MAGA’s sure seem to love to “joke” about very serious issues that no one but them thinks is funny.

Yeah I bet he would have the same reaction if Mehdi had made a crack about him fucking his sister.

And these jackasses always use this same tactic - every time someone calls out the Nazi BS in Trump’s campaign, it’s “they’re calling all Republican voters Nazis!” Which of course no one is doing.

Yep. And there's a very clear double standard that's existed since 2016 as well. If they use an insult or slur or threat - racial, gender, homophobic, religious, ethnic, etc. - then it was just "a joke" and the person they're attacking or threatening just needs to get over it and forget about it. But if anyone turns the tables and attacks them - even when the accusation is true - then suddenly it's unfair and hurtful and just needs to stop. They can insult and threaten you all they want, but if you dare to respond, they're just a victim of liberal wokeism and censorship and blah blah blah.

I am. If you support nazi tactics and fascism, or even look the other way but still vote for it, you are what you support. If you don't want to be called a fascist, a racist, or a nazi, then denounce it and don't vote for it.

They believe, with some justification, that if people will accept it as a joke, it can be turned into a real life position.

I think you've got the cause and effect reversed...it's already a real life position, they're just trying to mitigate the backlash by calling it humor.

OK, well that's not what Harris and other Dem leaders or prominent media figures are saying and it's not what they should be saying IMO. I don't disagree with your post from a moral perspective, but you don't win an election by calling 75 million Americans Nazis. You call out the Nazis who are leading and running the campaign and deceiving ordinary Americans into supporting fascism. You don't have to call every single Trump voter a fascist to make your point. I don't have a whole lot of sympathy for people who don't recognize fascism when it's being screamed into their face with a megaphone, but the reality is that many, many Americans are fairly dumb and/or fairly checked out of politics and either don't or can't realize how insane the Trump campaign is. Telling them they're all racists and fascists is not the way to make them realize they're supporting racists and fascists.
