That is a [Google Vomit](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Google%20Vomit), as useful as plain vomit.

You and your fellow travellers seem to think so, given how often you all pop in to parrot the latest right-wing propaganda. But I suppose it makes sense that you would assume we do the same, in much the same way that con artists assume everyone else is one too.

> The thing is: both Democrats and Republicans alike condemn the Stalinist and Maoist mass slaughters of innocents. But the Nazi mass slaughter of innocents? There are prominent Republicans who are Holocaust deniers, there are Trump supporters marching in the streets waving Nazi flags, and there have been self-identified Nazis running as Republicans in recent elections. The Stalinists are history apart from a few fringe loonies; the Nazis are very much alive and kicking in the modern Republican Party and the party is notably lax in its rejection of them.

But the nazis are the “very fine people” dontcha know. Uh huh. Trump said so.

I prefer the term _Mitläufer_ … it has that certain… Teutonic… air about it.
