Godwin himself suspended the law some years ago.

Yes, Nazis were also immensely popular with the electorate, and one can argue they even were democratically elected. Pushing people they didn't like to livestock cars or planes to CECOT is always popular in some circles. That doesn't make them less wrong, and when their time came, they were most properly hanged or put against the wall. As it should be.

I don't care about "one side" or "other side". I care about basic human morality. If somebody doesn't have one, they check themselves out of humans. All governments deported illegal immigrants. Some governments deported innocents. But no governments in the history of the country posted a crying woman in handcuffs on their official government Twitter account, gloating with their cruelty, until very recently. And no one before hired any officials who were giving actual Nazi salutes.

And yes, Nazis never understand why they are Nazis, or why is it wrong to be a Nazi, or why some people didn't like them. They will meet their end nonetheless.

I am not a leftist. I consider myself to be center-right. But you people have no idea about the size of the left reaction you'll get really soon. Anything even remotely right-aligned will be cursed forever and erased from memory for decades. And it's people like you who brought this. MAGA will deserve every last stone thrown at them, of course, but sadly many innocent people will suffer too.

Nothing will be forgotten. Of course, everyone who facilitated cruelty in any way is guilty.
