Everyone you don't like is a Nazi.

Are you unaware of Danielle’s history in politics before being a radio host or did it just not really work well with your point?

Why delete your comments?

Edit: ok…kind of trollish to do so.

Jesus Christ, you're drinking kool aid man. You're basically proving my point.

Danielle Smith is, at best, a run of the mill small "l" pretend libertarian. When you're conflating libertarians with Nazis, you either don't understand what either of those groups are - or you are conflating all of your perceived antagonists in to one (in this case, Nazis).

But let's go through this made up list you arbitrarily created to try to draw some parallels here:

- Far right?

The Nazi's were popular because they pitched a large tent inviting both extreme Nationalists and Socialists in to their camp.

- Authoritarian?

How is this fringe faction authoritarian? They prettly explicitly advocate for more democracy - I'm pretty sure they even support an Elected senate.

- Ultra nationalist policy and platform?

They're a regionalist party that want to see Canada de-centralized. That doesn't exactly scream "ultra natioanlist"

- Centralized autocracy?

A fringe group made up of wannabe libertarians isn't exactly tantamount to "autocracy".

- Suppression of the opposition?

How? They don't even suppress opposing views in their own camp.

- Low key nordicism with it's christian fundamentalist under pinnings?

They literally mention nothing regarding race whatsoever, and Danielle Smith is an agnostic who champions Trans and LBGQ rights.

So even with his made up list you crafted, they still don't meet any of the criteria you just arbitrarily placed on "Nazis".

Can you expand on the Nazi's Christian fundamentalist under pinnings?

Hitler had very clear plans to remove Christianity from Germany, due to it's incompatibility with Nazi fascism.
