I understand going straight to nazis is a maximalist position. But this analogy hurts me. I tend to be picky with analogies because they tend to shred nuance, but this one is the worst one I've heard in memory. Implying that politics effecting things is like saying "you too can be a billionaire" in rarity is just wrong. It's not the one example, mussolini was literally next door. For a more recent example, remember how the uk voted to wreck their economy? For one close to home, remember how a guy barely won the electoral vote (10,000 in one state would have flipped it) and now women can't get an abortion in Texas without being on death's door (doctors, be careful how you define that if you don't want a prison sentence)? Politics affects things. Whether it's nationally or who gets into your schoolboard and starts banning Darwin.
