There is no line, no horseshoe, not dodecahedron or whatever shape you might want to invent where you will conveniently put yourself as far away from Nazis on that shape.
Human minds are hard wired for tribalism. Political groups will always have a tendency towards tribalism and ideology only exists to recruit more members and keep existing member loyal to the tribe.
This is why you’ll notice a lot of hypocrisy in any political group. Why people will support the same thing they were previously against depending entirely on whether someone within their group is promoting it. Ideology isn’t the primary motivator for a political group, tribalism is.
Most of the comments I see from leftists here could be copy and pasted directly into a MAGA forum and they would be well received. Leftists and Trumpists are really only different in some very minor differences in terminology they use. Just find and replace “late stage capitalism” for “globalist agenda” and many more comments would work with MAGAs. And of course leftists won’t like Trump (he’s not in their tribe) but the majority of comments from leftists aren’t against Trump, they’re against liberals.
“I can think about issues” - continues to argue literal horseshoe theory.
