Can it lead to something eventually like the Holocaust? I doubt it. The Holocaust was a government sponsored hatred and killing. Of course that's not going to happen here in the United States - or at least I hope not.

Sir, with respect I have to say these sorts of comments are what worry me most in our current climate. I fear the thought that "it can't happen here" is exactly what can allow such horrors to repeat themselves; if we believe it can't happen here, we will not mobilize to prevent it until it is too late.

Germany in the '30s and its people were not some great aberration in all of space and time - this country and its people are not, either. Authoritarianism, fascism, and government-sponsored genocide can happen here, they can happen anywhere, and that is why we must always remain vigilant."

You should read about the paradox of tolerance, because it’s clear you don’t understand it. The Republican Party is being ultra intolerant to the point they are trying to exterminate certain groups of people (i.e denying gender affirming care), and the correct response to that is not to engage that thinking in rational debate. The correct response is to tell those fascist scumbags to go frick themselves, and ostracize any piece of shit who agreed with them, until they crumble under lack of resources and public support like the rat fascists they are."

I despise these idiots that use the "paradox of tolerance" as an excuse to be intolerant...I even witnessed an irl "friend" use that stick figure xbcblah whatever comic about it as a response on fb...lost all respect for them...
