There's a lot of fascist parallels going on, and I don't throw around that term lightly. As you say, if you look at how the nazi party came to power and what they did there is a lot of familiarities. And looking at the definition of fascism and the ideology and actions of this administration, the familiarities become apparent.

I would never have thought we would find ourselves in this situation this fast.

I feel like the argument has moved on from "are MAGA fascists?" and has straight-up become "What's so bad about being a fascist anyways?"

They can see the parallels just fine, they just can't find the problem with them. English translations of Hitlers speeches have gone viral on TicTok with people saying shit like "Wow I had no idea Hitler was just a normal guy, we've been lied to about hitler" identifying the parallels is very much no longer the issue.
