Except that's not the definition of either of those words, and has nothing to do with what they actually mean.
It's just an internet meme - designed to be, you know, cute and funny.
Try your local library instead.
- Dalewyn 2y agoGodwin's Law actually predates the internet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reductio_ad_Hitlerum https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reductio_ad_Hitlerum Whatever the law might be called, the result is the same: The vapid use of words as fallback insults leads to the words inevitably losing any valuable meaning. Kelly called Trump fascist invoking Hitler, Harris called Trump fascist in kind, Democrats called Trump and Republicans racists/sexists/rapists/fascists. As a reasonable man, all I can take away is that you guys don't like Trump and Republicans and everyone who sides with them. If that's your mojo then that's fine, but those words are otherwise worthless as far as I'm concerned. Please stop violating Godwin's Law and make an argument worth discussing instead.
- aguaviva 2y agoReductio ad Hitlerum doesn't have anything to do with what those words mean, either. Or have any bearing otherwise on what Harris said in that context.
