I agree with you. Though perhaps I was being too subtle. Yes, if you are okay with fascists and fascism then you are one of them. The whole point was that it isn't better to support it than it is to outright claim to be it.
As the proverb says, the road to hell is often paved with good intentions. That may have been what Godwin intended. But that wasn't the result. The result was we were loathe to even discuss the Republican party's enduring fascism problems In general. Especially in recent times. Because someone would shout out "Godwin's law!" as a discussion-ending cliche. Simply because Republicans hadn't slaughtered millions recently.
We lost all focus on how it starts, over defference with how it ended. Leaving many many people to wonder where the fascism that has existed for most of the last 100 years suddenly came from.
Look man, I'm gonna need you to stop being so reasonable and polite when debating on the Internet, or I'm gonna have to call your ISP and get your internet privileges revoked.
