I mean, it’s mostly valid, and yet…

Talks like nazis. Murders encampments full of innocents like nazis. Goes after antifa (anti-fascists) just like nazis. Increasingly makes you "show me your paperz! ze papers are not in order!!" like nazis. Beating citizens (schoolkids) for expressing opinions on politics that they dont like. checkmark, on that one.

If I recall my world history the Japanese said they attacked because the US was pursuing trade boycotts to limit Japans access to raw materials. And the Germans claimed the jewish congress were running a global boycott against german goods right as the depression was hitting, decimating the Weimar republic economy. Similar to tarriffs now. So check, check on those score too.

The nazis dresssed smarter and spoke german. Those are the big differences. So yes, Democrat-republicans are not exactly the same as nazis, but everything else lines up.
