22. I agree - nor should we underestimate the destructive potential of the cruel repub agenda

If they were to remain in power over a long period of time, many millions of people will die as a direct result of the Ayn Randian, environment-destroying policies these fuckers would like to force on us. Maybe taken as a percentage of the current world population, or as a rate of murder over any given timeframe, this still wouldn't be as bad as the evil inflicted by the Nazis, but they are species of the same type of evil...especially when it comes to overt racists who admire and would like to directly imitate the original Nazis.

Nevertheless, I take your point...except for the ones waving swastika flags, maybe we should leave the Nazis out of the discussion.

Maybe better to say, if the repub agenda were pursued to its fullest extent, it would eventually kill more people than Stalin did. Then again there are more humans on the earth these days, so maybe the value of a human life is diminished, I dunno...
