Palestinians, as well as some left-wing Jews, are being suspended from studies, fired from jobs, or arrested at night — all because of social media posts.

Ok but that doesn't have anything to do with the fact they targeted Catholics. The GOP has gay members yet it is 100% accurate to say the GOP does not believe gay people should have equal rights with straight people, so even though the GOP is targeting gay people they still have gay members.

Catholics being part of the Nazi party doesn't have the significance you think it does.

As n aside why are you calling them anything other than the Nazi party? I get NSDAP was the name they preferred but why grant Nazis respect?

Nonsense.

Straw man.

Lie: 20% Catholics in the party is significantly more than the one or two alibi open homosexuals in the GOP.

Diversion.

All the numbers and historical circumstances I layed out are easily verifiable facts. Your compulsive urge to cling to a false narrative in the presence of irrefutible evidence and attempt to dance around that by picking out fragments of what I said and attempting to ridicule everything by extension is preposterous. And everybody with the reading comprehension of a high schooler should see right through it. I'm out of your bad faith (or ignorant) excuse for a conversation.

You should not list off rhetorical fallacies as a response unless you are certain you understand them. You have been incorrect about both.

The example of the GOP is not a straw man as it is an identical situation to the Nazis in that the targeted group also has members within the group. You don't know what a straw man argument is and you proved it here.

You should probably stop here since you haven't provided any evidence that supports your claims while simultaneously showing a startlingly poor understanding of reasoning.
