Your papers please

I wonder why it's ok for you to invoke Nazi images, but you mock those that raise them wrt Trump?

Well obviously because Reductio ad Hitlerum is only a fallacy when liberals use it. DUH.

I don't recall doing so except maybe to object to it being the knee jerk response.

Since Hitler killed 12 million people, it's always a knee-jerk response. That's why it's officially a fallacy.

hmm - I refer both to you, and to the lack of you being excoriated by the peanut gallery for doing so

I will say that there is far less evidence the De Blasio is inclined towards authoritarianism than our 'glorious leader'. So there is that. Restricting intake from contaminated areas has multiple precedents in our history, it is in fact a necessary part of dealing with a pandemic.

Ah, yet another ---- "nobody's pitching an unbalanced walleyed fit like I am, so they're guilty".

And you're such a hypocrite - you blast others for "demeaning" people, yet, here you are doing it yourself.

We should "excoriate" people, and if we don't, we're..... sheeeeeesh, are you nuts.

It's also exactly what Trump did in restricting flights from China.

At the same time, the holocaust motto is 'never forget'. So there is a bit of a conflict between 'never forgetting' and 'never raising red flags' when actions parallel those of Hitler's rise to power in our own or other governments. I think the far more critical point is to not allow that which can lead to a Hitler to be ignored or suppressed. It is not that those actions WILL produce another Nazi Germany, it is that we can not allow even the slightest drift in that direction. We can't allow the 'foot in the door' as it were. And to keep that from happening, we must make the correlation, which means bringing it up, and warning against it.

Checkpoints are racist. Next he'll be building a wall.

The democrats keep calling the republicans "Nazis" but as soon as they have have an excuse, they go completely overboard with authoritarianism. Shutting down churches, locking people in houses, shutting down businesses, while allowing riots and arson in the streets.

Wake up America! The real Nazis are the Democrats!

For which he is not criticized for not doing so sooner.
