Well I need not defend comments from other commenters. They can speak for themselves. You may be mixing the reality that people don’t care about a touchy felly arguments with thinking they condone it.

Well, given that you made the discussion about aggregate political entities, named a specific group as representative of the concept of schadenfreude, it was demonstrated that said concept is an a displayed trait of a conservative-aligned individual and, while it's true you need not defend a conservative comment displaying schadenfreude, you weren't asked to defend it -rather you were asked for an explanation. Do you have one?

Once again, what are you using as evidence that MAGA supporters are nazis?

In order to repeat a question, it must first have been asked at least once. Seems you're remembering things that didn't happen again. Care to rephrase the question?

I was referring to the dozens of times I have asked this question, and have never received an answer.

Okay, well, this is the first time you've asked it of me. In the future, it might be best clarify a question's elsewhen, elsewhom-ness relative to the addressed.

Anyway, as there's a certain segment of the population ill-equipped to discern fact from fiction, pre-disposed to accept, cite social media, op-ed pieces as valid sources, I'm somewhat hesitant to ask whether you've done your own research. That said, have you looked into the number of incidents involving MAGA-aligned neo-Nazis? It's not an insignificant number.

By no means is that to say that all Trump-supporters are literally Nazis... however, if a political figure employs Hitlerian rhetoric, appeals to bigotry, notions of superiority/inferiority, uses rumors, half-truths and outright lies to demonize minorities and anyone voicing dissent, uses the power of the state to marginalize segments of the population, incites followers to violently storm public institutions, what is the functional difference between that political figure's battle standard and Hitler's rolling wheel, between that political figure's followers and Hitler's?

Quite a bit, why? Is op sayng that they took power because of shadenfreude? You say that the support of genocide against the jews was because of shadenfreude, but the Nazis already were in power by 1938, and had been for five years.

"You say that the support of genocide against the jews was because of shadenfreude"

I said nothing of the sort; that's your imagination telling you things happened that didn't. What I DID was ask how much you know about how Hitler took over Germany. And, as you've laid claim to "quite a bit" of knowledge on the subject, it follows that you're aware of the rhetoric Hitler employed to get himself elected as well as the subsequent, government-enacted ethnic persecution of Jews that began that same year (1933)... which raises questions concerning your apparent struggle to understand the OP -foremost of which being:

Is it your assertion that a populist political party which commonly believes that a particular ethnic minority is responsible not just their hardships but also for the entire world's hardships wouldn't experience schadenfreude witnessing that minority's government-sanctioned persecutive misfortune?

No I was just curious about how you respond to that. I do agree that they turned the Jews into their scapegoat.

Respond to what? "That" is very large, nebulous category.

My comment.

Still rather broad but let's see... given that the OP doesn't specifically denote MAGA as members of the Nazi party, it's reasonable to interpret the meme as drawing a parallel between the two relative to the experiencing of schadenfreude.

Seriously? Did you read any of the text, or do you just look at pictures?
