In the early 90s, my grandfather assured me that he fought and killed nazis, so that my generation would never have to deal with them.

He didn't say he cancelled the nazis. The word he used was "Exterminated".

Maybe we should all do that again. Exterminate the nazis. Because quite frankly, this government is lousey with them.

Nazis weren't exterminated, the US government hired quite a few (and that's not counting the ones who went on vacation to Brazil in 1945)

Maybe we should do it right this time.

The biggest sin of the American government was failing to hang every single confederate sympathizer. The problems only cascade from there.

This is where I am at where MAGA is concerned. It would be a crimson lining to a 2nd American Civil War, where I and others can free our society of Nazi kindred for good. IMO, the 1% of America are very likely to sympathize with the Confederates, because they believe that slavery of the poors is the natural state of things.

The problem is how do you find them all? You never will since some of them are smart enough not to advertise how vile they are. And as long as a few of them still exist they'll multiply and spread their shitty philosophy.

That metric can said of just about anything regarding beliefs. The important thing is reducing the number of MAGA to levels where they beliefs can't really propagate anymore. The keys to that lies in eliminating the 1% as a class, by reducing wealth gaps and maintaining them at lower levels as an institution. This would require huge reforms, along the lines of the Magna Carta and the American Constitution, but for economics.

The 1% wield immense political power, because they hoard dynastic wealth and influence and can use it as a club against society. That is why they are the lynchpin of conservative projects, and so they must be removed as a factor, if a better society is to be fostered.

Not to mention that the Germans themselves took a few years out, and then put a lot of the Nazi political machine back in charge.

Does anyone remember when Kurt Waldheim, UN Secretary General for 9 years and President of Austria for 6, turned out to be a former nazi? Whoops ie!

Well, you can't "exterminate" a movement, idea, or people. You can only make it boring or not worthy of attention

We should just never stop shaming for it. Someone wearing a swastika on the bus should be booed until their stop. It could bring the rest of us together, even.

That said, I think it might all be a distraction from society’s real enemies: the oligarchs.
