That's spreading globally, as you've got guys like the Christchurch shooter noting Donald Trump as part of his white identity. Joviality about race and religion based attacks doesn't do a lot to help the problem. Neither does trying to equate political opponents with Nazis or Communists or socialists or any other giant scary ideology, especially not when we have literal Nazis in the mix.
Nothing here helps the problem, and nothing here hurts. Do we want to go back and look at how many times allusions have been made to fascism and Nazis? And not always just small comments. Novella sized comparisons. If you are speaking as moderator, then what you says goes, but I find the outrage several years late.
