Wikipedia.

      Seeing as you apparently need someone to look the word up for you.

      Fascism : a populist political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual, that is associated with a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, and that is characterized by severe economic and social regimentation and by forcible suppression of opposition

      Let’s see.

      1. Christian nationalism is a huge part of Trumps support group
      2. Cops target brown people to attempt to deport them and Trump pardons them for ignoring court orders to stop (Joe Apaio)
      3. Trump continues to deport people based on skin and looks without due process. Ignoring courts telling him to stop.
      4. Trumps America first slogan is eerily similar to Hitlers slogan.
      5. Trump is starting to isolate the US from the rest of the world (but curiously not Russia)

      But I do agree, they’re not Nazis, they’re MAGA. Their own brand of fascism.
