Godwin's Law is hereby repealed. [View all]

Those who invoke Nazism in describing the current American regime are not losing, they're being accurate.

It's an appropriate term to use in describing the militarized terrorization of American citizens in our cities; it captures the kidnapping and deportation without due process of people who look or speak differently. It explains the use of government power to persecute or prosecute enemies of "der Feuhrer"; it accurately describes the usurpation of power of the legislature and judiciary to the supreme leader, and provides justification of the supine and cowardly surrender of the members of those branches to said leader. When that leader and his party/cult/crime ring check all fourteen of Prof. Britt's boxes*, it can only be called what it is--fascism.
