It’s the same dehumanizing rhetoric. Hell I even see RWNJs use the same word- “parasite” that the Nazis often used to describe those they deemed inferior. Frankly what the RWNJs are doing is standing against everything America has and should stand for.

A while back while arguing with a RWNJ on a different topic, I found this gem of a page:

Nazi racial ideology was religious, creationist and opposed to Darwinism

A couple of quotes which will send chills down your spine:

“The liberal epoch brought enormous desolation in the church domain. This was precipitated by its many pseudoscientific beliefs such as evolution. […] The tragic thing about the spiritual history of the last hundred years is that the churches have made the liberal materialistic outlook their own. […] Thus the Darwinian era was able to create enormous confusion.”

— Alfred Rosenberg, NSDAP ideologue

“We want to fill our culture again with the Christian spirit … We want to burn out all the recent immoral developments in literature, in the theater, and in the press - in short, we want to burn out the poison of immorality which has entered into our whole life and culture as a result of liberal excess during the past years.”

— The Speeches of Adolf Hitler, 1922-1939, Vol. 1 (London, Oxford University Press, 1942), pg. 871-872

Although the block article does have a slight anti-Christian bias, it paints a good picture of the convergence of religion and politics in the Third Reich, and how the Nazi’s co-opted Christianity to do their horrible deeds. The co-opted version even had a flag:

The Flag of Deutsche Christen, Nazi-coopted version of Christianity

I have gotten quite some bit of “that is a lib lie” “that’s cultural marxist propaganda” “that’s gay propaganda” and worse responses from wingnuts when posting select quotes from the article in a chat, showing how the rightwing ideology matches that of Nazism in terms of hatred of atheism, creationism and anti-evolutionism.

And I’m sure the rabbit hole goes much deeper if anyone is willing to do the research.
