Stop being a pseudo-intellectual.

When one side has openly espoused white-nationalism and has used the instruments of the state which they have illegally seized to enact violence on the innocent then it is just to call them NAZIS

The Republican party has more in common with the most reviled monsters of our living history and it is on us to call it as it is.

I’m not being pseudo intellectual I’m stating an opinion and I’d rather have a proper discussion rather than being insulted, thanks.

A caveat in your reasoning is grouping them under one label. Who exactly? How many of them? There are 340 million people in America and grouping everyone into two parties is such a bad way of reasoning, it’s very blind to nuance here.

My reasoning is that the more you treat everyone that has loose similarities or even baseline similarities to one side of the political spectrum the more you push them in that box. It’s true, and once again a real phenomenon called the caveman effect.

Tell me your reasoning in a calm and rational way please, or don’t reply at all.

Is repeated until we're so annoyed to be ignored that we're being called emotional.

It's so dumb

Always fun seeing those types say "calm down" while repeatedly ignoring or more commonly wildly misstating the calm responses.
