>If someone says that "We in group X have it as bad as the Jews did in Nazi Germany", that doesn't really sound antisemitic to me. I'll note that what Carano did was actually weaker - she just said that tribal hatred motivated the persecution of Jews and that tribal hatred was also leading to the persecution of Republicans. Her critics were more than happy to prove her correct. She never claimed that Republicans were being treated as poorly as Jews in Nazi Germany, just that the ugly impulses that lead to one sort of persecution were also motivating another. The most-repugnant part of her cancellation is the implicit double-standard wherein progressives are claiming cultural ownership of Nazi/Holocaust metaphors - when they use them to describe Republicans it's fine, but when Republicans try to create analogies it's presumptively anti-Semitic since it denigrates the horrors of the Holocaust.
