It is hard to say that calling some republicans Nazis or KKK members is an insult when they march under swastikas and are members actual members of the KKK.
Donald Trumps father was arrested at a Klan rally and Trump supporters threw hitler salutes said Heil Trump then sieg Hiel.
So its more like calling a spoon a spoon.
Some republicans are the worst people in the world, some of them, I assume, are good people.
The problem is that the "Nazi" threat is being over hyped, and non-Neo Nazis are being thrown in with them just because they don't want statues torn down or because they fly the Rebel flag. Yes, it sucks that a lady was run over and killed, and the increase in hate crimes after Trump's hateful rhetoric is a damn shame, but now people are so delusional about the threat that the neo-Nazis pose that they are going out in the streets and trying to physically stop them from practicing their free speech by attacking them with sticks, bike locks, piss, and punching them in the head. The logic that people use to demonize everyone who doesn't want a statue taken down, is the same logic that the alt right uses to demonize Muslim refugees. Instead of "they fly a racist flag" or "they support racist statues", it's "these Muslims come from a barbaric culture and can not be trusted", or "they follow a religion started by a child raping war lord, so they must be pieces of shit too. Let them die in the war zones! I don't want them here."
