We use "Nazis" to describe these people as if the United States lacks the history to properly contextualize what's happening. As if Nazis weren't America's biggest fans, and Jim Crow wasn't Hitler's muse.
It's overused to the point where we rarely if ever look to our own history to understand. As if white supremacy was an import. As if our parents and grandparents didn't build the systems currently leaking from the margins today.
