Over the past several years, I have used several different terms to refer to those who STILL

support Trump.

I've called them Trumpies, cultists, the Dark Side, knuckle-draggers, Kool Aid drinkers and fascists. None of them really seemed to have the visceral impact I thought appropriate for these aberrant specimens. One alternative term has been lurking out beyond the boundary of "civil discourse" for a few years and I have now decided to use it and just not be burdened by the "nice" standard any longer.

These people are nazis, plain and simple. Small "n"since I understand that the capital "N" type were incomparably more despicable. But, "nazi" does have that nasty punch-in-the-gut to-hell-with-Godwin effect that these beings so richly deserve.

They're nazis and saying so feels right to me.
